Court of Appeals of Texas May 14, 1884, No. 2892 (W. C. Thompson v. State)

Willson, Judge.

“There must be some particularity, or ¡ what the law calls certainty, in an indictment. The particular j act of which the State complains must be set forth in plain and intelligible words, so that the party who is accused may know what he will be called upon to answer, and may be able to prepare for his defense.” (Alexander v. The State, 29 Texas, 495.
