TO THE SAID HONORABLE COURT;
      Now comes Willie Henry, III, Relator files pro se, and ask
leave of court to file an original petition with the Court of
Criminal Appeals for a writ of mandamus, and would show the
Court the following;
                                 I.
                           Jurisdiction
      This Honorable Court has jurisdiction to review the order

and judgment from the 252nd District Court of Jefferson, coun

-ty, Texas under TX. Const. Art. V § V; TX. Govt. Code § 22.
221(b)(1). Mandamus is availbeto correct a trial court's

deprivation of Fundamental Constitutional Rights.           A relator

who demonstrates that the order or judgment challenged is
void need not demonstrate that remedy by appeal is inadequate

                                II.
                        Extraordinary Case
      This is an extraordinary case that requires the Court of

Criminal Appeals to exercise original jurisdiction because:
1. The deferred Adjudication order from cause no. 98575 is

                               1 of 4
void because the Relator was denied his right to trial by jury.fh
waiver was involuntarily and unintelligently given. Brady v. U.S.

2.Relator was denied his Fundamental Right to Effective Assist-
   ance of Counsel, where the trial court failed to inquire into
   a conflict of interest which was before it.
3.Trial court abused its discretion when i~revoked probation
   from a void order.
4.trial court abused its discnetion when it ruled without sup-
   porting evidence. The plea nor the purported judicial confess~n
   ion are valid due to IAC and ambiguity in plea agreement since
   the vital SBI element was concealed from plea agreement.

                                   III.
                      Ministerial Duty of Respondent

   On the 1st day of October, 2007, The Honorable Judge Layne

Halker was the duly qualified and acting ju.dge of the 252nd Crim-

inal District Court of Jefferson County, TX. for cause no. 98575

styled, State of Texas v. Willie Henry,III, and entered an impro-

per and void order to wit:

1. On August     27,200~,the    trial court received the plea agreement

   with attached waivers and stipulations and ordered a PSI and

    reset until Oct.1, 2007.In the report, it was made known that

    there was a conflict of interest between defendant and his
                                                                             \.

   attorney. Triaililcounsel told dfendant that he could not have

    representation in a jury trial without more money even though

    defendant wanted jury trial.          (R.R. v.5,p.14)      (Relator's only

    other copy of Psi was served          previou~ly    to parties and court)

      Respondent had an independent duty to ensure a fair trial by

inquiring into the conflict of interest and a duty to protect the

defendant's right to trial by jury, but failed in that duty.

2.Respondent committed a fundamentally unfair act in accepting an

  involuntary plea and inadmissible evidence of the judicial con-

  fession, which was not intelligently entered, nor was it vol-

                                     2 of 4
untarily given. Because the plea papers omit the essential el

-ement of serious bodily injury and that element was not con-

tained in the original indictment, the defendant was denied

actual notice of the accusations against him and the judicial

admission was mistakenly given since serious bodily injury

did not take place. The trier of fact could not have found

all of the essential elements to have been proven beyond a

reasonable doubt. V.T.C.A. § C.C.P.Art.       1.15; P.C.§2.01

3. Relator has been deprived of liberty without due process

   of law which renders order and judgment void.        _In re

                             IV.
         Petitioner has no Adequate Remedy by Appeal

1. My trial lawyer abandoned me immediately after the Oct.1

   2007 sentencing. I addressed the issue in Habeas Corpus

  in writ 73,015-01. (Do not have a copy) However,        even

  though my trial attorney states in his affidavit in the

  proceeding that he had no further obligation to me, the

  habeas court never addressed the issue and failed to grant

  relief by out of time appeal.        (This court has a copy of

  that affidavit but I was not served one by attorney)

2.I have filed mandamus in the 9th Coa but argued wrong due

  to the fact that I've had no actual assistance for a mean-

  ingful review, which is   supposed~     to be a Constitutional

  Right, I've been barred from presenting another mandamus

  to that COA.   (09-13-00195-CR) May 8, 2013

  for raising IAC of trial counsel Only. -Issue is not a

ask this Court to reset the time table to file for out of

                        STATEMENT OF THE CASE

    This case is from the 252nd Criminal District Court, where

 the Relator was granted 3 years deferred adjudication for the

 offense of aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury to

 Barbara Wherry-Dean. The court adjudicated guilt and sentenced

 Relator to 18 years TD6J and he is serving that sentence in the

 Wynne Unit, huntsville, TX.

    Trial counsel abandonded relator after deferred adjudication

 and failed to file motion for new trial during 30 days after the

 deferred adjudication granted. After guilt was adjudicated, the

 court appointed Doug Barlow for appeal but he too, failed to

 file motion for new trial nor even speak or communicate with the

 Relator after appointed. Relator's family hired Mr. hugh o'Fiel

 after the 30 days passed to file motion for new trial and Mr.

 O'Fiel, filed appeal in the 9th Coa, but on non reviewable issue

 of ineffective assistance of counsel at trial and conviction was

affirmed instead of dismissed.

