Robert Emmett Houlihan, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

March 28, 19791979 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1306

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas denied the petition for a writ of mandamus, holding that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to consider the motion for shock probation because the statutory 120‑day jurisdiction period had expired, and that a defendant previously placed on probation is not statutorily ineligible for shock probation.
