IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. PD-0616-04

JASON CHRISTOPHER SMITH, Appellant

THE STATE OF TEXAS

ON STATE'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

FROM THE SECOND COURT OF APPEALS

DENTON COUNTY

Meyers, J., filed a dissenting opinion.

DISSENTING OPINION

When we changed the disposition of statute of limitations in Proctor and Lemell^{^[1]} we suggested many ways for defendants to seek pre trial relief. Because of the tenuous nature of statutes of limitations, I would allow this claim to be brought on pretrial habeas. Therefore, I respectfully dissent.

Meyers, J.
