, To the Instructor
This Instructor’s Manual is written for use with Texas Criminal Law: Principles
and Practices (2nd Edition) by Jerry L. Dowling. The guide was created to assist
instructors who teach a substantive criminal law course that uses the Texas Penal Code
(TPC) as a core resource. While sections of the TPC are excerpted in Texas Criminal
Law, it is strongly recommended that each student have access to his or her own written
copy of the TPC for ready reference both in and out of class. In his courses the author
allows students to refer to the TPC during examinations, holding to the view that the
ability to apply the law accurately to factual circumstances is more important than mere
rote memory of rules and definitions. Students should be encouraged to review the
textbook’s appendix prior to attempting to use the TPC. The appendix explains the
structure of the TPC. Elsewhere in this guide one will find sources for copies of the TPC.
Each chapter in this guide contains several parts:
A chapter overview – A succinct description of the content of the particular chapter is
presented. This material allows the instructor to recall the coverage of the chapter
without referring directly to the textbook.
Chapter objectives – The learning objectives presented at the beginning of each chapter
in Texas Criminal Law are displayed. These serve as a handy reminder of the main
points covered in the respective chapters as the instructor prepares further instructional or
examination materials.
An outline of the chapter – These outlines are drawn from the main headings of the
Criminal Law Replay found at the end of each chapter in Texas Criminal Law. From
this outline the instructor can easily develop lesson plans for the chapter. The outlines
closely track the sequence of the PowerPoint® slides which are available on the
publisher’s website as an additional resource. Should instructors choose, they can cut-
and-paste copies of the outlines and add their own materials. The new document can then
be printed off to serve as the instructor’s classroom guide or lesson plan.
A list of changes/transition guide – Any significant changes from the first to the second
edition of Texas Criminal Law are noted at this point. In general, such changes largely
involve updating of statutory or case material. However, in a few instances content has
been moved to a different chapter in the second edition.
CRIMEGRAPH – One particularly useful instructional resource is the CRIMEGRAPH
that appears at the end of each book chapter. These display the elements of each offense
in a visual format. The CRIMEGRAPH attempts to deconstruct the technical legal jargon
of the TPC. Students are able to use the CRIMEGRAPH to determine if the elements of
a particular offense are present in a given factual situation.
Case decisions - New to this edition of Texas Criminal Law are selected appellate court
opinions. Most chapters contain two or more such case opinions. Most are drawn from
Texas Court of Appeals or Texas Court of Criminal Appeals rulings. A few decisions of
