Keith Jordan v. State

In The
Court of Appeals
Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
No. 07-19-00203-CR
KEITH JORDAN, APPELLANT
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE
On Appeal from the 364th District Court
Lubbock County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2019-416,969, Honorable William R. Eichman II, Presiding
December 19, 2019
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before PIRTLE and PARKER and DOSS, JJ.
On April 3, 2019, appellant, Keith Jordan, was convicted of the offense of failure
to register as a sex offender.1 He was sentenced to ten years’ incarceration. Appellant
timely filed his notice of appeal. After both appellant and the State filed briefs, on
December 16, 2019, the parties filed a Joint Motion to Reverse Conviction, in which
appellant contends and the State concedes that appellant’s conviction was invalid
1 See TEX. CRIM. PROC. CODE ANN. art. 62.102 (West 2018).
because the period during which appellant was legally obligated to register as a sex
offender had expired prior to the date he was alleged to have committed the charged
offense. See id. After reviewing the record in this case and the applicable law, we
conclude that the joint motion is correct in its conclusion that appellant was improperly
convicted. Consequently, we reverse the trial court’s judgment and render judgment
acquitting appellant of the charged offense. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(c). Having reversed
the trial court’s judgment and rendering judgment acquitting appellant of the charged
offense pursuant to the parties’ agreement, no motion for rehearing will be entertained
and our mandate will issue forthwith.
