Lawson v. State

DEVANY, Justice,

dissenting.

I respectfully dissent because article 38.-07 of the Code of Criminal Procedure clearly provides that the fifteen year old complainant in this case was required to inform another person of the alleged act within six months.

The majority opinion is based on dicta in Hernandez v. State, 651 S.W.2d 746 (Tex.Crim.App.1983) involving an eleven year old victim.

I would reverse the judgment of conviction and acquit appellant.
