March 21, 20072007 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 372

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals held that the trial court did not violate the appellant's Fourteenth Amendment due process rights by revoking his probation and imposing a sentence without a separate hearing on punishment; the revocation hearing satisfied due process requirements. The Court affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeals, noting that the appellant could have presented mitigation evidence at the revocation hearing if he was prepared.
