Warren Tod Morrison v. State

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO. 03-97-00453-CR


Warren Tod Morrison, Appellant


v.



The State of Texas, Appellee






FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BEXAR COUNTY, 144TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 96CR0270A, HONORABLE SUSAN D. REED, JUDGE PRESIDING


In December 1996, appellant Warren Tod Morrison was convicted on his guilty plea and judicial confession to possessing more than one gram of methamphetamine. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.115(a), (c) (West Supp. 1998). Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, the district court assessed punishment at imprisonment for six years and a $1000 fine, suspended imposition of sentence, and placed appellant on community supervision. In June 1997, a hearing was held on the State's motion to revoke supervision. Appellant pleaded true to the alleged violations. The court revoked supervision and imposed the original sentence.

In his only point of error, appellant contends the district court erred by failing to admonish him in accordance with Code of Criminal Procedure article 26.13 before accepting his plea of true at the revocation hearing. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 26.13(a) (West 1994). This contention is without merit because article 26.13 does not apply to probation revocation proceedings. Harris v. State, 505 S.W.2d 576, 578 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Lanum v. State, 952 S.W.2d 36, 39 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 1997, no pet.). We note that appellant was properly admonished in writing at the time he pleaded guilty. See Art. 26.13(d). The point of error is overruled.

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