    Relator filed habeas corpus under 11.07 but relief was denied

 by courts.   (Pro Se) Relator has also filed pro se for Mandamus

 relief in the 9th COA but did not know how to describe the duty

which was ministerial and Mandamus was denied. Now he comes fil-

 ing pro se in the CCA and does believe that he has now adequately

 stated the ministerial duties of the court, and shows that the

 order for deferred adjudication should be deemed void due to an

 involuntary waiver to jury trial.

                     PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

To The Honorable Judges of Said Court:
      Now comes Willie Henry, III, files pro se this application
for Writ of Mandamus and complaining of the 252nd criminal
district court of the state of Texas, jefferson County, respon-
dent, and would show the following:
                                  I .

      On the 1st day of October 2007, Honorable layne Walker was
the duly qualified and acting Judge of the 252nd Criminal Court

of Jefferson County, texas, and on said date in cause No. 98575
styled the State of Texas v. Willie Henry, III entered an impro-
per and void order to wit:
   Respondent failed in its duty to protect defendant's Fundamen-
tal Constitutional rights to a fair and impartial trial by jury
and due process. He failed to properly admonish the Defendant of
his right to trial by jury, right to assistance of counsel at a
trial by jury, right against self-incrimination, and his right
to notice
 The Reporter's record will show that at the time that the
Defendant's plea was entered, the trial court knew or should
have known that the Defendant's waiver to his Constitutional
Right of a trial by jury was involuntary and given unintelli-
gently due to counsel's refusal to allow Defendant to exer-
cise his Right to a trial by jury so that he could prove his
innocence. Although Respondent had evidence before him that
reasonably and fairly raised an issue of fact as to innocence
of the Defendant, of the offense of aggravated assault          caus~

ing serious bodily    injury~      and Respondent had a duty to with-
draw the nolo contendere plea on its own motion.
 The Respondent's failure to perform its independent duty to
inquire into an obvious conflict of interest which was be-
fore the ,trial court resulted in the Defendant being        ~mpelled

into a plea agreement and waivers of Federal and State Consti
-tutional Rights which he did not want to waive.
                                     II.

   Said order of Respondent was improper and void for the fol

-lowing reasons:

 An involuntary waiver of the right to a jury trial renders
a judgment void. Caldwell.v .. Thaler 1 _770.F •. Supp •. 2d 1 849;

                                    III.

  The acts required of the Respondent are ministerial in

nature and are not subject to the discretion of the Respond-

ent. Namely: Protect Defendant's Fundamental Constitutional

Rights and properly admonish defendant to make sure that the

plea is really voluntarily and knowingly entered.Y.T.A.C.C.P.

art •. 26.13 The trial court must properly admonish defendant

concerning consequences of plea and must determine voluntari-

ness of the plea and such responsibility cannot be shifted to

counsel.Waivers also must be voluntary and given intelligent~
ly, to comply with due process. U.S.C.A. amnds. 6,14;Tx. Cons

  Petitioner has no right of appeal from the actions of the

Respondent and has no adequate remedy at law other than a

Writ of Mandamus as prayed for herein.

1. My trial lawyer abandoned me after the original deferred

      adjudication sentence. I filed this as ground in 11.07(73

      015-01) trial counsel's affidavit stated that he had no

      obligation to me after deferred adjudication, which is

      not correct according to art. 26.04, but the habeas court

      failed to address the ground. in which case, had they

      addressed it, I could have then filed a motion for new

      trial and had a full and fair hearing.

2. I have filed mandamus in the Ninth court of Appeals but

      argued Hrong because I've had no assistance at all, and

      now that court says that I can't bring another petition.

      (09-13-00195-CR) may 8, 2013

3. Appeal lawyer after adjudication of guilt was ineffective

      for raising IAC at trial which could not be raised on an

      appeal. He didn't raise these important issues, nor did he

      at any time contact me or file a motion for new trial.

The motions and orders involved are marked as Exhibits A thro

  Wherefore premises considered, Petitioner prays that leave

to file this petition be granted, that the same be set for

submission, and that a Writ of Mandamus be issued by the Court

ordering and directing the Respondent to set aside order and

judgment of conviction, and declaring it as void and a nullity.

  In the alternative I ask this Court to reset the time table

to file for out of time appeal and file motion for a new trial 0'

                          ISSUES PRESENTED

The Trial court neglected its duty pursuant to TX. C.C.p. art.
2.03~b);   art. 1.05, to ensure a fair trial and protect the
Fundamental Rights of the accused even after a conflict of
interest was brought to the court's attention in the PSI.

