History

Notes and Comments Comment to 1997 change: Former Rules 30, 31, and 32 are merged. Paragraph (b)(6) of former Rule 30 is deleted because the rule- making authority of the Court of Criminal Appeals was withdrawn. See Code of Criminal Procedure article 40.001. Other nonsubstantive changes are made.
