Edison v. State

Edison was adjudicated guilty of assault on a family member. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.01(a)(1) (Vernon Supp. 2007); Act of May 26, 1999, 76th Leg., R.S., ch. 1158, § 1, sec. 22.01(b)(2), 1999 Tex. Gen. Laws 4063 (amended 2005) (current version at Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.01(b)(2) (Vernon Supp. 2007)). Edison raises five issues for appellate review. He argues his sentence was not authorized by law; the trial court had no authority to defer adjudication and extend his community supervision for two years; the court had no authority to revoke his community supervision because it had expired as a matter of law; he was denied due process because he was convicted of a misdemeanor offense but he received a felony sentence; and the evidence was insufficient to support the enhancement allegations. Finding no merit in these issues, we affirm the trial courts judgment.
