How courts have described this case

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

  • stating that issues that are strictly procedural in nature are governed by the laws of the forum state
  • noting that although Article 38.22 and the juvenile provisions of the Family Code “deal with the same general subject, the persons involved and the objectives of the two provisions are different,” and thus “the sections of the Family Code relevant to confessions prevail over [Article] 38.22”
  • “[I]t is Title 3 [of the Texas Family Code] that controls issues concerning juvenile confessions, not [Article] 38.22.”
