Holding: The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals’ redetermination that Bobby James Moore does not have an intellectual disability and is thus eligible for the death penalty is inconsistent with the Supreme Court’s 2017 decision in Moore v. Texas.

Judgment: Reversed and remanded in a per curiam opinion on February 19, 2019. Chief Justice Roberts filed a concurring opinion. Justice Alito filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justices Thomas and Gorsuch joined.
