Art. 5 Sec. 6 10 U. S Const. Amend. 6 vj 7 VII STATEMENT REGARDING ORAL ARGUMENT there is a discrepancy throughout this State concerning the correct procedure for an attorney when making an offer of proof on important issues such as admitting relevant and admissible evidence. The State Court and the Court of Appeals is either not providing guidance or incorrect guidance regarding the law which is applicable. The issues presented in this particular case request the two highest Court of this State to set precedence on the correct and concise manner in which proof is offered. The opinion to follow will hold consistently on the particular topic and be a standard for the lower Courts to follow. Because these questions present important issues which can be viewed in a different light depending on a case by case basis, Appellant request oral arguments in this case pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 68.4 (d). The Texas Constitution (Article 1 Section 10) and the United States Constitution (amendment 6 and 14), ensure that defendants in criminal prosecutions shall have the right to produce and have evidence admitted "when a defendant claims consent, physical evidence that sexual relations took place become moot; credibility of the parties becomes the whole question for the]ury. Ithink it is in sex cases that juries will most often be asked to reach a verdict solely on the basis of uncorroborated testimony of a victim, and therefore I think that is in sex cases that the balancing approach will most often render evidence admissible." (Keller, J) see Lopez v. State. 18 S.W. 3d 220. 227 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). VIII IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN PD-1573-14 PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW STATEMENT OF THE CASE On or about March 4, 2013, Appellant was indicted for the felony offense of sexual assault, enhanced for punishment by a prior felony conviction. (RR:8). On or about July 17, 2013, the trial court omitted relevant and admissible evidence of Sarah Albillar's lengthy mental history including prior ideations of kidnapping, rape, and pregnancy. (RR4:7, 31-32). At trial, the evidence was legally insufficient to support Appellant's conviction because there is NO evidence that Appellant used or exhibited force. (RR8:56). On July 23, 2013, a jury found Appellant guilty and assessed Appellant's punishment at confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Institutional Division, ("TDCJ-ID") for thirty-five years. (RR:68-69). On or about July 29, 2013, Appellant timely filed.Notice of Appeal. On August 23, 2014, Appellant filed a Motion for new trial which was overruled by Operation of Law seventy-five days later. Tex. R. App. P. 21.8. On November 20, 2014, the Court of Appeals affirmed Appellant's conviction. On November 25, 2014, Appellant timely filed an extension of time pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 10.5 (b) (3). which was granted. Appellant now comes before this Court and files this P.D.R. pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 68. STATEMENT OF PROCEDURAL HISTORY 1. On November 20, 2014, the Court of Criminal Appeals for the Fourteenth Supreme Judicial District of Houston affirmed Appellant's conviction. 2. Appellant did not file a motion for rehearing in the Court of Criminal Appeals for the Fourteenth Supreme Judicial District of Houston and now this Appeal results. QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW 1. Did the Court of Appeals misconstrue Rule of Evidence 103, in the determining that trial Counsel failed to preserve error by making an offer of proof, which set forth the substance of the proffered evidence pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellant Procedure 66.3 (d)? 2. Did the Court of Appeals apply the correct standard of review for the sufficiency of evidence based on all the evidence within the record, to ensure the jury reached a rational decision? ARGUMENT AND QUESTIONS FOR REVIEW Question #1 Did the Court of Appeals misconstrue Rule of Evidence 103 in determining that Trial Counsel failed to preserve error by making an offer of proof, which set forth the substance of the proffered evidence pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 66.3 (d)? The Court of Appeals drew a wrong inference from Rule of Evidence 103 in determining that trial counsel "never offered the complainant's mental health records into evidence," (See Judgment pg. 9) for purpose of preserving error. The Court of Appeals has viewed the record too narrowly and the law on perfecting error for review too strictly. The substance of the relevant and admissible evidence was known and apparent to the trial court when the Court stated: • I'll reserve ruling on the objection. (RR 4:32,13) • The entire record does not come in. (RR 4:33, 8) Reference to New Mexico Behavioral Health Inst. And Texana Medical records • So it's not relevant as to this Physician. (RR 4:33, 16 • Discussion pertaining to in camera hearing (RR 2, 3-4) Rule of Evidence 103 (a) (2) allows a party to claim error in a ruling since it excluded evidence and the substantial right of a party is affected. See Tex. R. App. P. 33.1 (a) (1) (A): Aschbacher v. State, 61 S.W. 3d 532. 538 (Tex. App. San Antonio 2001): Warner v. State. 969 S. W. 2d 1. 