He filed a motion to suppress challenging the legality of the search which led to the discovery of marihuana. After the trial court overruled the motion, appellant pled nolo contendere and was sentenced pursuant to a plea bargain to eight years, probated, and fined $5,000.00. He appealed the search issue and the Court of Appeals affirmed. Vannatta v. State, 773 S.W.2d 771 (Tex.App.-Corpus Christi 1989).
