Art. 12.06 . Texas Penal Code CCP. Art. 21.02 Washington plead guilty to the charge of aggravated assault with deadly weapon-family member. Plea was coerced by his retained attorney that the "judge would grant probation for a first time offender." That plea was before a sitting and sworn jury; double jeopardy had attached as he withdrew his plea with permission from judge. The jury was dismissed from all duties of the trial. A mistrial was declaréd; Washington entered a plea of guilty (again). This plea was unknowingly, unwillingly and involuntarily given, hence, the State's motion Requesting Designation of Issueszregarding IAC-ineffective assistance of counsel on guilty plea (October 14, 2015). No reply about motion received. The State's motion "Designation of Issues"
