Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Avery Owen Degay, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

December 2, 19871987 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 720

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the trial court’s revocation of probation, holding that the trial court abused its discretion by relying on an oral instruction from a probation officer that conflicted with statutory requirements and denied the appellant due process. The revocation is set aside and the case remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
