Asked 1/30/2016 – Dallas, TX

For a 3rd DWI felony case in Texas: For the past several court dates there were “pass slips” documents with the “Announcement” box checked and a continuance date and sometimes a plea offer. This time, the document was named “Jail Dispo”, the box “Discovery” was checked, and the following plea offer was written: “10/8 yrs + 10 cond. std DWI repeat offender +$2,000”.

Answer

A jail inmate has made a final disposition on his/her case as opposed to passing the case over to another court setting date.
