Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Jerry Paul Lundgren, Appellant v. the State of Texas

June 25, 20142014 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 912

Summary

The Court held that a timely and effective motion for new trial stays the commencement of community supervision until the motion is overruled, and that an appellate waiver does not waive the right to file a motion for new trial. Accordingly, the trial court erred in revoking Lundgren's supervision and the judgment of the Court of Appeals was reversed and remanded.
