Tolefree v. State

Summary

The court affirmed denial of Tolefree’s habeas petition because he did not show that his judgment was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction. His challenges to the charging instrument, plea proceedings, and alleged constitutional or procedural violations were either nonjurisdictional, conclusory, or matters for trial or postconviction relief, and no hearing was required without a showing of probable cause. The court also denied his motion to file a belated reply brief because the reply could not change the disposition.
