Skinner v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• Because a Chapter 64 proceeding is filed after a conviction becomes final, a “criminal action” arising from the criminal prosecution “no longer exists.”
• “Our cases indicate that a ‘criminal action’ no longer exists after a defendant has been convicted and the direct appeal process from that conviction has been exhausted.”
• “Once general jurisdiction has expired, and absent direction from a higher court, a trial court can act only if, and to the extent, it is authorized to do so by a specific statutory source.”