   Relator brought to the attention of the court that he was
now indigent Oat the stage of jury trial.) and that counsel
refused to allow him to go to trial by jury if he didn't
come up with more money. 1Reporter's Record V. 5, P.14)

   That neglect of duty caused the following:
   1. An involuntary waiver to trial by jury tvoids order)
   2. Deprivation of Fundamental Right to Counsel
   3. Acceptance of an involuntary nolo plea to an offense
      which the vital element of serious bodily injury was
      concealed from him in the plea papers and was added to
      the indictment after the plea papers were already signed,
      depriving Relator of his Fundamental Due Process Right
      to ..,~-true and adequate notice of accusations.
   4. Admittance into evidence, an inadmissible judicial con-
      fession which was given by mistake. It omitted the
      ~ssential element necessary for conviction.
      ~Does not support finding of guilt. C.C.P. art. 1.15)

                         STATEMENT OF FACTS

   In the July term of 2005, the grand jury indicted Willie

Henry, III, for the offense of sexual assault (P.C. § 22.011(E)

and Mr. Audwin Samuel was retained as defense counsel, given a

list of defense witnesses and contact information which he        nev~

er attempted to contact. According to the records of the clerk,

a re-indictment was issued in September, 20DG, but Henry was

not informed. (Exhibit   f\-'b,q)   In August 2007, when getting to

the courthouse Mr. Samuelinforms his client that they are set

to pick a jury the next morning of August 28, 2007. Then he
informs Henry that if he can't come up with another $3,500.00

                                     5
if he wants a jury trial, then he will have to agree to a plea

deal for the lesser-included offense. After making phone calls to

try to raise the money but failing, he was told he has no choice

but to sign a plea deal. Henry asked his attorney to try to get

the trial reset so he could come up   ~ith   the money and Mr. Samuel

told him that he would go ask but that henry could not come in

the courtroom with him. A few moments later, counsel returned but

told him that the Judge refused to reset.

   Henry was told by his attorney to not say anything to the Judg

but only answer what the Judge asks, or this Judge will just

sentence you to the max of 20 years. Therefore, Henry tells the

interviewer during the PSI what had taken place between his attar

-ney and himself.   (Ran out of mon,y but wanted a jury trial and

that he was innocent of charges) R.R. v. 5,p.14 and PSI

   The case was reset for sentencing on Oct.      1,2007 and the court

accepted the plea agreement and sentenced him to 3 years deferred

adjudication without inquiring about voluntariness of waivers or

into conflict of interest. (Exhibit          ) R.R. v.3

   In 2009 , on January 12th,    probation was revoked and guilt

adjudicated and defendant sentenced to 18 years TDCJ- Institu-

tional Division. R.R. v. 5,p. 17
                        Aurguments to Support Claim

   The Respomdent on October 1,2007, issued an order for a

deferred adjudication pursuant to a plea bargain agreement

which contained involuntary waiver to a trial by jury. The

trial court knew or should have known that the waiver to a

trial by jury was given involuntarily by the defendant.

See:   Exhibit-~,Q__~\(._5,'·~1nd   PSI which this court has a copy.

   The trial      cou~t   had a mandatory duty to inquire into a

conflict of interest but did not. Due to this failure to               per~

form its mandatory duty, the defendant was forced to forego

his right to a jury trial, which is a Fundamental Right under

Due Process. This Honorable Court has the power under the

TX. Constitution Art. V.§V to issue mandamus to correct the

trial court's deprivation of fundamental constitutional right

In_re_Vernor,-94-S.W. 3d,_201

  Although the trial court knew, as is evidenced by the repor

-ter's transcript in Vol. 5, P.            14, that the only reason that

defendant entered the plea and bargain agreement was because

he became indigent at the point and stage of trial by jury.

Mr. Samuel refused to allow a jury trial if he wasn't giVen

more money immediately. He (Mr. Samuel) did not tell defen-

dant that he had other options, such as asking the court to

appoint counsel for a jury trial.             Had defendant been   inform~

ed of that right, instead of being told that he had no choice

if he didn't have the additional money, defendant would not

have waived his right to trial by jury. This is an obvious

conflict of interest that the Respondents knew about.
"While guaranteeing defendant's right to attorneys of their
choosing, Sixth Amendment also entitles defendants to rep-
resentation by an attorney unfettered by any conflict of inte

counsel, unless after inquiry, the court believes that a con-
flict of interest is unlikely to arise.
U.S. v._Combs,.222.F.3d,-353

   In this present case before the court, the defendant did

not want to waive the conflict of interest, but rather, was

told he had no choice. he thought that's the way the law

works, therefore he brought it up in the PSI hoping the court

would do something about it. Now he has found out that that

was a choice to be made by himself and not dictated by trial

   Not only did Mr.   Samu~l   disallow the defendant the right

to a jury trial but he also gave mis-information which made

the waiver involuntary and unintelligently given.

1. Mr. Samuel told defendant that the offense of aggravated

   assault was the lesser-included offense of sexual assault.

   that information was incorrect. The State actually asked

   that the original indictment be amended after the plea

   agreement was already signed. That amendment substantially

   charged another offense other than the grand jury charge.

   When a charge has been substantially amended from the

   charges contained in the original indictment, and the

   statute of limitations has expired, then it is barred.

   Hernandez_v._ST.,.127-S.W.-3d 1 .768;_V.T.A.C.C.P._art._12 ..

