"No new trial for Texas death row inmate despite Collin County prosecutor's affair with judge"

Howard Basham at How Appealing had the following today:
"No new trial for Texas death row inmate despite Collin County prosecutor's affair with judge": The Dallas Morning News has this update.

And The Associated Press has a report headlined "No retrial for condemned man after judge-DA affair."

Today's ruling of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals -- that State's highest court in criminal cases -- consists of a per curiam order and a dissenting statement.
Interestingly, Florida reached a different result relating to allegations of an improper relationship between a Judge and prosecutor. [See here].
