Plea Deals
Can a DA renege on a plea after the Defendant confesses, even if the Defendant is fully complying with the deal?

I don't think Troy 5.0 is a lawyer.

Who wants to give him admonishments?

Not an attorney...I am a police officer and I will remove myself from this site. Just thought I could get good information from the State's lawyers, regarding a legal issue.

Welcome to the TDCAA Bulletin Boards. The discussions in these user forums are for the benefit of prosecutors and their staff members, although we welcome relevant and appropriate input from other members of the criminal justice and government lawyer community. The opinions expressed on this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of TDCAA, its staff, or any other member of the association. These forums are NOT a source of legal advice for citizens. Call the State Bar of Texas (800/204-2222) for information on seeking legal advice.

If you are a police officer, I would suggest you contact your local District Attorney regarding the matter. The law regarding when a prosecutor can withdraw a plea offer is complex regarding both the Code of Criminal Procedure and ethical considerations.