   . 01; .12.05B In this case, aggravated assault had a 3 year

limitation, art.12.01(6). The indictment alleges offense in
   May 2000, but the date of amendment is August, 27, 2007.
Had that been revealed at_the time then defendant would not

have entered the plea deal or plea.

2. The plea agreement did not contain the vital element of

   serious bodily injury.   (Did not occur). By the State

   failing to disclose _that necessarry elment and chose to

   rather conceal it, defendant was denied true notice of

   the allegations against him. By not informing of the ele-

   ment before the plea hearing, defendant was prejudiced by

   being denied his opportunity to present a defense and to

   make the State prove Serious Bodily injury, which it could

   not have proven since it didn't transpire nor was it com-

   plained of by the alleged victim. the State acted arbitra-

   rily and unreasonably by waiting until after the agreement

   was signed to then add an element to the charging instru-

   ment without any warning whatsoever . . U.S •. v._Abernathy,

83_F.3d.17,19.(1996);_Henderson_v .. Morgan,_    ... U.S •. _ .. ,_96

s._CT •. 2253 The defendant in this present case did not have

a true understanding of the nature of the accusations against

him because nobody explained to him that serious bodily inj-

ury means''·· .injury that creates a   ~ubstantial   risk of death

or that causes death, serious permanent disfigurement, or

protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily

member or organ. V.T.C.A. Penal Code §1.07(a)(46).None of

these things happened but without this court ordering an

evidentiary hearing the only thing which can be shown is the

elements of SBI were not entered into evidence. The alleg-

ed judicial confession omits the SBI element. A judicial
admission that omits an element is not sufficient and a
judicial admission must be clear and unequivocal, contained

in the live pleading and not given by mistake. It is clear

that the defendant was not aware of the SBI element before

the plea hearing since it was not contained in the original

'live pleading' nor was it brought to his attention in the

plea papers. The judicial confession is invalid to support

the conviction.

3. The trial court had a duty to withdraw the nolo plea on

   its own motion because there is nothing at all entered

   into evidence to prove the alleged victim suffered any

   serious bodily injury. C.C.P.art. 1.15; Sanchez v. St.,32

   S.W. 3d, 701; Sanchez v. St., 543 S.W. 2d, 132

4. Had the trial court just did its job and admonished the
   the defendant all of this could and would have been     avoid~

  ed because   d~fendant   would have elected to go to trial by

   jury. He was not aware that entering the plea bargain

  waived his right to make the State prove the allegations.

   It was his understanding that the judge would look at the

   evidence in a fair manner and that the State had to offer

   proof beyond a reasonable doubt. It would have been impos-

   sible for the State to prove SBI. It is against all the

   principles of justice to hold a person knowing that he was

   forced to admit to something that did not transpire. When

   the plea, waivers, and plea agreement were not knowingly,
                                              l>
   voluntarily, and intelligently entered a-nd- are inadmissible.

   as evidence and violates due process.

                                  \D
5. The waivers in this case were signed without a recommend-

   ed punishment to be imposed if guilt was adjudicated and

  are not voluntarily entered. Had trial counsel not aban-

   doned his client after the deferred adjudication order the

   defendant would have elected (if properly informed) to

   file a motion to adjudicate guilt and file motion for a

  new trial within 30 days. Because trial counsel abandoned

   defendant, as attested to in his affidavit (73,015-01) he

   has been denied any meaningful review on appeal and denied

   counsel during the time to file a motion for a new trial.

6. The Respondent was prohibited from accepting the nolo plea

   which it knew or should have knor.rn was involuntary.(£..)(.   \f.5 P-\4)
   "the Constitution forbids acceptance of a guilty(nolo)
    plea to a criminal offense unless that plea is entered
    both voluntarily and knowingly." Diaz v. Martin, 718 F.
    2d, 1372 (5th cir)
7. Relator believes he has shown that the waiver(s) were not

   voluntary nor intelligent. Where that is the case, the

   Courts of appeals have stated that the judgment is renderea

   void. State v. Vasquez, 140 S.w.3d, 758,59; Michigan v.

   Jackson, 475 U.S. 633, 106 S. CT. 1404; U.S.C.A. amend. 6;

   Tx. Const. art. 1 § 15 Vacating a void order is a minister

   -ial duty. Ex rel   Bill~Hill   v. COA 5th district, 34 S.W.3d

   924, 927 Relator believes he is entitled to vacation of

   order and entitled to remand to the trial court to answer

   original indictment.

                                   \\
                                SUMMARY

      the trial court shifted its responsibility to ensure a fair

trial entirely to counsel,    (R.R. v.2,p2)asking if counsel explain

-ed     the admonishments which were not signed in open court; but

fails to admonish and ensure that defendant understood his right

to jury trial if desired, right against      self-incrimination~which

there was no explicit waiver contained in plea papers), and chose

not to inquire if the plea was truly given because defendant was

in fact guilty.

