Ligon v. State

4 Citing cases

  1. Smith v. State

    501 S.W.2d 657 (Tex. Crim. App. 1973)   Cited 2 times

    The facts are simply insufficient to support the conviction. The State relies upon Ligon v. State, 170 Tex.Crim. R., 344 S.W.2d 168 (1961). There, in addition to failing to return the vehicle which had been rented in El Paso, the evidence showed, among other things, that Ligon hocked one of the vehicle's new spare tires for gas in Van Horn and when the officers approached him in Fort Worth some eight days after the expiration of the rental period, he fled in the car at more than 100 m.p.h. and after being shot at five times while running a roadblock, he wrecked the car and was apprehended.

  2. Gonzales v. State

    486 S.W.2d 380 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972)   Cited 6 times
    In Gonzales v. State, 486 S.W.2d 380 (Tex.Cr.App. 1972), the car in question was rented on September 25, 1970 for a week with a possible monthly rental being contemplated.

    This Court found the evidence sufficient to support the conviction. In Ligon v. State, 170 Tex.Crim. R., 344 S.W.2d 168, where defendant rented a car in El Paso and was found in Fort Worth eight days after the vehicle was to be returned under the rental agreement, a conviction of theft by bailee was sustained even though the defendant never at any time orally asserted a claim to it which was adverse to the owner. See Barber v. State, 462 S.W.2d 33.

  3. Barber v. State

    462 S.W.2d 33 (Tex. Crim. App. 1971)   Cited 12 times

    This Court held the evidence sufficient to sustain the conviction. In Ligon v. State, 170 Tex.Crim. R., 344 S.W.2d 168, a conviction for theft of an automobile by bailee was sustained even though the defendant never at any time asserted a claim to it which was adverse to the owner. Next appellant complains that the court erred in admitting testimony that appellant had the television set and other items belonging to Perkins in the pawn shop in Memphis.

    399 S.W.2d 363 (Tex. Crim. App. 1966)   Cited 4 times
    In Morgan v. State, 399 S.W.2d 363, this court held it was proper to allege ownership in a district superintendent, supervisor, foreman or plant superintendent.

    In Dean v. State, 165 Tex.Crim. R., 308 S.W.2d 501, the conviction was for theft of liquid petroleum gas. This Court, in overruling a contention similar to the one made herein, held that it was proper to allege ownership in the district superintendent, supervisor, foreman, or plant superintendent. See also Ritchie v. State, 171 Tex.Crim. R., 344 S.W.2d 878; Ligon v. State, 170 Tex.Crim. R., 344 S.W.2d 168.
