2Opinion of the Court · KeaslerKeasler, J.
The trial judge overruled Francis William Stringer’s Confrontation Clause objection to the admission of information about an extraneous, unadjudicated offense contained in the presentence investigation report. Stringer appealed, and the court of appeals held that Stringer’s written waiver of his right to confront and cross-examine witnesses pursuant to Article 1.15, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, which was made at the time of his guilty plea, applied to the punishment stage. 1 We disagree, reverse its judgment, and remand the case for further consideration.
