Weir v. State - 3rd COA
The trial court's omission of restitution and court costs from the oral pronouncement of sentence bar the court from ordering in the written judgment that the defendant pay restitution and court costs. Restitution and court costs are punishment, so they must be included in
the oral pronouncement of sentence to be properly included in the
written judgment. However, appointed attorney's fees are not a
sentencing issue and need not be pronounced orally to be properly
included in the written judgment. Weir v. State, 03-07-00083-CR.
