The State of Texas, Petitioner v. Silver Chevrolet Pickup Vin 1gcec14t7ye257128 Tag No. 3tmx16, and Other Assets…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the State’s failure to file a lis pendens notice within three days does not deprive the trial court of jurisdiction over a civil forfeiture action, and that the State had jurisdiction despite the alleged improper seizure. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and entered judgment for the State.
