I guess the Legislature was wrong when it said in connection with HB1713: " Under current law, applications for writs of habeas corpus by persons placed on community supervision can only be processed if the applicant is confined." It appears relief was available under 11.08 all along. Kniatt, No. 10-03-199-CR (01/05/05). My judge pretty routinely revokes (increases) bail even though the record fails to reveal any history of the defendant's failing to appear in court as directed (e.g., for failure to hire counsel or evidence of drug abuse). Perhaps that will change. Anyone think Kniatt was pressured into pleading guilty any more than the average person unable to post bail? Should there be a time limitation on when one can challenge the voulntariness of a guilty plea? I am hoping Ellis County will challenge Justice Vance on this one.
