Kirkpatrick v. State
The district court did have subject-matter jurisdiction of forgery-related offenses when the offenses were charged as misdemeanors. Although the indictment properly charged a misdemeanor but lacked an element necessary to charge a felony, the defendant potentially could have been charged with a felony offense and the indictment's return in a felony court put the defendant on notice that the State intended to charge a felony offense. Kirkpatrick v. State - PD-0873-07.