2 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998). The excluded evidence (medical records) that trial counsel sought to introduce at trial consisted of mental health records that specifically showed. chronic paranoid schizophrenia, a 30 day civil commitment from an inpatient psychotic unit, and delusions of being kidnapped, abused, raped, and pregnancy. (RR 4:31, 23-25), (See attached documents). The documents would have allowed Appellant an opportunity to rebut or explain during the cross-examination of the State's witness Dr. Baptise, who was the primary care physician/psychiatrist for the Complainant. (RR 4:26). See Tex. R. Evid. 412 (a) (2): Miles v. State. 61 S.W. 3d 682 (Tex Crim. App. 2001). The Court of Appeals erred by failing to review trial counsel's statement as a form of a concise statement to set forth the substance of the proffered evidence. Mr. McClure: And Iintend to introduce thepsychological records in their entirety that Ms. Marcus is bringing up from Texana today (RR4:7, 16-18). Love v. State. 861 S.W. 2d 899. 901 (Tex Crim. App. 1993: Mavs v. State 285 S.W. 3d 884 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009) See dissent. This offer of proof was a reasonably specific summary of the evidence offered and the relevance as apparent since trial counsel stated: Mr. McClure: And if Imight, your Honor, there's a consistencyevery time she's hospitalized. She ideates towards kidnapping, abuse, rape, and pregnancy. There's a continuation throughout her entire... (RR4:31, 22-25) Biagas v. State. 171 S.W. 3d 161 (Tex. App. Houston [1st Dist.l 2005) It would appear from the record that Appellant satisfied Rule 103 (a) (2)'s requirement and the Appellate Courts reviewing was in conflict with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Mavs v. State, 285 S.W. 3d 884 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009) See dissent. Tex. R. Evid. 103 and a material question of law pertaining to issues of insufficiency to preserve error for appellate review. Given the subsequent colloquy between defense counsel, the State, and the trial court, it is clear that the trial court knew perfectly well that trial counsel intended to offer testimony from expert witness and Complainant about her lifetime battle with schizophrenia and her questionable mental capacity "since childhood." (RR 4:38, 12) (RR 8:34) (RR 4:42). The State acknowledged the possibility ofthe defense "delivering" into the Complainants own sexual history. (RR 2:6, 21-23). Dr. Baptise: "The mother told me she's been having these problems since childhood." (RR 4:38, 11) The trial court abused its discretion by excluding the relevant and material evidence based on the State's erroneous remoteness objection (Tex. R. Evid. 404 (b)), that was not applicable due to the dated documents within the Texana MHMRA file (Exhibit A) dating from 8/8/2001 to 4/14/2011. Later, Dr. Baptise testified to her notes within the inadmissible medical file: Dr. Baptise: "What I have in my notes is that she's had delusions of thinking she was pregnant, that the government was after her grandparents. Those are the two delusions I have noted in my notes. (RR4:53, 17-20) The Appellant was denied the opportunity to effectively challenge the Complaint's truthfulness, bias and motive based on the mental health disorder and medication. (II) The Appellant challenges the violations of his constitutional right to present relevant and material evidence to confront State witness. Offering of proof burden is less rigid when excluded evidence goes generally to witness credibility; including an impairment possibly effecting credibility. (Schizophrenia) LaHood v. State. 171 S.W. 3d 613 (Tex. App. Houston [14th Dist.l 2005). Texas law and USCA require great latitude when the evidence deals with a witness's specific bias, motive or interest to testify in a particular fashion. Tex. R. App. P. 44.2 (a). Tex. Const. Art. 1 Sec. 10; U.S. Const. Amend. 6. Delware v. Van Arsdoil. 475 U.S. 673. 106 S. Ct. 1431. 89 L ed. 2d 674. Cross examination of a State's witness to show that the witness has suffered a recent mental illness or disturbance is proper, provided that such mental illness tends to reflect upon the witness's credibility. Hammer v. State. 296 S.W. 3d 555 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009): Virts v. State. 739 S.W. 2d 25 (Tex. Crim. App. 1987); Bouldin v. State. 87 Tex Cr. R. 419, 222 S.W. 555 (Tex. Crim. App. 1920). When the jury is asked to evaluate the credibility of a witness, one diagnosed with chronic paranoid schizophrenia and severe psychotic symptoms, its imperative the defense is given an opportunity to present a meaningful defense including relevant and material evidence. The motion for new trial / hearing preserved the point of error on appeal adding facts and evidence not in the trial record: psychological treatment records of Sarah Albillar (Exhibit A) Tex. R. App. P. 21.2 (CR 83-84). ARGUMENT AND QUESTIONS FOR REVIEW Question #2 Did the Court of Appeals apply the correct standard of review for sufficiency of evidence based on all of the relevant evidence within the record to ensure the jury reached a rational decision? The evidence within the record to establish the adverse findings were factually insufficient in determining guilt ofsexual assault. Appellant argues a jury fails to reach a rational decision if it's centered on irrational and unreasonable evidence and testimony to support the elements of a criminal offense. Appellant challenges a conviction of Sexual Assault pursuant to Tex. Penal Code Sec.22.011 • Without the consent of the other person • Actor compels the other person to submit or participate by the use of physical force or violence. • Actor compels the other person to submit or participate by threatening to use force or violence against the other person and the other person believes that the Actor has the present ability to execute the threat. The totality of the factual circumstances and credibility of testimony by Complainant is based on the irrational evaluation that a mental ill witness suffering from prolonged chronic paranoid schizophrenia should be believed beyond a reasonable doubt. Cain v. State. 