OBJECTION TO CHARGING INSTRUMENT.
Verbatim from the official edition
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
If the defendant does not object to a defect, error, or irregularity of form or substance in a charging instrument before the date the trial on the merits begins, the defendant waives and forfeits the right to object to the defect, error, or irregularity. This article does not prohibit a trial court from requiring that an objection to a charging instrument be made at an earlier time.
