Sanchez v. State

The case at hand has become the Sanchez Saga. This opinion is Sanchez v. The cause has been remanded a second time by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals --- this time for reconsideration of the issue of harm arising from the erroneous overruling of appellants pretrial motion to quash the indictment based on the lack of notice of the nature and cause of the accusation against him as constitutionally and statutorily required. The Court of Criminal Appeals has apparently limited our reconsideration to a special type of statutory harmless error analysis for charging instruments under article 21.19 of the Code of Criminal Procedure as interpreted in Adams v. State, 707 S.W.2d 900 (Tex. Crim. App. 1986). See Sanchez v. State, 120 S.W.3d 359, 368 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003) (Sanchez IV).
