Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Ex Parte James Timothy White, Applicant

January 10, 20072007 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 12

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the trial court's determination that the applicant's prior Delaware conviction, although probated and never revoked, could be used to enhance his Texas sex‑offense sentences, that such enhancement did not violate the ex post facto clause, and that his trial counsel was not ineffective. The court rejected the applicant's habeas corpus claims on all three grounds.
