Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Stephen Alvarez and Barry Johnson, Appellants v. the State of Texas, Appellee

October 8, 19801980 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1396

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the forfeiture of an appearance bond, holding that the trial court properly entered a nunc pro tunc final judgment to correct a clerical error even though more than thirty days had passed. The court also found that the admission of extrinsic evidence to correct the record and the district court's jurisdiction to make such corrections were proper.
