State v. Boren

HALL, Justice.

The State of Texas, appellant, seized from appellee, William Bret Boren, $7,300.00, which Boren allegedly received from the sale of controlled substances in violation of Vernon’s Tex.Civ.St. art. 4476— 15. Appellant filed notice of the seizure and intended forfeiture, and appellee filed a verified denial of allegations on October 25, 1982. At a hearing before the court on January 5, 1983, the trial court dismissed the case in response to appellee’s motion to dismiss for failure to timely set the hearing. The state appeals. We reinstate the case.

Art. 4476-15, Sec. 5.07(a)…
