What happens when a written judgment differs from what the judge said in court in Texas?

Question

Accepted Answer

This question has been addressed in 4 Texas court opinion(s), including Bonilla v. Texas. A criminal judgment is a critical piece of evidence in family law; practitioners must verify that written judgments accurately reflect oral pronouncements and victim participation. Clerical errors, such as omitting a victim impact statement, can be weaponized by an opposing party to minimize a history of abuse during custody or divorce litigation, but such errors are reformable on appeal or via a motion nunc pro tunc.
