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.
