Fernandez v. State

in which MEYERS, KEASLER, HERVEY, ALCALA, RICHARDSON, YEARY and NEWELL, JJ., joined.

We granted appellant’s petition for discretionary review to determine whether a public servant commits theft by deception when -he purchases an airline ticket for county-approved travel with a county credit card but later uses the voucher resulting from the cancellation of the ticket for personal .travel, without correcting the impression that the ticket would be used for county-approved business. We answer that question in the affirmative, and, consequently-,- we affirm the court of appeals.
