Roy v. State

319 S.W.2d 705, 167 Tex. Crim. 307, 1958 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 3556

Opinions

WOODLEY, Judge.

The offense is passing as true a forged instrument; the punishment, two years.

Appellant, represented by counsel, waived a jury and pleaded guilty, and on the trial after the state had offered evidence sufficient to warrant her conviction, testified and admitted her guilt.

The requirements of the statute relating to trials of non-capital felony cases before the court on a plea of guilty were fully complied with.

The sole complaint appears to be that the trial judge did not see fit to grant probation.

The state correctly contends that this was a matter which rested solely in the discretion of the trial judge. Escobar v. State, 162 Texas Cr. Rep. 115, 282 S.W. 2d 873.

The judgment is affirmed.
