---|
425 | 425 | | SUPERVISION. (a) Except as provided by Article 42A.102(b), if in |
---|
426 | 426 | | the judge's opinion the best interest of society and the defendant |
---|
427 | 427 | | will be served, the judge may, after receiving a plea of guilty or |
---|
428 | 428 | | nolo contendere, hearing the evidence, and finding that it |
---|
429 | 429 | | substantiates the defendant's guilt, defer further proceedings |
---|
430 | 430 | | without entering an adjudication of guilt and place the defendant |
---|
431 | 431 | | on deferred adjudication community supervision. |
---|
432 | 432 | | (b) After placing the defendant on deferred adjudication |

433 | 433 | | community supervision under Subsection (a), the judge shall inform |

434 | 434 | | the defendant orally or in writing of the possible consequences |

435 | 435 | | under Articles 42A.108 and 42A.110 of a violation of a condition of |

---|
437 | 437 | | provided orally, the judge must record and maintain the judge's |
---|
438 | 438 | | statement to the defendant. The failure of a judge to inform a |

439 | 439 | | defendant of possible consequences under Articles 42A.108 and |
---|
440 | 440 | | 42A.110 is not a ground for reversal unless the defendant shows that |

---|
447 | 447 | | regardless of the age of the victim, or a defendant charged with a |
---|
448 | 448 | | felony described by Article 42A.453(b) only if the judge makes a |
---|
449 | 449 | | finding in open court that placing the defendant on deferred |
---|
450 | 450 | | adjudication community supervision is in the best interest of the |
---|
451 | 451 | | victim. The failure of the judge to make a finding under this |
---|
452 | 452 | | subsection is not grounds for the defendant to set aside the plea, |
---|
453 | 453 | | deferred adjudication, or any subsequent conviction or sentence. |
---|
454 | 454 | | (b) In all other cases, the judge may grant deferred |

---|
467 | 467 | | (B) has previously been placed on community |

477 | 477 | | defendant did not cause the death of the deceased, did not intend to |
---|
478 | 478 | | kill the deceased or another, and did not anticipate that a human |

479 | 479 | | life would be taken. (Code Crim. Proc., Art. 42.12, Secs. 5(a) |

---|
496 | 496 | | COMMUNITY SUPERVISION; IMPOSITION OF FINE. (a) The judge may impose |

513 | 513 | | with a sexually violent offense, as defined by Article 62.001, the |
---|
514 | 514 | | judge shall make an affirmative finding of fact and file a statement |
---|
515 | 515 | | of that affirmative finding with the papers in the case if the judge |

601 | 601 | | expiration of the supervision period: |
---|
602 | 602 | | (1) the attorney representing the state files a motion |

609 | 609 | | a supervision officer as directed or to remain within a specified |
---|
610 | 610 | | place that no supervision officer, peace officer, or other officer |

---|
621 | 621 | | supervision, and defendant's appeal, continue as if the |

---|
1349 | 1349 | | discretion, may credit against the fine assessed the cost paid by |

2856 | 2856 | | (2) if the judge determines that the best interests of |

2857 | 2857 | | society and the defendant would be served by a shorter term of |
---|
2858 | 2858 | | confinement, reduce the term of confinement originally assessed to |

2859 | 2859 | | any term of confinement not less than the minimum prescribed for the |

3039 | 3039 | | SECTION 2.08. Sections 4(a), (b), and (c), Article 37.07, |
---|
3040 | 3040 | | Code of Criminal Procedure, are amended to read as follows: |
---|
3041 | 3041 | | (a) In the penalty phase of the trial of a felony case in |
---|
3042 | 3042 | | which the punishment is to be assessed by the jury rather than the |
---|
3043 | 3043 | | court, if the offense of which the jury has found the defendant |
---|
3044 | 3044 | | guilty is an offense under Section 71.02, Penal Code, other than an |
---|
3045 | 3045 | | offense punishable as a state jail felony under that section, an |
---|
3046 | 3046 | | offense under Section 71.023, Penal Code, or an offense listed in |
---|
3047 | 3047 | | Article 42A.054(a) [Section 3g(a)(1), Article 42.12], or if the |
---|
3048 | 3048 | | judgment contains an affirmative finding under Article 42A.054(c) |
---|
3049 | 3049 | | or (d) [Section 3g(a)(2), Article 42.12], unless the defendant has |
---|
3050 | 3050 | | been convicted of an offense under Section 21.02, Penal Code, an |
---|
3051 | 3051 | | offense under Section 22.021, Penal Code, that is punishable under |
---|
3052 | 3052 | | Subsection (f) of that section, or a capital felony, the court shall |
---|
3053 | 3053 | | charge the jury in writing as follows: |
---|
3054 | 3054 | | "Under the law applicable in this case, the defendant, if |
---|
3055 | 3055 | | sentenced to a term of imprisonment, may earn time off the period of |
---|
3056 | 3056 | | incarceration imposed through the award of good conduct time. |
---|
3057 | 3057 | | Prison authorities may award good conduct time to a prisoner who |
---|
3058 | 3058 | | exhibits good behavior, diligence in carrying out prison work |
---|
3059 | 3059 | | assignments, and attempts at rehabilitation. If a prisoner engages |
---|
3060 | 3060 | | in misconduct, prison authorities may also take away all or part of |
---|
3061 | 3061 | | any good conduct time earned by the prisoner. |
---|
3062 | 3062 | | "It is also possible that the length of time for which the |
---|
3063 | 3063 | | defendant will be imprisoned might be reduced by the award of |
---|
3064 | 3064 | | parole. |
---|
3065 | 3065 | | "Under the law applicable in this case, if the defendant is |
---|
3066 | 3066 | | sentenced to a term of imprisonment, the defendant will not become |
---|
3067 | 3067 | | eligible for parole until the actual time served equals one-half of |
---|
3068 | 3068 | | the sentence imposed or 30 years, whichever is less, without |
---|
3069 | 3069 | | consideration of any good conduct time the defendant may earn. If |
---|
3070 | 3070 | | the defendant is sentenced to a term of less than four years, the |
---|
3071 | 3071 | | defendant must serve at least two years before the defendant is |
---|
3072 | 3072 | | eligible for parole. Eligibility for parole does not guarantee |
---|
3073 | 3073 | | that parole will be granted. |
---|
3074 | 3074 | | "It cannot accurately be predicted how the parole law and |
---|
3075 | 3075 | | good conduct time might be applied to this defendant if sentenced to |
---|
3076 | 3076 | | a term of imprisonment, because the application of these laws will |
---|
3077 | 3077 | | depend on decisions made by prison and parole authorities. |
---|
3078 | 3078 | | "You may consider the existence of the parole law and good |
---|
3079 | 3079 | | conduct time. However, you are not to consider the extent to which |
---|
3080 | 3080 | | good conduct time may be awarded to or forfeited by this particular |
---|
3081 | 3081 | | defendant. You are not to consider the manner in which the parole |
---|
3082 | 3082 | | law may be applied to this particular defendant." |
---|
3083 | 3083 | | (b) In the penalty phase of the trial of a felony case in |
---|
3084 | 3084 | | which the punishment is to be assessed by the jury rather than the |
---|
3085 | 3085 | | court, if the offense is punishable as a felony of the first degree, |
---|
3086 | 3086 | | if a prior conviction has been alleged for enhancement of |
---|
3087 | 3087 | | punishment as provided by Section 12.42(b), (c)(1) or (2), or (d), |
---|
