Sanchez v. Texas (original by judge yeary)
Annotate this CaseThe issue in this case is whether the trial court should have permitted Appellant Jose Sanchez to withdraw his waiver of a jury trial that was executed in anticipation of a negotiated plea that was never consummated. After overruling several requests by Appellant to withdraw his jury waiver, the trial court afforded him a bench trial. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals concluded the trial court abused its discretion by failing to permit the withdrawal of appellant’s jury-trial waiver. Judgment was reversed and the matter remanded for further proceedings.
