Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

A decision reversing a conviction for retaliation is reversed where: 1) the court of appeals erred in drawing a bright-line rule that a threat of harm and actual harm cannot arise from the same act and occur simultaneously, and that the threat must precede the initial harm; and 2) the evidence was legally sufficient to support the retaliation conviction.
