Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Eduardo Perez, Appellant v. the State of Texas
March 12, 20142014 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 269
Summary
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that Eduardo Perez forfeited his right to challenge the $203 of court costs included in his deferred‑adjudication order because he failed to raise the issue on a timely appeal, constituting a procedural default under Manuel. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals' judgment as to that $203, dismissed Perez's appeal on that portion, and remanded the case for the Court of Appeals to reconsider the remaining $37 of assessed costs in light of Johnson.
