Steve Rogers, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court held that the trial judge’s June 26, 1980 actions constituted a continuation of appellant’s probation, thereby stripping the judge of authority to revoke probation on September 26, 1980 without proof of a new violation, and remanded the case. The majority relied on Wallace and Wester to support this due‑process holding. A dissent argued that a prolonged continuance of the revocation hearing should not automatically become a continuation of probation, and a concurrence agreed with the result but offered alternative reasoning on the trial court’s discretion.
