Furr v. Texas (original by judge hervey)
Annotate this CaseAppellant Chris Furr was charged with possession of a controlled substance after police found heroin on him while patting him down for weapons. He moved to suppress, arguing that he was illegally stopped and frisked. The trial court denied the motion. Furr pled guilty, and was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment, probated for three years. He appealed the denial of the motion to suppress, again arguing that he was illegally stopped and frisked. The court of appeals affirmed, and finding no error with that judgment, the Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed too.
