Art. 1.14. [11] [22] [23] WAIVER OF RIGHTS. (a) The
defendant in a criminal prosecution for any offense may waive any
rights secured him by law except that a defendant in a capital
felony case may waive the right of trial by jury only in the manner
permitted by Article 1.13(b) of this code.
(b) If the defendant does not object to a defect, error, or
irregularity of form or substance in an indictment or information
before the date on which the trial on the merits commences, he
waives and forfeits the right to object to the defect, error, or
irregularity and he may not raise the objection on appeal or in any
other postconviction proceeding. Nothing in this article prohibits
a trial court from requiring that an objection to an indictment or
information be made at an earlier time in compliance with Article
28.01 of this code.
