Results: Felony Jury Trials
William B. Mange Has Tried
For cases numbered 1 through 67, you have the full cause number and the Defendant's full name. For those cases, you can look up the Court's file and verify for yourself that what is written here is accurate. For cases numbered 68 through 82, to protect my client's anonymity, I have given my client's initials and only part of the cause number. You can verify what I say by looking in the Travis County District Clerk's Office, unless otherwise noted. All cases are felony jury trials, unless otherwise noted.
Results noted here do not guarantee results in other cases. The outcome of any individual case depends on the facts and law in that case.

| 82 | Yes. Range of punishment was 2-20 years in prison. State asked Judge to assess the maximum years in prison. Because of client's felony record (5 prison or State Jail Facility convictions), he was not eligible for probation. So I asked for a sentence toward the minimum.
