Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Ex Parte Karol Ray McATEE
May 28, 19801980 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1227
Summary
The Court granted the petitioner's habeas corpus petition, holding that a trial court's total failure to admonish a defendant of the range of punishment under Art. 26.13(a)(1) is reversible error that does not require a showing of harm, and therefore set aside the life sentence.
