Art. 52.02. EVIDENCE; DEPOSITION; AFFIDAVITS. At the
hearing at a Court of Inquiry, evidence may be taken orally or by
deposition, or, in the discretion of the judge, by affidavit. If
affidavits are admitted, any witness against whom they may bear has
the right to propound written interrogatories to the affiants or to
file answering affidavits. The judge in hearing such evidence, at
his discretion, may conclude not to sustain objections to all or to
any portion of the evidence taken nor exclude same; but any of the
witnesses or attorneys engaged in taking the testimony may have any
objections they make recorded with the testimony and reserved for
the action of any court in which such evidence is thereafter sought
to be admitted, but such court is not confined to objections made at
the taking of the testimony at the Court of Inquiry. Without
restricting the foregoing, the judge may allow the introduction of
any documentary or real evidence which he deems reliable, and the
testimony adduced before any grand jury.
