Ex parte Green

In Ex parte Green, 688 S.W.2d 555 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985), the Court noted that, for time credit purposes, the legislature did not intend any difference in the treatment of those initially detained as juveniles and those detained as adults. The Court stated, "We do not think that in enacting Article 42.03, 2(a) the Legislature intended that an individual initially detained as a juvenile and later certified an adult, then prosecuted and sentenced accordingly, should be treated any differently than one who is initially detained as an adult." Green, 688 S.W.2d at 557.
