Re: Article 38.39
It means that the case has been disposed of - either by conviction or by dismissal, and enough time has elapsed that there are no more appeals. The state then asks permission of the court to dispose of any evidence left from the case -- usually to clear out storage rooms etc. The defendant, at the conclusion of the case, in some cases, has the right to ask for property to be returned to him/her.
