Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

A court of appeals' judgment reversing a sentence for manufacturing methamphetamine, imposed pursuant to a plea agreement, is reversed where: 1) the terms of the plea agreement at issue, including a six-week deferment of sentencing, covenants to appear at the sentencing hearing and not commit a criminal offense during the six-week period, and the potential consequences for breaching either covenant, were knowingly and voluntarily agreed upon by defendant and the state; and thus, 2) the plea agreement was enforceable and there was no cause to set it aside.
