MAX ALEXANDER SOFFAR, Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS

---

ON DIRECT APPEAL

FROM CAUSE NO. 319724 IN THE 232ND DISTRICT COURT

HARRIS COUNTY

---

Keasler, J., filed a concurring opinion in which Hervey, J., joined.

CONCURRING OPINION I join the Court's opinion with the exception of point of error twenty-seven. Consistent with my dissenting opinion to the Court's decision to improvidently grant rehearing in Thompson v. State, I would hold that there was no error under Maine v. Moulton. ⁽¹⁾ I further urge the majority of the Court to reconsider its understanding of this case and other Supreme Court precedent.
