Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

An application for habeas relief in an aggravated assault case is granted where applicant's counsel performed deficiently by failing to investigate certain evidence involving the complainant's cell phone, and the deficient performance undermined confidence in the result of the trial and so undermined the proper functioning of the adversarial process that the trial could not be relied on as having produced a just result.
