Wright v. Texas (original by presiding judge keller)
Annotate this CaseAppellant Sir Melvin Wright, Jr. was indicted for failing to register as a sex offender. On direct appeal from the revocation of “regular” community supervision, appellant contended that his sentence was illegal. He argued that the court of appeals erred in applying the habeas harm analysis from "Ex parte Parrott," (396 S.W.3d 531 (2013)) to his case on direct appeal. After review, the Court of Criminal Appeals rejected appellant’s complaint because his illegal-sentence claim on was a collateral attack on the judgment from the original plea proceeding. Consequently, the court of appeals' judgment was affirmed.
