State v. Rossgreen

2025But because the State raised the illegal-sentence issue in its notice of appeal while the trial court had plenary power and because the Court of Criminal Appeals declined to opine on whether a direct challenge to an illegally harsh sentence could be barred by invited-error estoppel, see id. at 892 n.57, we will not dismiss based on invited error. 3 The State’s argument that the sentence is illegal because of the absence of a family-violence finding exceeds the limited scope of its permissible appeal because it challenges the finding of guilt, not the sentence. 2 Cf.

Rhodes v. State green
texcrimapp · 2007

2025But because the State raised the illegal-sentence issue in its notice of appeal while the trial court had plenary power and because the Court of Criminal Appeals declined to opine on whether a direct challenge to an illegally harsh sentence could be barred by invited-error estoppel, see id. at 892 n.57, we will not dismiss based on invited error. 3 The State’s argument that the sentence is illegal because of the absence of a family-violence finding exceeds the limited scope of its permissible appeal because it challenges the finding of guilt, not the sentence. 2 Cf. State v. Ross, 953 S.W.2d 7
