L.M. v. State Texas

L. M. is charged with the murder of 68-year-old Estanislado Zaragosa, at a time when L. M. was fifteen years and five months of age. She appeals from a judgment in which the juvenile court, sitting without a jury, waived its exclusive original jurisdiction and transferred her case to district court. The appellant contends that the juvenile court did not comply with the mandatory provisions of Section 54.02(d), Texas Family Code, in that the diagnostic study it ordered was so incomplete as to be invalid and that the evidence adduced at the certification hearing was legally or factually insufficient under Section 54.02 to support the order of waiver and transfer. We affirm.
