Moore v. State - 2nd COA
A trial court may not impose a sentence in excess of a plea-bargained
punishment without allowing the defendant to withdraw his guilty plea
when the defendant fails to return to court for sentencing after
pleading guilty. The trial court may not impose a higher punishment because the plea
bargain did not include an agreement to convert the plea to an open
plea if the defendant did not appear for sentencing. The trial court
may not impose a non-negotiated term on the plea bargain.
