Ford v. State

OPINION

Opinion by

Justice MOSELEY.

After the trial court denied his motion to suppress evidence, Ross Layton Ford pleaded guilty to having possessed less than two ounces of marihuana. The trial court found the evidence substantiated Ford’s guilt, but deferred entry of a finding of guilt and placed Ford on community supervision for a period of twelve months. Ford now appeals, contending the trial court erred by denying his suppression motion. We reverse the judgment.
