Tapia v. Texas (original by judge richardson)
Annotate this CaseOn two separate occasions appellant was brought before the trial court on motions to revoke deferred adjudication community supervision and adjudicate guilt. The Court of Criminal Appeals granted discretionary review to determine whether the court of appeals properly held that due process prohibited the trial court from revoking appellant’s probation after the second revocation hearing, based on grounds that the trial court was aware of, but did not consider, at the first revocation hearing. Because the Court did not think appellant’s due process rights were violated under the facts of this case, it reversed the court of appeals.
