    TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICE OF THE SAID COURT:
    COMES'' NOW QUINCY BUTLER .MOVANT IN THE ABOVE ENTITLED AND
    NUMBERED cause by and through PRO se ,and files this Motion
    for Rehearing pursuant ( 79.1),and in support thereof movant
    would show the court as followings:
    THE Court of Criminal Appeals has held the court's
    jurisdiction is not unlimited when it comes to protecting
    thehrights of the citizen no matter what walk of life he
    or she may be from. McBetiii vs Campbell, 125 s.W.2d 118,122

    supported by record Authority and Argument to obtain relief.

    MOVAT WAS DEPRIVED OF HIS RIGHTS AS SECURED AND GUARANTEED
    under the 6th amendment to an impartial"jury trial"     and
    to be properly informed of the nature and cause of the accu
    sations against him and violated his 14th amendment right to
    due process when this court failed to acknowledge that the
    trial court abused its discretion in denying movants "IMOTION
    to QUASH indictment .Movant challenged the ©onstitlitional ;bMt
    test required for a valid indictment, and the elements of r:         -•<;
    the constitutional testeltrequired for a valid indictment,and i•--.••-

    nessary to complete the discretion thereof alleged therein

    "Motion to Quash the Indictment" as the Texas Code of
    Criminal Procedure illustratively defines defects in the .•••.;.
    substance to include "That it contains matter which is a legal
    defense or bar to prsecution •"
    And the terms set forth in the second paragraph charging
    movant with aconduct of being reckless is misconstrued,imper
    missible and misdirecting to the meaning expressly provided
    by Texas Legislative intent.In the instant case ,thus reveals
    constitutional error that is subject to a harmless error re
    view, and The Court of Criminal Appeals should grant this ,:
    Motion forUReheaiing of this Court order Ref using.jp .D .R
    4-1-15,and movant urges the court to issue an order to re/o
    verse this wrongful conviction.Futher the challenge to the
    legallyuinsufficiifent evidence should have been reviewed
    "de novQfl . Ih accordance to well established law established
    by the U.S. Supreme Court as well as The Texas Court of
    Criminal Appeals, a grand jury indictment must set forth each
    essential element of offense,and to be valid an indictment
    must charge positively and not inferentl^/but with clarity
    and certainty so that the accused may know with precise
    notice of what he is defending against .When a statute • •., :.,,.,
    defines the manner and means of a commission in several
    alternative ways, a_n_ indictment will fail for lack of_ specificity

    _(_"WHERE A CRIMINAL STATUTE POSSESSES      STATUTORILY_DEFINED,
    ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF COMMITTING AN OFFENSE, THEN; UPON
    TIMELY/REQUEST,A DEFENDANT     IS ENTITLED TO AN ALLEGATION
    OF WHICH STATUTORY METHOD THE STATE INTEND TO PROVE .").
    The Court of Criminal Appeals intended to create
    a bright-line rule in Edmond . That rule is:"WHEN A STATUTE
    DEFINES THE MANNER.OR MEANS OF COMMITTING'AN OFFENSE,           AN
    INDICTMENT BASED UPON THAT STATUTE NEED NOT ALLEGE ANYTHING
    BEYOND THAT DEFINITION "Edmond ,933; :S .W .2d •at 129. .
    In ith'S instant case    the charging instrument defines
    part of Deadly Conduct and part of Aggravated Assault
    definition     in the indictment ,and fails for lack of     , oci .i
    specificity. The <20t*i<:)Gotiir&:op£oAp^AlS stated : THE
    TRIAL ATTORNEY. STATED THAT THE STATE FAILED TO S TATE^A CUL-PABLE
    MENTAL STATE    AND APPELLANT'S APPEAL ATTORNEY ASSERTS THAT
    THE INDICTMENTKALLEGED THE WRONG CULPABLE MENTAL STATE.
    The 10 th Court of Appeals failed to address the fact
    the indictment was void as a whole if it did;'ii©t give
    a culpable mental state of if it gave the wrong culpable
    mental state which prejudiced the defendant and violated
    his due process rights guaranteed unider th 14th amendment.
    The state charges     the deadly weapon as follows:...to-wit:
    firearm,which in the manner of its use or intended use was
    capable of causing death or serious bodily injury..."
    This language is not necessary and was not part of the
    statutorily definition of deadly conduct therefore violating
    establish law in 
    Edmond supra
    .
    Thiei U.S constitution states that : Imi all   criminal   -.o;io
    prosecution,the accused shall enjoy the right to a...public
    trial,by impartial jury... and to be in formed of the nature
    and cause .of the accusation. [U.S. Constitution 6 Amend.]
    In the instant case the movant was entitled to a specific
    allegation of the manner and means
    of committing the alleged offense in which hev/was charged.
    The £ourt of Criminal Appeals has held that an accused
    cannot ^£L "intentionally or knowingly",and act reckless
    at_ the_ same time in_ the same instant, [ALONZO y_s_ State,353 s.W.
    3d 778(Tex Crim.App 2011)
    ..and because     of such denial of constitutional protection
    and the State's failure to correct the invalid and fundamentally
    defective and void indictment when having an opportunity to
    do so, this court in all things should grant this Motion for
    Rehearing and Reverse the trial courts conviction and punishment
    and remand for further proceedings.
    2)
    In reviewing a legal sufficiency challenge to the evidence
    Tex. Code Criminal Proc.Ann.art. 1.14(b) provides that certain
    errors are waived if the>re is no objection. In COQK vs State
    902_ S.W-. 2d_ 471,476 (TEX, CR-.App .1995), the Court held to
    comprise an indictment within the meaning of art,V-.&12 of the
    Texas Constitution,the document must charge:1) a person(2)with
    the commission of an offense. In the instant case the -trial
    court did not have jurisdiction to prosecute this instant case
    by lack of clarity and specificity to identify the penal statute
    under which the State intended to prosecute.
    The Trial court has denied movant his Sitcth Amendment            j ,r,
    right to compulsory process " is in plain terms the right to
    present a defense, How could movant present a defense when
    the fail to give adequate notice of the offense in which the
    State plan to prosecute after timely request?
