Ex Parte Luan Van Hoang, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that a conviction rendered by a court lacking jurisdiction is a void judgment that does not bar a subsequent prosecution under either state or federal double jeopardy principles. Accordingly, the appellant may be reindicted and tried again for the same aggravated robberies despite the prior void convictions. The court also declined to find a violation of the appellant's plea agreement or due‑process rights, deeming those arguments premature.
