Hill v. State

OPINION

McCLUNG, Justice.

Jerry Hill appeals his conviction of burglary of a building. Hill maintains it was error for the trial court not to conduct a hearing on his competency prior to trial. We agree and abate the appeal.

Hill was indicted for burglary of a building. On August 20, 1986, he waived his right to trial by jury and entered a plea of guilty. The court, after finding the evidence supported a verdict of guilty, deferred adjudication and placed Hill on probation for a period of three years. In November of 1988, probation was revoked and Hill was sentenced to fifteen years’ confinement.
