Henery v. State (Original)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was charged with indecent exposure, enhanced with a prior conviction for the same offense. A conflict existed between the trial court's oral denial of a motion to quash defendant's information and its subsequent written order granting the same motion. The state asked the court to reverse the judgment of the court of appeals, which held that the trial court lost jurisdiction to accept defendant's guilty plea after it signed the order granting his motion to quash. The court granted the State's petition for discretionary review and vacated the judgment because the plain language of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 44.4 required the court of appeals to abate the case.
