Reynaldo Carrillo, Jr., Petitioner v. the State of Texas, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals, vacated the juvenile court's delinquency adjudication, and dismissed the case, holding that the State's amendment of charges after trial began violated due process under In re Gault. The Court also held that the case was not moot despite the juvenile's age, the vacating order, and satisfaction of the sentence. Justice Calvert, in a concurring opinion, disagreed with the majority's conclusion that satisfaction of the sentence did not render the case moot.
