Editor’s note: Texas Lawyer turned 25 on April 3. To mark our anniversary, each week the editorial department is looking back at the news we covered over the past 25 years and selecting one story to update for readers. This week, senior reporter John Council updates an article from the May 25, 1987, issue of Texas Lawyer, “Legislative Continuance Upheld.”
In 1987, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals upheld the state’s legislative-continuance statute, finding that the prosecution could not claim a due-process exception to the law.
