You may have to contact your local district attorney for this one. Different states have different "post-conviction relief" statutes where you may petition to have your sentence changed after imposed. Many judges will not change their sentencing once imposed because even if they want to, they really have no legal path to do so unless you first petition for post-conviction remedies. Post-conviction relief is usually relegated to just a very few specific grounds such as unconstitutionality of the sentence, factual innocence, or newly acquired evidence such as DNA. If the reverse happens, however, where a judge tries to increase your your sentence after a plea bargain for example, you may have no remedy other then a Federal Habeas Corpus (i.e. you must make it a federal case to make the judge abide by his own order).

What does recusive mean?
Recuse is what a judge does when he or she excuses himself or herself from hearing a case based on reasons that might prevent the judge from ruling impartially or just appear like he or she is ruling impartially. For example if a case involved a relative in some way, the judge should recuse himself or herself from hearing the case.
Can a judge change his judgment in Texas?
The answer depends on what type of court you are in. In child custody cases, for example, a judge may issue a new ruling. In criminal and civil cases, the judge's ruling is usually final. If one of the parties appeals the ruling, the appelate court has the option to remand the case back to the original judge. They do this in cases where they feel that the judge may have made an error in his initial ruling.
