PEITTION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

10 THE HONORABLE JUDGE(S) OF SAID COURT: COMES NOW, Ronald Wayne Schofield, Relator, Pro se, in the above styled and numbered cause, and respectfully presents this Petition for Writ of Mandamus pursuant to T.R.A.P. Rule 52.8 , Rule 72, and Texas Constitution, Article 5, §8. The Relator would show this Honorable Court the following:

I. JURISDICTION This Honorable Court does have jurisdiction over all matters and parties involved in this petition pursuant to Article 5, §8 of the Texas Constitution, and Rule 78.1, T.R.A.P.

II. STATEMENT OF THE CASE On January 4, 1999, the Relator was charged with two (2) counts of sexual assault of a child under 17 years of age. Relator appeared before the 23rd District Court Judge_ of Brazoria County, Texas. The Relator pled guilty and punishment was assessed at two (2) years confinement in TDCJ-CID. On September 11, 2003, the Relator was charged, and pled guilty to failure to comply with registration requirement, in the 23rd District Court of Braz- oria County, Texas, in Cause No. 44,919. Punishment was assessed at 159 days, misdemeanor punishment, and confinement in the Brazoria Gounty Jail. (1) On September 17, 2006, Relator was extradited from Henderson, Nevada, after completing any and all punishments. from any convictions. He was charged with failure to register as a sex offender in the 10th District Court of Galveston County, Texas. The Relator was charged as guilty on April 10, 2007, punishment assessed at 11 years confinement in TDCJ, for a 1st degree felony. On March 2, 2015, the Relator filed a Motion for Nunc Pro Tunc Order (See Exhibit "A") in the 23rd District Court of Brazoria County, Texas. As of the filing of this petition, no response has been received.

III. SOLE ISSUE PRESENTED The Trial Court erred in using one Cause Number in its hearing, judgment and sentencing, as it did not require a separate finding of guilt on both counts to convict. The actions by the Trial Judge causes the Relator to suffer collateral consequences under the Texas Sex Offender Registration Statutes. Under the statute a person with 2 or more convictions must verify registration every 90 days or face criminal prosecution. As seen in paragraph II, infra, the Relator has sufferd twice due to the illegal second conviction. The failure of .the Trial Court to file both cases separately, and hear them separately, was a denial of due process, as it only required a finding of guilt on one of the counts to convict the Relator on both counts. When the Relator filed his Motion for Nunc Pro Tunc Order, the Trial Court was under a ministerial duty to correct the error by deletion of Count TWo from the Judgment and Immediate Sentence Order.
