Darcy v. Texas (original by presiding judge keller)
Annotate this CaseAt trial, defense counsel learned about a possible right-to-counsel violation that occurred before trial. Evidence involving and relating to the alleged violation was admitted at trial, but counsel did not complain until appeal. The court of appeals reversed appellant’s conviction without considering preservation of error. After its review of this matter, the Court of Criminal Appeals concluded that the court of appeals erred in failing to address preservation of error, and held that appellant forfeited his complaints by failing to raise them at trial.
