Gerald Wayne Ford v. State Texas

On May 21, 1969, the appellant was found guilty of burglary with intent to commit theft. His punishment was assessed at a term of five years, probated. A condition of probation was that he commit no offense against the laws of this State or any other state. The appellant was given permission by the trial court to go to the State of Oklahoma. On July 12, 1971, an amended motion to revoke probation was filed. It alleged, among other things, that the appellant had violated the terms of his probation by committing the offense of theft in the State of Oklahoma. On November 5, 1971, the hearing on the motion to revoke was held.
