See page 76 of The Perfect Plea for a discussion on the length of time for supervision in deferred adjudication cases. | |||

Page 76 of The Perfect Plea mentions felonies, does that include state jails. Also is there anywhere in the Code of Criminal Procedure where this is specifically addressed? | |||

A state jail felony is, indeed, a felony. Nothing in 42.12 suggests a different length of supervision for a state jail felony deferred (unlike regular probation following conviction). You just have to trust me on this one. | |||

Im just looking for something I can point my judge to that makes this clear. There is case law however they are only unpublished opinions and are from 1999. | |||

What? Your judge wants something more than "JB says so"? | |||

I find it sad that so many judges are reluctant to accept the plain words of a statute. Particularly a statute that been in effect for 15 years. | |||