      Once the trial court received the PSI it should have withdrawn

the plea on its own motion. Sancbez       ~St.~   5~3   S.W. 2d, 132

then the trial court was obligated to conduct inquiry into what

it should have reasonably inferred may have been a conflict of

interest after reading in the report that defendant denied commit

-ing the offense but ran out of money to pay counsel for repre-

sentation for a jury trial. When the defendant was asked if he

entered his plea on his own free choice,      (R.R. v.2,p.2), that

answer was based upon misinformation relayed to him by his att-

orney and the failure to apprise him of the SBI element namely:

1.that he had to have more mon~y to exercise the right to jury
  trial.
2.That the nolo plea was not in any way admitting guilt
3.That the plea deal charged him with alesser-included offense
  of sexual assault as alleged in the grand jury indictment in
  cause no.86400(never told he was reindicted on(98575~
4.The failure to apprise defendant of the SBI element from or by
  any source pr~or to the plea hearing. Miller v_ Champion~ 161
  F.3d 12~9~50

      Relator contends that after receiving and reviewing the PSI,

any reasonable trier of fact would necessarily have a question

as to the voluntariliness of the constitutionally waived rights

                                   \~
and the actuai voluntariliness of the plea, which would warrant a
further inquiry by the Respondent. C.C.P. arts§ 1.05, 2.03; TX.
Code of Judicial Conduct Canon 2A, 3B(2)   ,3D~2);   U.S.C.A. 6, 14

   Because the purported judicial admission omits the SBI element
and that element was not included in the grand jury's original in

-dictment, which was the 'live pleading' at the time that the
admission was signed, the Respondent could not have found the
d~fendant   guilty of committing every essential element of p.C §

22.02 aggravated assault with SBi beyond a reasonable doubt. P.C.
§ 2.01; U.S.c.A. amend. 14; C.C.P. art.§ 1.15        the trial court
had no factual basis for the acceptance of the plea. fffiire is
nothing in the record to support a finding of SBI as defined in
TX. P.c. § 1.07 (a)(46). As a crucial matter of fact, if this
Honorable Court will order the Suate to turn over the complaint
of the alleged victim, mrs. Barbara Wherry-dean, it       ~ill   find
that no such claim of SBI was made under oath, and will show

Prosecutorial misconduct by Mr. Perry Thomas by charging the

defendant with an offense that he knew was not supported by
probable cause or by oath from complainant.

  My name is Willie Henry, III, and I am over the age of 18 years
of age and I am competent to give the following statements. I am
currently incarcerated at the Wynne Unit Pr&son, Huntsville, TX.
My TDC # is 1550834. I am being held illegally.
  In September around the 1st, I retained Mr. Audwin Samuel to
represent me in cause no. 86400 from Jefferson County, Texas, in
the 252nd district court.
1. I told my attorney that I was not guilty when he discussed the
      indictment in cause no. 86400.
2. I told him that I wanted a trial by jury and he gave me a fee
      of $1,500.00, and later went up to $1,900.00.       1
3. I was never told about the reindictment under 98575. See the
      exhibits attached to 'the affidavit as proof that I never saw
  nor signed any of the resetting sheets and that as late as May
      2007, in his motion to withdraw, he was still using 86400 no.
      which the clerk of the court had to correct.
4. Afirer. the motion to withdraw was filed ( Hhich he didn't send
      me a copy until the weekend before the hearing; he decided
      not to *ithdraw because I gave him what he said I owed him.
5. On the scheduled date of trial, he told me 'that I had to
      pay him another $3,500.00 immediately or I could not have
      a trial by jury as I requested. But I was told that I coilild
      not say anything to the judge about it. So, I told the PSI
      interviewer.
6. I asked about bringing witnesses in my favor but was told
      the judge is not going to allow me any witnesses.
7. I was told that aggravated assault was the lesser-included
      offense of sexual assault under P.C. § 22.011(E)
8. No one nor anything apprised me of the serious bodily ~lement
      of aggravated assaul-t. Had I knovm and was given a choice I
      would not have agreed to enter the agreement or plea.
9. I was never warned about my right to not give evidence against
      myself.
10.    ~vhenI signed the form stating that I was or had, commit ted
       every element alleged in the charging instrument, that did
not include, nor was it meant to include serious bodily injury,
because the only indictment ever discussed with me was the in-
dictment that was labeled as count II.     (attached to this affida-
vit/unsworn declaration)
11. The courtroom was locked and closed to anyone entering ex-
    cept my attorney, myself, reporter for court, and district
    attorney. it was not a public trial at all.
12. I did not understand that I did not have to     wa~ve   my consti-
    tutional rights just because I became indigent. I never wishe
    to do so at all but was tolfi I had no choice without money.

  Every statement contained herein is trua and correct and given
by my personal knowledge. I have read the petition and certify
that all factual statements are supported by competent evidence
in the appendix or record. I declare under the penalty of perjury
that the   statement~   are true and signed by me this-the 25th day
of August, 2015.

 9   any comments?

