Article 380 - Sentencing in General
380.60 - Authority for the Execution of Sentence.


Except where a sentence of death is pronounced, a sentence and
commitment or certificate of conviction showing the sentence pronounced
by the court, or a certified copy thereof, constitutes the authority for
execution of the sentence and serves as the order of commitment, and no
other warrant, order of commitment or authority is necessary to justify
or to require execution of the sentence.
