Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Where a trial court orally rules that a defendant's sentence will be served concurrently with another case and the defendant starts to serve that sentence, but the judgment, signed more than one month later, orders the defendant's sentence to be served consecutively, the defendant's due process rights have been violated and the written judgment must be corrected to conform with the oral pronouncement.
