Description

Appellant was indicted for aggravated robbery. See V.T.C.A. Penal Code, Â§ 29.02. He pled guilty before a Dallas County Magistrate and was sentenced by the District Court to twelve years confinement in the Texas Department of Corrections. On appeal to the Dallas Court of Appeals, the conviction was affirmed. Howard v. State, 667 S.W.2d 265 (Tex.App. Dallas - 1984). We granted appellants petition for discretionary review to determine whether the trial court and the Dallas Court of Appeals correctly interpreted Art. 1918c, V.A.C.S., entitled the "Dallas County Magistrates Act" to permit a magistrate to preside at a hearing on a plea of guilty when the parties have not agreed to the punishment to be assessed.
