Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Thomas J. Davis, Appellant v. the State of Texas

June 28, 20062006 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1283

Summary

The Court held that the statutory prohibition against appealing a trial court's determination to adjudicate guilt contains no jurisdictional exception, so claims that the trial court lacked jurisdiction—such as a denial of counsel at a supervision‑extension hearing—are not appealable. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and affirmed the trial court's judgment.
