* ''Thomas v. State'', 40 Tex. 36, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/040_Tex_36.pdf#page=3 38] (1874) ("The right to interpose this ground of defense is not derived from the code, but from the constitution. It is a right secured to the citizen by all of our American constitutions, which declare that 'no person for the same offense shall be twice put in jeopardy of life,' etc. Const. art. 1, sec. 12. This right had been established . . . . Its meaning and the extent of its application had also been settled by that law, both in England and America, before Texas had existence as a state. When, then, this right was declared in the constitution, it is undoubtedly presumed that the same construction and application of it was designed to be secured.") | * ''Thomas v.