958 S.W. 2d 404. 410 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997). The jury struggled on this "he said, she said" case erring in its verdict and determination that the evidence was sufficient, although consent was possible. A positive in court/out of court identification could not be made, (RR 8:69) and positive DNA evidence did not exist. (RR 7:27). Should all these conflicts concerning the evidence be resolved by testimony from a delusional, schizophrenic Complainant who was assumed credible by the jury because evidence (medical records) were excluded by the trial court? Clearly, the jury struggled in the "He Said, She Said" case with whether or not Appellant forced Complainant to submit to the alleged sexual assault. (See jury's note to Judge). It's apparent that the jury based their determination that the sexual encounter between Appellant and Complainant was centered on Appellants alleged threat to leave Complainant on the side of the road and not a threat of violence or force. That is not what the law prescribes. (See Texas Penal Code Sec. 22.011), (CR: 61) The issue of Identification (though not necessary because of consent) was a non- issue at trial. When the State failed to get Complainant to identify Appellant as her attacker (RR 8:68-70), the State went as far as eliminating the jury because the Complainant was unable to identify Appellant. This is the same individual who she spent time with Appellant at the neighborhood swimming pool (RR 8:13-14) and the individual she went out to have drinks with. (RR 8:16-18). These inconsistences coupled with a complete medical record would have shown a complete disturbance of Complainants mental issues and reflected on her credibility. The evidence is factually insufficient to show Appellant compelled Complainant to submit or participate by the use of physical or violence; or compelled Complainant to submit or participate by threatening to use force or violence against Complainant. See Johnson v. State. 23 S.W. 3d 1 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000); Cain v. State. 958 S.W. 2d 404. 408 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997): Tex. Const. Art. 5 Sec. 6. The Appellant argues the Court of Appeals erred in its determination that factual evidence existed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that non-consensual sex occurred and physical force/violence was used by Appellant against the Complainant. The factual sufficiency analysis fails to justly consider the credibility of a schizophrenic - delusional Complainant who was portrayed as sane and competent. This would lead the jury to reach an irrational decision contrary to their rulings pursuant Young v. State 358 S.W. 3d 790. 801 (Tex. App. Houston [14th Dist.l 2012. pet ref'd.) 10 PRAYER FOR RELIEF Wherefore, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant respectfully prays this Court to review the (2) reasons for granting review based on the Fourteenth Court of Appeals decision to affirm the judgment in Cause #14-13-00686 CR. The Appellant prays this Court grant discretionary review based on erroneous decisions that conflict with other State and Federal Appellate Courts and the misconstruing of Statute, Rule and Standard of Law.

In The Ifamrtent*? (Enurt of Appeals NO. 14-13-00686-CR DAMON KENDRICK DOVE, Appellant - V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 268th District Court Fort Bend County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 12-DCR-061181A MEMORANDUM OPINION In two issues, appellant Damon Kendrick Dove challenges his conviction of sexual assault. See Tex. Penal Code § 22.011. We affirm. I. Background On June 12, 2012, Deputy Steven Treece ofthe Fort Bend County Sheriffs Department was responding to a 911 call about a possible burglary when the complainant in this case ran up to his patrol car window and reported a sexual assault. The complainant subsequently gave a videotaped statement in which she stated that she met appellant at the pool earlier on the day of the offense. Appellant told her about his children and offered to give her a ride home. When appellant dropped the complainant off at her home he asked her if she wanted to watch a basketball game that night. The complainant agreed, and said that appellant picked her up later that night, and they went to a bar to watch the basketball game. After drinking beer and playing pool at the bar, appellant asked the complainant if she wanted to drive somewhere to see some deer. The complainant asked how they would see deer at night when it was dark. Appellant told her he would leave his headlights on to light the area. Appellant drove to a secluded location on a dirt road. Contrary to what he told the complainant earlier, appellant turned off the headlights as soon as he stopped the car. The complainant asked him what was happening. Appellant responded, "Get. out of the car and walk home or put out." The complainant said at that moment she was terrified. The complainant described appellant's tone as demanding. The complainant was afraid to get out of the car because she did not know where she was. She was afraid appellant might kill her. Appellant then climbed over the console into the passenger seat where the complainant was sitting, and began to take off his pants. Appellant demanded that the complainant take off her top and began to pull off her clothes. At that time the complainant was afraid appellant would continue hurting her.