Tex. R. App. P. 21.5
State May Controvert; Effect
The State may oppose in writing any reason the
defendant sets forth in the motion for new trial. The
State's having opposed a motion for new trial does not
affect a defendant's responsibilities under 21.6.
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 Paragraph (b)(6) of former Rule 30 is deleted because the rule- making authority of the Court of Criminal Appeals was withdrawn.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.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
