Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Lawanda Lashae Woods, Appellant v. the State of Texas

February 20, 20022002 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 40

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas reversed the Court of Appeals because the appellant failed to comply with Rule 25.2(b)(3) notice requirements, depriving the appellate court of jurisdiction to review both the conviction and the adult certification order. The case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Justice WOMACK, in a concurring opinion, agreed with the judgment but argued the rule should not apply to the appeal after probation revocation.
