Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · decided 2011-08-24

Decided 2011-08-24

MEYERS, J.,

¶1 dissenting.

¶2 I would grant Appellant’s petition for discretionary review and affirm the court of appeals. While I agree with the decision of the court of appeals, I do not feel that the issue raised by Appellant was fully addressed in the opinion. We have determined that a threat under the retaliation statute can be communicated to the person being threatened through a third party, however, we have never considered whether the complainant must have knowledge of the threat. Because this is an issue we should deliberate, I respectfully dissent to the Court’s decision to refuse Appellant’s petition for discretionary review.
