Charles William Pitts, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that a written judicial confession contained in the trial transcript—though not in the statement of facts—is part of the appellate record and constitutes evidence to satisfy Article 1.15 of the V.A.C.C.P. for a guilty plea. The case was remanded for reconsideration consistent with this ruling.
