Byrom v. State
Court of Civil Appeals of Texas
Byrom v. State, 648 S.W.2d 440 (1983)
1983 Tex. App. LEXIS 4201
Fender
Byrom v. State
Opinion
OPINION
Appellant, Donald Keith Byrom, was convicted upon a plea of guilty of incest and was sentenced by a jury to five years.
We affirm.
Byrom’s sole ground of error asserts that Texas’ incest statute, V.T.C.A. Penal Code, § 25.02, is unconstitutional because it is “an unwarranted Governmental interference in the private sexual relations of its citizens.” He cites no authority in support of this contention. We find such contention repugnant and without merit and decline to hold the statute unconstitutional. The ground of error is overruled and the judgment affirmed.
