DORA, JAMES JR. v. the State of Texas

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS

NO. PD-0198-24

JAMES DORA, JR., Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS

ON APPELLANT=S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
FROM THE SEVENTH COURT OF APPEALS
LUBBOCK COUNTY

Per curiam.

OPINION

We granted Appellant, James Dora Jr.’s, petition for discretionary review to

determine whether the Fifth Court of Appeals erred in holding that the jury need

only find the defendant acted recklessly to convict him of aggravated robbery under

the “intent to promote or assist” theory of party liability. See Tex. Penal Code Ann.
2

§ 7.02(a)(2). Having examined the records and briefs, we conclude that our

decision to grant was improvident. We therefore dismiss Appellant’s petition for

discretionary review as improvidently granted.
