Art. 25.03[0]. IF ON BAIL IN FELONY. When the accused, in case of felony, is on bail at the time the indictment is presented, it is not nessary to serve him with a copy, but the clerk shall on request deliver a copy of the same to the accused or his counsel, at the earliest possible time.

Acts 1965, 59th Leg., p. 317, ch. 722, Sec. 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1966.


If I understand this correctly, and it isn't very hard to understand, a defendant�s copy of an indictment shall be delivered to the attorney of the defendant. Is this correct? Or has something changed? My DA says that the indictment must be delivered ONLY to the defendant.

"accused or his counsel" means just that.
