10TH COURT OF APPEALS HEARS CASES AT BLINN COLLEGE

  

The Texas 10th Court of Appeals made history while it held a session at the Blinn College-Bryan Campus, Wednesday.

For the first time in Texas history, the Waco-based appellate court heard a case involving a misdemeanor offense of unlawful disclosure or promotion of intimate visual material.

This case was heard alongside two others on the Blinn-Bryan Campus before an audience of students, faculty, and members of the community. This marked the sixth consecutive year the court has held session at Blinn as part of a campaign to education the public about the role of appellate courts in the justice system.

Other cases heard Wednesday include: a couple seeking to modify the custody arrangement of their great-nephews, and a case in which the appellant claims the State did not provide sufficient evidence to prove he evaded arrest after a traffic stop.

The justices returned to Waco, where they will research the legal issues and precedents, then issue a written opinion.

The event is hosted by the Blinn Legal Assistants Program and the Legal Assistant Student Organization.
