Thomas v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that where indictment alleged appellant failed to comply with specific sex offender registration requirement, jury could not find him guilty on alternative theory
• holding that evidence a defendant was living at a new address as of a particular day was sufficient for a jury to have reasonably concluded that he intended to change addresses on that date
• providing that jury may choose to believe or disbelieve any portion of the witnesses’ testimony
• noting that a material variance renders a conviction “infirm” but that “[i]mmaterial variances do not affect the validity of a criminal conviction”
• stating that in a sufficiency review, the court compares the elements of the crime as defined by the hypothetically correct jury charge—the law as authorized by the indictment—to the evidence adduced at trial
• concluding, under nearly identical indictment, that evidence that Thomas was living at unregistered address on alleged move date was sufficient to support conclusion that he had intended to move by that date
