Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Charles Dwight Armstrong, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

March 20, 19911991 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 59

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the trial court’s conviction and the Court of Appeals’ judgment, rejecting the State’s cross‑appeal under Article 44.01(c). It held that the State could not obtain appellate review of the trial court’s ruling that the prior conviction was void for enhancement purposes because such review would be advisory and barred by double jeopardy principles.
