Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

In a criminal case involving a plea to organized criminal activity wherein the trial court failed to admonish appellant of the deportation consequences of his plea, a court of appeals decision holding that a trial court's failure to correctly admonish defendant was harmful error, and remanding the case, is affirmed where the court of appeals performed a proper analysis of the record to determine whether appellant was harmed by the trial court's error, and its decision to reverse and remand was proper.
