12-22-1972 Justice Stewart, Memorandum
This case came here as an appeal, on the representation that Texas courts had sustained the constitutionality of 4.02. c. 4. of the Texas Family Code and Articles 602 and 602a of the Texas Penal Code, over a challenge to those statutes under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

05-03-1977 Correspondence from Stewart to Burger
Since this case hardly rises to the level of a peewee, since it is late in the Term, and since the vote at our Conference was quite one-sided, I suggest that it might appropriately be disposed of in a one-sentence order along the following lines
05-01-1981 Correspondence from Stewart to Powell
Dear Lewis, It seems to me that Bill Rehnquist\u27s explanation of his continuing preference for a dismiss as improvidently granted has considerable merit. I do not, however, feel strongly about the matter
