Aguilar v. Texas

Aguilar's (defendant) home was searched by Houston police under a warrant. The supporting affidavit stated only that the affiants had received reliable information from a credible person and believed narcotics were being kept at Aguilar's premises. Officers found and seized heroin, which was admitted over Aguilar's objection.

Whether the officers' affidavit provided a sufficient basis of probable cause for the magistrate to issue the search warrant.
