Gloria Renee Watson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court held that the State's jurisdictional ground was sustained because the appellant's notice of appeal did not satisfy Tex. R.App. Proc. 40(b)(1), reversing the Court of Appeals and dismissing the appeal. The Court also concluded that the ten‑year sentence did not exceed the original deferred‑adjudication recommendation. Two dissenting opinions argued that Hernandez remains good law and that the majority erred in applying Rule 40(b)(1).
