James v. State - 3rd COA

The defendant's guilty plea to sexual assault of a child should not be overturned because the trial court failed to admonish that he would have to register as a sex offender under CCP art. 26.13(a)(5) [1]. By amending CCP art. 26.13(h) to expressly provide that failure to admonish is not a ground to set aside a conviction, sentence, or plea, the legislature foreclosed any relief for the defendant. James v. State, 03-07-00487-CR.