10                    MR.   LAINE:       Yes   1    Your Honor.              Mr. Henry•s

11   case was transferred to Denton County.                             He had a sex

12 offender assessment.          That assessment concluded with

13 classes that he was required to go to.                               He began his

14 reporting to the probation department once a month and
15 then twice a month with home visits every other Monday.
16 Once he got there/ he went to the end of April class
17 for the offender -- he went to the May 8th class/ then
18 he went to his May 16th class there.                             That class was

19 with the victim           well   1   with Courtney Smith 1 who is

20   the counselor.     May 16th they said we are going to

21 pause your classes for a polygraph                               which is part of

22   the program

23                    THE COURT:        Let me interrupt you.                    Is

24   Courtney Smith here?

25                    MR.   THOMAS:      The probation officer from

 1   Denton County?

 2                    THE COURT:        Yes.

 3                    MR.    THOMAS:     No.     They -- they are willing

 4   to come if the Court would want to hear

 5                    THE COURT:       No.      I was just wondering.       I

 6   didn't mean to interrupt you.

 7                    MR.    LAINE:     So,    May 16th was   hi~    last

 8   class with Ms.    Smith.     Then he had to go get a

 9   polygraph.     The polygrap.h was taken,         I   think,    the

10   30th of May.     Right after       --    I'm sorry to put this in

11 chronological order, Your Honor; but it kind of leads
12 up to how this outburst came about.                May 30th is when

13   he took the polygraph.           His probation officer here said

14   report back -- report back to his classes.                He had

15 called -- and we got the phone records, Your Honor,
16 just because we wanted the Court to know he really
17 was -- he's been reporting every time that the officer

18 has wanted to know where he was.                They knew where he

19 was.

20                           He had actually reported and called

21   after he had the polygraph.              He called the 2nd of July,

22   the 3rd of July,       the 14th of July,       the 16th of July,

23   five times on the 20th of July.              What was happening

24 was, I think Ms. Smith was busy with her classes and
25 wasn't getting back with -- with Mr. Henry.                     And

                            SUMMER TANNER, CSR, RPR
                              252nd District Court
                                                                                 6

 1   Mr. Henry was steady calling Brian back here; and Brian

 2   was saying,        you are lying.      You are not calling her.

 3   You are not getting back with the results of the

 4   polygraph from Ms.         Smith.

 5                             Well, Ms.    Smith,    at the very

 6 beginning of their relationship, their counselling, she
 7   said,   I   am a    "B" and I am always going to be a            "B" and

 8   that•s how you have to take me.

 9                             Well,   on July 20th,       he left messages

10   and said,     I know you said you are going to be a· "B" and

11   I think you are a         "B, " because you are going to get

12   your -- you are getting me in trouble with my probation

13 officer down in Beaumont because he thinks I am lying.
14 I took the polygraph.               I am trying to get you the

15 results so I can steady go back to my                   classe~.

16                             So, Your Honor,       what he said on those

17 recordings is totally inappropriate.                    He had surgery to

18 his hand, and he was on medication                      prescribed.     And

19 he shouldn • t. have called her a "B" the number of times
                                           '
20   he did.      He•s been in jail for three months,               Your

21 Honor.        We would ask you sanction him,             make him stay

22   another three months in jail.               There•s no new offenses.

23   He is a medium risk,         according to the report.

24                       THE COURT:      Okay.      Mr.   Thomas?

 1   Mr.   Diaz was able to e-mail the calls to the Court or

 2 not.      'I have them on a CD,        if the Court wants to hear

 3   them.     I had an opportunity to hear the calls he

 4                       THE COURT:      I want to play them.

 5                       MR.   THOMAS:    If you will give me a break,

 6   I will get a player down here; and I will I play them

 7   for you.

 8                       THE COURT:      You bet.     Before we get to

 9 that point, what will I hear?                 Whenever I hear these

10 CDs, what am I going to hear?
11                       THE DEFENDANT:      I know,    Your Honor,   I    us~d

12   the "B" word.

13                      THE COURT:       Okay.

14                      THE DEFENDANT:       I did tell her to quit

15   lying on me.

16                      THE COURT:       Okay.

17                      THE DEFENDANT:       And 1n all honesty,      I

19 l;appened was

20                      THE COURT:       Had you been drinking or

21   smoking or anything?

22                      THE DEFENDANT:       No.     I was on the

 1     remember the conversation.                                  My wife,    who is here today,

 2     walked in and told me what comments I made.                                        And

 3     immediately when she made me aware of it,                                     I did call

 4     Ms.       Courtney -- I                forgot her last name.                I did call

 5     Ms.       Courtney back,                and I did apologize to her --

 6                                   THE COURT:               Uh-huh.

 7                                   THE DEFENDANT:                  -- and ask her --

 8                                   THE COURT:                So,   I'm going to hear that you

 9     called her the "B" word.                                I will hear that you did

10     what?

11                                   THE DEFENDANT:                  Told her to stop lying on

12     me.       And my wife just told me I used quite a bit of

13 profanity, which anyone who knows me know I don't use
14    profanity whatsoever.

