Texas Supreme Court

Harris County District Attorney’s Office, Petitioner v. J.t.s., Respondent

April 24, 199134 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 538

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the repeal of article 42.13 and its consolidation into article 42.12 does not alter the scope of article 55.01's expunction provisions. Consequently, a person who pleaded guilty and was placed on probation is deemed to have been under court‑ordered supervision, failing the statutory requirement for expunction. The Court reversed the appellate court’s judgment and denied the expunction request.
