Simon v. State

The majority affirms this conviction and in doing so overrules Wilson v. State, 164 Tex.Cr.R. 233, 297 S.W.2d 830. The Legislature prior to the adoption of the present penal code enacted many special theft statutes including Article 1426c, in question. This Court construed this special statute in the Wilson case. So that there might be some predictability in the law I would follow the previous decision of this Court on the same question.
