Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Devin Lynne Burnett, Appellant v. the State of Texas

October 30, 20022002 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 211

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that the trial judge erred by failing to admonish the defendant about the statutory range of punishment under Article 26.13(a)(1), but found the error harmless because the record showed the defendant was fully aware of the possible sentence. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals' judgment and remanded for consideration of the remaining issues.
