Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Fitzroy George Brown, Appellant v. the State of Texas
February 12, 19971997 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 11
Summary
The Court affirmed the lower courts, holding that a failure to give the statutory §5(a) informational warning does not automatically render a guilty plea involuntary; a defendant who negotiated deferred adjudication must show that the lack of information caused him to plead guilty, which the appellant failed to do.
