Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Where a defendant pleads guilty to one indictment that misjoins a felony charge and two misdemeanor charges, he is not entitled to have his entire conviction declared void and be returned to a pre-plea status; he is entitled to relief only on the misjoined misdemeanor charges, because the district court did not have jurisdiction to accept a plea on them.
