Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Apolonio Ernesto Vasquez, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
February 16, 19721972 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 2108
Summary
The Court affirmed the conviction for second‑offense marijuana possession, reforming the judgment and sentence to correctly state the offense as a second offense and to set a fixed ten‑year term. It rejected the appellant's eight grounds of error, holding that prior convictions may be used for enhancement regardless of amendment dates, that the corrected plea admonishment satisfied statutory requirements, that informing the defendant of a probation right was not required, that the indictment was sufficient, that counsel was effective, that the evidence supported the guilty plea, and that the judgment and sentence could be reformed under Texas law.
