TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

COMES NOW, PAUL EDWARD CHARBONNEAU

, Applicant and files

this his appeal from Cause Nos. 1216154 D out of Criminal Di strict Court No. 4

,

Tarrant County, Texas.2 ARGUMENT

I. Applicant was convicted under § 33.021 (f) as opposed to § 33.021 (b)

.

Applicant would like to clarify the arguments contained in his original

memorandum of law previously submitted to this Honorable Court. The original

brief discussed the fact that § 33.021 (b) has been declared unconstitutional.

Applicant was actually indicted for and convicted under §33.021(f) as

opposed to §33.021(b) . Applicant should still be entitled to relief from this

conviction because the text of §33.021(f) directly references §33.021(b) as a pre

requisite to obtain a conv iction for §33.021(f)

. Subsection (f) reads as follows:

“ An offense under Subsection (b) is a felony of the third degree, except that

the offense is a felony of the second degree if the minor is younger than 14 years of

age or is an individual whom the act or believes to be younger than 14 years of age

at the time of the commission of the offense. ”

Therefore §33.021(f) should be held to be unconstitutional on its face in

accordance with Ex Parte Lo , 424 S.W.3d 10 (Tex.Crim.App. 2013) and Ex Parte

Chance , No. WR

- 81,136

- 01 (Tex.Crim.App. May 7, 2014).

CONCLUSION AND PRAYER

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Applicant PAUL EDWARD

CHARBONNEAU prays this Honorable Court to set this matter for hearing and after3

a full review to remand the cause for the trial court so that this case may be disposed

of in accordance with this Court’s holdings in Ex Parte Lo

, for a termination of his

requirement to register as a sex offender, and for other such relief to which the

Applicant may show himself justly entit led.

Respectfully submitted,
