How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

holding that a prompt instruction to disregard will cure a witness’s inadvertent reference to an extraneous offense
holding that an accused’s voluntary sworn confession before a grand jury is admissible without having to meet any of Article 38.22’s prerequisites
holding that murder should have been anticipated because defendant brought a knife to the burglary and he knew his co-conspirator “usually would have had a knife in that situation”
stating that generally, when a witness references a defendant’s prior incarceration, “a prompt instruction to disregard cures the error”
noting that to preserve error, “the most important procedure is to press the specific objection to the point of obtaining an adverse ruling.”
concluding appellant preserved error related to the prosecutor’s improper comment on appellant’s extraneous offense because appellant “immediately requested that an instruction to disregard be given and that a mistrial be declared”
