2002In Howlett v. State, 994 S.W.2d 663, 666 (Tex.Crim.App.l999)(footnote omitted) the court said: In its most basic form the doctrine “provides that an appellate court’s resolution of a question of law in a previous appeal of the same case will govern the disposition of the same issue when raised in a subsequent appeal.” Law of the case is a court-made doctrine designed to promote judicial consistency and efficiency that eliminates the need for appellate courts to prepare opinions discussing previously resolved matters.