15                                   THE COURT:               Am I going to hear any hatred?

16                                   THE DEFENDANT:                  I    -- honestly,

21     wife did tell me it was awful,                                    and that's why I picked

22     up the phone and apologized to her.

23                                  THE COURT:                If you would,       would you

 2                            And she used other profanity -- which

 3   I shouldn't have allowed myself to stoop to the same

 4   level,   and I was wrong.          I do·apologize to you and this

 5   Court,   as well --

 6                    THE COURT:        Let me ask --

 7                    THE DEFENDANT:              what I did to

 8   Ms .. Courtney

 9                    THE COURT:              you a question:        Did you

10 only do two years in college study in psychology, or do
11   you have more psychological training than that?

12                    THE DEFENDANT:           I was in my third year at

13   UTA.

14                    THE COURT:        So,    you had three years of

15 studying psychology?
16                    THE DEFENDANT:           Yes,    sir.

17                    THE COURT:        And then you said you were a

18 minister?

19                    THE DEFENDANT:           Yes,    sir.

20                    THE COURT:        Okay.     And the offense that

21 you are here for is aggravated assault, and that was                        --

22 the child was how old?
23                    MR.     THOMAS:    It was an adult.

24                    THE COURT:        I mean    --    I'm sorry.

25                    MR.     LAINE:    Your Honor,       I believe he was

                               252nd District Court

 1   32,    and she was 39.

 2                    THE COURT:     I'm sorry.    Yeah.     You said

 3   that you should be allowed to have concubines like King

 4   David in the Old Testament.

 5                    THE DEFENDANT:     That was not true.       Your

 6 Honor, to my knowledge, King David didn't even have
 7   concubines.      Solomon did-- which I've never taught on

 8   King Solomon.     What -- that is a little more

 9 complicated than it seems.          And I had no idea,      Your

10 Honor -- I never .gg_t____a report of what I was alleged to
11   have done until I went to take the polygraph in May of

12   2007    (sic).

13                        When I    saw what I was accused of,            it

14 did bother me because that's not how it happened.                  I

15 did have an affair, which was in Alabama in '99.               She

16   then got her       moved in with my wife and I         -- moved to

17 Texas, moved in with us here in Beaumont.               Upon her

18 moving, I did have intercourse with her one more time.
19                    THE COURT:     Okay.

20                    THE DEFENDANT:     She then joined the

21   church.     After she joined the church is when I cut the

22   relationship off.        She did get upset.    She went to my

23 wife actually -- because I did tell my wife about it
24   when it happened.        She went to my wife and asked my

25 wife if I could impregnate her because God told her I

                                                                          .L3

    1 was supposed to be her husband.           At that point, my wife

    2 asked her to move out the house.
    3                   THE COURT:    Uh-huh.

    4                   THE DEFENDANT:      She asked me did she have

    5    to move.

    6                        I said, yes,    if that's what    she~told

     7 you.

     8                       Then she told me,       if it's the last

     9   thing I do,   I will get you.    I will find a way to get

    10 you, and you will never find me.
    11                       And that was how -- that was the last

    12 time I saw her.      One of things that bothered me in the

    13 report, as well, when I read it, was the other
G   14 accusations on her daughter.         And she got up in church,

    15 as well, as made accusations
    16                   THE COURT:   On the 16-year-old daughter?

    17                   THE DEFENDANT:     Yes.

    18                   THE COURT:   They say you impregnated her?

    19                   THE DEFENDANT:     Right.     She also made

    20 accusations -- which I didn't see that report.            She got

    21 up in the church that she went to and told them I had
    22 relations with my 22-year-old daughter at that time.
    23 She was only -- she had never met her, but she told
    24   everybody I did and that's why she wasn't with me,

    25 which was not the case.
0                                     She was just living with her

 1   was supposed to be her husband.                       At that point, my wife

 2 asked her to move out the house.
 3                             THE COURT:     Uh-huh.
                                                       '
 4                             THE DEFENDANT:        She asked me did she have

 5   to move.

 6                                 I said,    yes,    if that's what she told

 7   you.

 8                                 Then she told me,          if i t ' s the last

 9   thing       I   do,   I   will get you.     I    will find a way to get

10 you, and you will never find me.
11                                 And that was how -- that was the last

12   time    I       saw her.     One of things that bothered me in the

14 accusations on her daughter.                      And she got up in church,

15   as well,          as made accusations

16                             THE COURT:     On the 16-year-old daughter?

17                             THE DEFENDANT:        Yes.

18                             THE COURT:     They say you impregnated her?

19                             THE DEFENDANT:        Right.     She also made

21 up in the church that she ·went to and told them I had

                                                                         14

 1 mother at that time.
 2                   MR.    LAINE:   Your Honor,      just as far as

 3   this accusation,      which is despicable,       clearly he did

 4   it.   Clearly he has accepted responsibility.for that.

 5                   THE COURT:      Well,   that's what I am trying

 6   to get down to is that -- at the time you said the only

 7 reason that you pled guilty was because you ran out of
 8   money to pay your attornev.        You said the victims made

 9   the story up.

