Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Bruce Patrick Wilson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

September 26, 19841984 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 773

Summary

The Court held that the "Nunc Pro Tunc Order" was inadmissible hearsay evidence because it was not certified under Art. 3720, V.A.C.S., and that the trial judge erred in taking judicial notice of that order. Consequently, the prior conviction used to enhance the sentence was void, and the case was reversed and remanded for a new sentencing hearing.
