Petitioner and Rebutted by the State. The decision of the Seventh
District Court of Appeals errored in its determination that the

sufficient to support petitioner's conviction, furthermore, the

When re-evaluating the specifics of the statute; petitioner
respectfully request this Court to consider the following:

the petitioner of a fair trial, therefore causing egregrious harm

specifically excluded from the statute. Tex.Penal Code Ann.21.02'
(c)(2).
(3) The erroneous jury instruction was empasised by the'state,
stating to the jury that,"if they could prove the act or acts
specifically excluded from the statute, that was enough to meet
their brden of proof inorder for the jury to find the petitioner
guilty."
(4) The repetativeness of the error in charge, that was :• i.
included two times in lesser included charges, therefore adding
emphasis to the misstatement of the law, therefore causing
