DISSENTING OPINION

Today, the Court reverses the court of appeals because a majority of this Court held Section

facially unconstitutional in State v. Doyal, ___S.W.3d___, No. PD-0254-18, 2019 WL 944022 (Tex.

Crim. App. Feb. 27, 2019). TEX . GOV ’T CODE § 551.143. I respectfully dissent to the Court’s

opinion for the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in Doyal. 2019 WL 944042, at *22–30.
