I was browsing publicly accessible appellate court records and came across the name Albert T. Flores in a 2001 opinion from the Texas Fourth Court of Appeals. According to the court’s published decision, Flores was the appellant in a criminal appeal after being convicted of murder and received a life sentence in Bexar County, Texas. The written opinion discusses his legal arguments on appeal — including challenges over how his statements to police were admitted and whether he should have received a jury instruction on self-defense — and ultimately affirms the conviction. Those details come straight from the public court document itself. What strikes me is that the only readily available public footprint for someone like him online is this sort of appellate opinion, which tells you more about the legal issues in the case than about him as a person. I’m curious if anyone has come across his name in other available public records — whether it’s court dockets, inmate locators, or anything that gives more background on his life outside of this one case.
