Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTION 1:
Whether the new Speedy Trial requirement created by the Texas
7th Court of Appeals in the instant case is in conflict with
current case law precedent, and federal and state constitutional
provisions?
Specifically, the newly-established requirement that a defend
ant must cease trial preparation once a speedy trial has been
requested if they are to have any hope of a successful appeal
on the issue of Speedy Trial.

QUESTION 2:
Whether a defendants opposition and objection to a State request
for a continuance made through his appointed counsel constitutes
a valid assertion of right to Speedy Trial as required by this
Courts decision in Barker v. Wingo?
