Tex. R. App. P. 31.5
Judgment Conclusive
The court of appeals' judgment is final and
conclusive if the Court of Criminal Appeals does not
grant discretionary review. If the Court of Criminal
Appeals grants discretionary review, that court's
judgment is final and conclusive. In either case, no
further application in the same case can be made for
the writ unless the law provides otherwise.
History
Notes and Comments Comment to 1997 change: This is former Rule 44. Since the purpose of the appeal is to do substantial justice, it is extended to both parties in recognition that both parties now have the right to appeal. Other nonsubstantive changes are made. Comment to 2025 change: New Rule 31.8 is added to implement the amendments to Article 44.01 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