-After penetrating her while in the front seat, appellant told the complainant to get in the back seat "or walk home." The complainant complied and climbed in the back seat. Appellant requested that she turn around with her back toward him. He was hitting her vagina at the same time as he assaulted her, which caused the complainant to lose control of her bladder. At that point the complainant grabbed her purse, pushed appellant away, and fled from the car. As the complainant was running she took off her shoes, and ran across a field. She saw a tall fence and jumped over it to get to the house. There were two children and a dog in the backyard of the house. The children went inside and the complainant went to the front door of the house asking for help. The homeowner told the complainant to go away so she ran to another house, knocked on the door, but there was no answer. She ran away from that house when she saw the sheriffs deputy responding to the burglary call.1 The day after the offense, appellant learned that law enforcement officers considered him a suspect in the sexual assault. Appellant phoned Detective Jarret Nethery, the investigating officer, and expressed a desire to tell his account ofthe night. Nethery and Detective Marshia Cox conducted and recorded a noncustodial interview with appellant. A redacted version of the videotaped interview was played for the jury. At the beginning of the interview the detectives explained to appellant that he was not under arrest and was free to leave. According to appellant, he and the complainant met at the pool earlier in the day and he gave the complainant and her brother a ride home. Appellant asked the complainant if she wanted to go out that ni<*ht, and she agreed to go to a bar to watch a basketball game. Appellant and the complainant left the bar at approximately 9:30 p.m., drove to a subdivision near where both he and the complainant lived, and parked on the side of the road. Appellant admitted that he penetrated the complainant's vagina with his penis. They moved to the back seat of the car and continued until she urinated on herself. The complainant decided to leave; appellant offered to drive her home, but the i The homeowner of the first house misunderstood why the complainant was in his backyard, called 911, and reported a burglary. complainant chose to walk home. Appellant stated they were parked for approximately 45 minutes, but the complainant never told him she did not consent to intercourse. After appellant's interview was shown to the jury, Nethery testified to several inconsistencies in appellant's interview. First, the location that appellant said was near his and the complainant's home was actually not walking distance to either home. Second, appellant said he was parked on the side of the road, but Nethery said a car would have been detected if parked near the road. The complainant testified at trial, and repeated the events as she told them in the videotaped interview. At trial, the complainant testified that appellant told her, "Get out of the car and walk home or take your clothes off." This differed slightly from the ultimatum the complainant repeated in the video. The complainant testified that while appellant was on top of her in the front seat of the car she did not feel she could leave. She was afraid appellant would kill her if she tried to leave. After the complainant contacted the sheriffs deputy she was transported to the hospital where she first spoke with Detectives Nethery and Cox. The next day the complainant, Nethery, and Cox found one of the complainant's shoes in the area where appellant had driven the night before. Treece found the complainant's other shoe the night of the assault when he was responding to the 911 call. The sexual assault nurse examiner testified that she performed an examination on the complainant in which she detected abrasions and bruises consistent with the complainant jumping over a fence. The nurse also detected a .5 centimeter tear at the 6:00 position on the labia minora. She testified that this location is the most common place an injury occurs with penetration. The nurse examiner further testified that the complainant reported the assault as follows: 4 Patient states: He — I think his name is spelled Mapon — picked me up at 7:00 p.m. We went to the bar, and he asked me ifI wanted to go see some deer for a while. I thought that sounded cool, so I said okay. He drove down this dirt road and parked, and that's where it happened. He raped me. He told me in this mumbling, scary sounding voice to either put out or walk home. I was really scared, and I didn't know if he would hurt me. He got on top of me. I