Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas May 23, 2007, PD-0018-06 (Mixon v. State)

OPINION

HOLCOMB, J.,

delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court.

In this case, we are asked to determine whether, under Texas Rule of Evidence 503, an attorney-client privilege is established when a person consults with a lawyer with a view to obtaining professional legal services from him, even if the lawyer declines to represent that person at the end of the consultation. We hold that it does.
