It is not a form. It is a section of the Texas Penal code, Section 12.44. There are 2 paragraphs (a) and (b). The most frequently used is (a) and therefore you also see it referred to as 1244A. It allows a judge the discretion to sentence someone who is guilty of a State Jail Felony to be punished as if he/she were guilty of a misdemeanor (i.e., serve the sentence in a county jail). The record will continue to show that the person was found guilty of a State Jail Felony. The difference is where their time will be served. It is usually part of a plea bargain, and is not used a lot.