said, 'No.' And he said, 'Put out or get out and walk home.' He put his penis in my vagina. It hurt me so bad. It hurt my bladder so bad I peed on myself. Ijumped out of the car and ran, jumped afence, and asked for help. The nurse concluded that the physical findings were consistent with the history given by the complainant. Appellant was convicted of sexual assault and the jury assessed punishment at 35 years in prison. II. Sufficiency of the Evidence In his first issue appellant argues the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction. When reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence, we view all of the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict and determine, based on that evidence and any reasonable inferences therefrom, whether a rational jury could have found the elements ofthe offense beyond a reasonable doubt. Gear v. State, 340 S.W.3d 743, 746 (Tex. Crim. App. 2011) (citing Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 318-19 (1979)). In making this review, an appellate court considers all evidence in the record, whether it was admissible or inadmissible. Winfrey v. State, 393 S.W.3d 763, 767 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). We may not substitute our judgment for that of the jury by reevaluating the weight and credibility of the evidence. Brooks v. State, 323 S.W.3d 893, 900 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010). We defer to the jury's responsibility to resolve any conflicts in the evidence fairly, weigh the evidence, and draw reasonable inferences. Id. The jury alone decides whether to believe eyewitness testimony, and it resolves any conflicts in the evidence. Id. In conducting a sufficiency review, we do not engage 5 in a second evaluation of the weight and credibility of the evidence, but only ensure the jury reached a rational decision. Young v. State, 358 S.W.3d 790, 801 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2012, pet. ref d). A person commits sexual assault if he intentionally or knowingly causes the penetration of the anus or sexual organ of another person by any means, without that person's consent. Tex. Penal Code § 22.011(a)(1)(A). Appellant admitted having sex with the complainant on the night of the offense. The issue before us is whether the evidence supports the jury's finding that the complainant did not consent. With regard to consent, the jury was instructed that a sexual assault is without the consent of the other person if: "(1) the actor compels the other person to submit or participate by the use of physical force or violence; or (2) the actor compels the other person to submit or participate by threatening to use force or violence against the other person, and the other person believes that the actor has the present ability to execute the threat[.]" Appellant argues the jury heard no evidence the complainant was forced to do anything. He argues that while the complainant was frightened, appellant's actions and words did not cause her fear. The fact finder considers the totality of the factual circumstances in determining whether the victim consented. Brown v. State, 576 S.W.2d 820, 823 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); see also Graves v. State, 994 S.W.2d 238, 243-44 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 1999, pet. ref d) (finding evidence of implicit threat of force when defendant threatened to beat victim as he had done on at least one prior occasion); Gonzalez v. State, 2 S.W.3d 411, 415 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1999, no pet.) (finding evidence of physical force when defendant laid on top of the complainant preventing her from moving). The testimony of a victim, standing alone, is sufficient to support a 6 conviction for sexual assault. Villalon v. State, 791 S.W.2d 130, 133 (Tex. Crim. App. 1990); Jensen v. State, 66 S.W.3d 528, 534 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2002, pet. refd). Moreover, the jury is the sole judge of the credibility of the witnesses at trial. Johnson v. State, 23 S.W.3d 1, 6 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000); see Hernandez v. State, 804 S.W.2d 168, 170 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1991, pet. refd) (stating "the jury had the ability to observe the witnesses carefully, to hear the fear or violence projected from each witness, and to evaluate the credibility ofeach witness and the overall sufficiency ofthe evidence on the issue of consent"). Explicit verbal threats and physical injury are not necessary to prove a defendant compelled a victim's participation. Edwards v. State, 97 S.W.3d 279, 291 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2003, pet. refd) In this case, the jury heard testimony that appellant drove the complainant to a secluded area, not the area he described in his voluntary statement. He instructed the complainant to get out of the car and walk home or "put out." The complainant testified she was afraid for her life and was afraid to get out of the car because she did not know where she was. The complainant testified that appellant struck her vaginal area with his hand so forcefully that it caused her pain. There is nothing in the record to suggest the jury's resolution of the testimony was not reasonable. See Cain v. State, 958 S.W .2d 404, 410 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997). The complainant testified