Art. 27.05. [508] [572] [561] DEFENDANT'S SPECIAL PLEA. A
defendant's only special plea is that he has already been
prosecuted for the same or a different offense arising out of the
same criminal episode that was or should have been consolidated
into one trial, and that the former prosecution:
(1) resulted in acquittal;
(2) resulted in conviction;
(3) was improperly terminated; or
(4) was terminated by a final order or judgment for the
defendant that has not been reversed, set aside, or vacated and that
necessarily required a determination inconsistent with a fact that
must be established to secure conviction in the subsequent
prosecution.
