- Title
MISTAKES WITH THE MISTAKE DEFENSE IN TEXAS CRIMINAL LAW.
- Authors
BUBANY, CHARLES P.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the challenges surrounding the application of the mistake of fact and mistake of law defenses in Texas criminal law. It offers suggestions on how to address them, including the requirement that the mistake of fact defense must be "reasonable," determining intent for an offense, confusion over the relationship between a defendant's mental state and causation, and distinguishing between a mistake of fact and a mistake of law.