to the fear she perceived from appellant and the threats appellant used to keep her from fleeing. Viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the prosecution, we conclude a rational trier of fact could have found beyond a reasonable doubt that appellant intentionally or knowingly caused the sexual organ of the complainant to contact his sexual organ without her consent. Therefore, the evidence is legally sufficient to find appellant guilty of sexual assault. We overrule appellant's first issue. III. Exclusion of Medical Records In his second issue appellant argues that relevant and admissible evidence of the complainant's mental health history should have been admitted at trial. At trial, with regard to the complainant's mental health history, Dr. Nancy Baptiste, a psychiatrist at Texana Living Center, testified that she treated the complainant for schizophrenia. She testified that the general symptoms of schizophrenia include a loss of being in touch with reality, hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thoughts. When Baptiste first saw the complainant, she was taking Seroquel and Haldol, antipsychotic drugs, and Cogentin, a drug which addresses side effects that may occur from some antipsychotic drugs. Baptiste testified that the only delusions of the complainant that Baptiste recorded were that she was pregnant and that the government "was after her grandparents." During Dr. Baptiste's cross-examination, defense counsel presented her with an unidentified document and asked Dr. Baptiste whether she had reviewed the document to make her initial diagnosis of the complainant. Dr. Baptiste responded, "I can't say for sure ... I might have." The following discussion then took place at the bench: MR. MCCLURE [defense counsel]: At this time, I do intend to go into that if the State has an objection — THE COURT: First off, it's a document that's not been admitted into evidence yet. It's part 4 of Texana's records — as far as the exception to the hearsay rule — MR. MCCLURE: Well, that's what I have Ms. Marcus here for. THE COURT: The entire records [sic] doesn't come in — MR. MCCLURE: Of course. Of course. THE COURT: Under the highlighted portion — MR. MCCLURE: Of course. THE COURT: But this doctor has not testified that she used it in any diagnosis or treatment, so it's not relevant as to this physician. MR. MCCLURE: Okay. I guess I'll just wait. THE COURT: I'll sustain the State's objection at this point, but they're not even close to getting — MR. MCCLURE: I understand. As defense counsel continued to cross-examine Baptiste he showed her several unidentified documents and asked whether she had relied on those documents in her diagnosis and treatment of the complainant. Each time Baptiste answered that she could not specifically remember the complainant's treatment and that she did not rely on the documents presented to her by counsel. Following his conviction appellant filed a motion for new trial to which he attached the complainant's mental health records. Appellant argued that had the records been admitted he would have been found not guilty by the jury. The trial court denied appellant's motion. On appeal appellant argues the trial court erred in excluding the complainant's mental health records. The State argues appellant waived error by failing to offer the mental health records into evidence. Appellant argues that he preserved error during the conversation at the bench when the document, which the court identified as "part 4 ofTexana's records," was shown to Baptiste and the trial court sustained the State's objection. Contrary to appellant's assertion, he never offered the complainant's mental health records into evidence. Appellant attempted to cross-examine Baptiste on the document, and counsel stated, "I guess I'll just wait." Appellant did not later attempt to introduce the documents either for purposes of cross-examination ofBaptiste, or as an offer of proof for purposes of preservation of error. Even if the above-quoted exchange could be considered a ruling on the offer of the evidence, appellant failed to make a timely offer of proof to the trial court. In order to preserve error regarding a trial court's decision to exclude evidence, the complaining party must comply with Rule of Evidence 103 by making an "offer of proof which sets forth the substance of the proffered evidence. Mays v. State, 285 S.W.3d 884, 890 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009). The primary purpose of an offer of proof is to enable an appellate court to determine whether the exclusion was erroneous and harmful. Id. A secondary purpose is to permit the trial court to reconsider its ruling in light of the actual evidence. Id. In this case, appellant did not present the documents to the trial court until after judgment in his motion for new trial. Although such an offer serves the purpose of enabling the appellate court to review the documents, appellant did not give the trial judge an opportunity to reconsider his ruling prior to the jury's verdict. Because appellant failed to offer the evidence at trial, or make a timely offer of proof, he waived his objection to the exclusion of the medical records. See Tex. R. App. P. 33.1. We overrule appellant's second issue. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. /s/ John Donovan Justice Panel consists of Justices Boyce, Jamison, and Donovan. Do Not Publish — Tex. R.
