In Re James Allen Hall
June 12, 200952 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 849
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that the Juvenile Justice Code does not grant a statutory right to appointed counsel for a post‑adjudication habeas corpus proceeding filed by an adult who was adjudicated as a juvenile. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the lower court's denial of the petition for mandamus seeking such appointment.
