Opinion

In the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas ════════════ No. PD-1076-24 ════════════

ISAIAH KAIN SALAS-MARTINEZ, Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS

═══════════════════════════════════════ On Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review From the First Court of Appeals Harris County ═══════════════════════════════════════

Per curiam.

We granted Appellant’s petition for discretionary review to consider whether Penal Code Section 46.02, which says it is unlawful for a person to carry a gun outside of his house, is unconstitutional in light of the Supreme Court’s opinion issued in New York State Rifle and SALAS-MARTINEZ – 2

Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022)? Having now examined the record and the briefs of the parties, we conclude that our decision to grant review in this particular case was improvident. We therefore dismiss Appellant’s petition as improvidently granted.