10                   THE DEFENDANT:      Right.       And I was going to

11 go -- I was going to go to trial, but Mr. Samuel told
12 me I had to come up with another $3500.
13                   THE COURT:      But now you're standing here

14 telling me that you did do this and you are guilty
15 and --

16                   THE DEFENDANT:      Of -- what happened,        I

17 didn't -- what he told me I was -- I was found guilty
                                                  I

18 of is being a pastor and manipulating a relationship,
19   and that's not how i t - -

20                   THE COURT:      That's pretty much why I am

21 spending so much time with you is just to pretty much
22   show on the record how manipulative you are.

23                   THE DEFENDANT:      Okay.

24                   MR.    LAINE:   Your Honor,      I   -- as far as the

25 accusation that he's in violation of probation -- what

                           SUMMER TANNER, CSR, RPR
                             252nd District Court
    1    he did was despicable.      He -- he did call about four or
0   2    five times before.     If it   ~s    a new offense, as far as

     3 harassment, a misdemeanor, it would car.ry 180 days
     4                  THE COURT:      No.     It goes much deeper than

     5   that.

     6                 MR. LAINE:       Well, Your Honor,       I think -- I

     7 think that there is some -- something should be said
     8   that. he was on medication at the time.

     9                  THE COURT:      That's not what he said.

    10                  THE DEFENDANT:         Yes,   sir.

    11                  THE COURT:      That's not at all what he

    12 said.     What he said was he hadn't been smoking, he

    13 hadn't been drinking.       He's just as sober -- he had 12
0   14 witnesses, the whole nine yards.
    15                  THE DEFENDANT:        And

    16                  THE COURT:      And I think that the real

    17 truth is is that's more than manipulation.               And after

    18 it was all said and done, you thought, oh, my God, what
    19 if she recorded all this and this Judge hears this.
    20                  THE DEFENDANT:         Honest --

    21                  THE COURT:      Anyway,       I've heard enough.

    22                        Mr. Thomas, what are your comments?

    23                  MR. THOMAS:      Judge,       there's another area

    24   that interests me about how manipulative he is,            is that

    25
G        when he makes his first phone call to the counselor in

                              SUMMER TANNER, CSR, RPR
                                252nd District Court
                                                                       .lt)

    1 Denton County, he says, you know, I need anger
0   2    management.     I'm mad, and the reason why is because I

    3    need anger management.

    4                         Well, he's quite under control today

    5    in this courtroom in front of you.       He can turn it on,

    6    turn it off when he wants to         when it's convenient

     7   for him.   And if he wants to be mad at somebody, he

     8   will; and if he wants to be nice, he can.         That

     9   indicates to me he's in complete control of his

    10 emotions.       And, again,   it's just another way to

    11 manipulate this system and this Court.           State

    12 recommends revocation in the case with appropriate

0   13 amount of pen time.
    14                    MR. LAINE:   Your Honor,   all these calls

    15 were made on the same day.        H~   had medication when he

    16 made the calls, and he. said he doesn't recall what he
    17 said.    We have provisions in law to give him leniency

    18 for that or, at least, some consideration.
    19                    THE COURT:    I think that's if I believe

    20 that he was, in fact, on medication, which I do not.            I

    21 quite honestly don't believe a word --
    22                    MR. LAINE:   Your Honor --

    23                    THE COURT:      he's saying.

    24                    MR. LAINE:       I have a list of

0   25   medications and his prescriptions.

            1                    THE COURT:    Th~t's    all right.     I don't
                think that proves whether he was on them or not.

                                     In your case, Mr. Henry,         I find the

                evidence to be sufficient to find Count 1 and 2 to be

                true.   They are true.    I hereby revoke your
                unadjudicated probation.        I now find you.guilty of the

            7 offense of aggravated assault.            You are therefore

            8   guilty of the offense.        I assess your punishment at

                18 years'    confinement in the Institutional Division.
        1       You will receive credit for any and all time that you

                                 IN RE WILLIE HENRY, III

                                      Original Proceeding

                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Relator Willie Henry, III filed a petition for writ of mandamus with this Court.

    Henry's petition apparently seeks to attack the judgment in his underlying criminal case,

    alleging (1) the trial court lacked jurisdiction and (2) the evidence was insufficient

    thereby rendering the judgment void. The judgment Henry complains of and the attached

    exhibits pertain to trial cause number 98575, which was previously appealed to this Court

    and affirmed. See Henry v. State, No. 09-09-00029-CR, 2009 WL 2044819 (Tex. App.-

    Beaumont July 15, 2009, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication).

          Relator has not demonstrated that he is clearly entitled to mandamus relief from

    this Court. See State ex rei. Hal v. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Dist., 34 S.W.3d 924,

    927 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001) (To demonstrate entitlement to a writ of mandamus, a relator

                                                1
must establish that the trial court failed to perform a ministerial duty, and that relator has

no other adequate legal remedy.). Accordingly, we deny relief on the petition for writ of

mandamus.

       PETITION DENIED.

                                                                 PER CURIAM
