Edgar Luquis, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court affirmed the trial court and the Ninth Court of Appeals, holding that the statutorily‑required parole instruction—including language about good‑conduct time—does not violate due process or the Texas Constitution even when the defendant is ineligible for mandatory supervision. The instruction is mandated by Article 37.07, §4(a) and, viewed as a whole, is not misleading; therefore no error occurred. Justice Johnson filed a concurring opinion agreeing with the judgment.
