Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Eduardo Perez, Appellant v. the State of Texas

March 12, 20142014 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 269

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas held that Eduardo Perez's appeal challenging the $203 portion of his court‑cost assessment was procedurally barred because he failed to raise the issue on appeal of the deferred‑adjudication order, reversing the lower appellate court's judgment on that portion and dismissing the appeal with respect to $203, while remanding the remaining $37 for further consideration; a concurring opinion noted the forfeiture of rights and outlined alternative avenues for challenging court costs.
