James Edward May v. State Texas

James Edward May appeals from two convictions of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, to wit: amphetamine. The dispositive issue is whether Mays estranged wife, Barbara May, or his step-daughter, Rhonda Nowell, age eighteen, had authority to consent to certain searches of his residence. We conclude that they did not. Accordingly, we reverse the trial courts judgments and we remand the causes for proceedings in accordance with this opinion.
