Ex Parte David Pena, Applicant
March 13, 20022002 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 50
Summary
The Court of Criminal Appeals dismissed Mr. Pena's habeas corpus application, holding that the judgment, though possibly inaccurate, was not void or illegal and that Pena waived any error by failing to object at the time the fine was imposed or on direct appeal; a dissent argued the fine was unauthorized and collaterally attackable.
