RELATOR'S MOTION TO ENFORCE JUDGEMENT/FOR ACTUAL_ISSJLANCE_OF_RJ5LATOR^

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS: Comes now, Jason_T^_Pe£ues_#728196, Relator, Pro-se, respectfully submit this motion to enforce judgement/for actual issuance of relator's writ of mandamus in reference to appellate case number 01-15-00 535-CR. Relator would like to show this Honorable Court the following:

Z5Q£S22SAt_5I§I25I Around March 24,2015 Relator filed a Motion for Forensic DNA Testing in which the Fort Bend District Attorney's Office received the motion o * AEIil_3.L2015. Around June 12,2015 Relator filed a Petition for writ o f Mandamus in this Honorable Court. (Appellate Case •#: 01-15-00535-CR).

The State filed a motion for extension of time around June_10x2015, in which the trial court granted, extending the deadline date to June 29,2015 which was requested by the State in it's motion.(SEE: Attachment _'±A^) . Around JglZ 3,2 015 Relator filed an objection in the trial court and requested for counsel,and that counsel do not file anything until relator and counsel discuss every aspect of the c ase

and agree on what's best to file in which the trial court never responded to.Mempa v. Rhay,389 U.S.12_8. Shortly after, the State filed a second motion, requesting the trial Judge issue/enter orders to

-1- various parties for the location of the evidence in this case 2 618 5, in which relator also objected to. (see: Attachment "g"). This Honorable court ordered the trial court to respond to relator's writ of mandamus 30 days from the order, in which the trial court did respond to relator's writ of mandamus around July 23,2015. Relator responded to the respondent's reply on July__30±2 015. The trial court additionally granted the State's second motion to enter orders to various parties to locate the evidence in this case so that the State can respond to relator's motion for forensic DNA Testing.

NATURE_0F_PR0CEEDING The nature of proceeding in regards to this motion is to compel the trial court to make findings regarding post-conviction DNA Testing as required by art.64.04 of the Tex.Code of Crim.Proc. and to also enforce this Honorable Court's Judgement to actual issue relator's writ of mandamus. The nature of this proceeding is to also prove and show this Honorable Court that relator is constitutionally entitled to relief in which he is requesting this court to grant based on the facts and the official records of this case 2618 5. In re M. B. Jackson^2 38 S.W.3d 603 (TEX^APP.--Waco 2007); Inre Todd-Warren ALTSCHUL,238 S.W.3d 603.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Relator is requesting that this Honorable Court actually issue relator's writ of mandamus. Relator along with this Honorable Court has given the respondent ample enough time to make a finding which is required by code of criminal procedure art.64.04 due to relator's motion for forensic DNA testing being filed on March 24,2015, nearly six (6) months ago. The fact that the respondent granted a motion to enter orders to various parties so that the state can make a finding, and

-2- receiving affidavits from all parties with the exception of Former_As sistant Distr ict„At to rney__Jam es_Sidney__Crow1ey_, who is in contempt of court for not complying with a court order that was signed by an Hon.Judge, all parties stating that they have no knowledge of where the evidence in this case is located (SEE: Attachment_'^C^), the respondent has still not made a finding, violating the Judge's Adjudicative Responsibilities prescribed by the Judicial Canons as well as the 1st, 5th, and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, nor have the respondent attempted to file for extension, so relator reasonably files this motion respectfully advise this Honorable Court to issue his writ of mandamus so that a finding can be made (SEE: In re _M^B ^Jacks onj_ 238 S.W.3d 603_(Tex±Ap_p_j.1-- Waco_2007 )), or grant relator relief of immediately release from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice System, vacating his sentence and charge due to relator being constitutionally entitled to relief.

ISSUES PRESENTED I.

Relator's Motion for DNA Testing was file around March 24,2015 based on relator's court appointed counsel Cary M.Faden stating in a habeas proceeding that DNA testing had been done and confirmed relator as the perpetrator, which through investigation later revealed that aggravated perjury had been committed because according to the record DNA test results were inconclusive with no match. SEE: Attachmen.t_^D^. Counsel made this false statement with intent to deceive, he was the one who cross-examined the criminalist Monica Thompson (Attachment "D'Q .

-3- Counsel knew the knowledge of the statement meaning, made false statement under oath in connection with an official proceeding; and that false statement was material and could have affected the course or outcome of an official proceeding. Coleman v. State, 279 _S«JJx2<LJLt! • Relator's Motion for DNA Testing was also filed based on the investigating record reflecting that DNA was detected January 3,1994$ however, relator was not arrested until March 3,1994 and it was not because of DNA confirmation, but by statements made by the then child illegally taken by the Houston Police Officer, which can be proven beyond reasonable doubt by the records. DNA was not introduced nor admitted into evidence at trial which occurred nearly two years later.

II.

The State has been delaying responding to relator's motion for DNA testing. The respectable purpose for this motion is based on the facts as well as conclusive and preponderance evidence through-out these proceedings that the State has in fact violated the Penal Code Laws of tampering with evidence in this case as well as fabricating. Penal ^±11-H^.1LS.1L11L11j.-11±.19-±- 37.02, and 37^03. With the State not being able to present the evidence in this case not only confirms that the evidence in this case has been tampered with due to fabrication, but also confirms that relator was in fact convicted by an illegal taken statement that was illegally obtained and used to secure a conviction.

Furthermore, the investigating record in this case can prove that the statement was illgally taken and inadmissible by law beyond reasonable doubt. The Tex .C.C .Proc.38.23 prohibits the admission of any evidence obtained in violation of Texas Penal Laws related to gathering,

-4- creating, or destroying evidence. 38.23 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure includes evidence that is obtained in violation of Texas Law as well as that obtained in violation of the Federal and State

constitution. Wilsqn_v1_StatejL311_S1W13d_at 458-59; Smith v. State,165 SAW^3d 361_(Cr1Ap_£ . 2005) . The State stated that there was a knife handle and a phone book in which did not contain relator's prints, concluding that with the State not being able to present evidence in this case, confirms that if relator did not confess to particulars of the crime in the illegal taken statement, the State only.Verbalized it in trial for slandering purposes which had an impact on the jury's verdict, further confirming that with inconclusive DNA Testing results, the illegal taken statement was over 90% of relator's conviction, and with relator's ability to prove the statement was illegally taken beyond a reasonable doubt confirms that there was no evidence in which would have convicted relator. See A11achment_,"E^ where the State relied

solely on the illegal taken statement and the DeGarmo Doctrine, but now that the court of criminal appeals has completely overruled the DeGarmo Doctrine (Jacobson v. State,398 S^W^gd 195 (Tex^CrimvA^2^2013)) and is to be applied retroactively according to West's Texas Digest 2d[100(l) Courts] as the Law of Case Doctrine applies to this case 26185 as well (Lindquist v. City of Pasadena Texas 669 F.3d 225) , relator is now able to present the entire initial police investigation of this case, supported by the investigating record to expose all the Constitutional, Substantial, and Procedural errors and violations that took place in the initial police investigating parts of this case 2618 5.

-5- III.

According to Evidence_75: As a general rule, a party's failure to produce evidence within it's control raises the presumption that, if produced.it would operate against him.

With the State not being able to present the evidence in this case, confirms that woithout the illegal taken statement, there is not any physical or biological evidence, nor was there ever any to support convicting relator, and with the State not being able to present evidence in this case, it forces the State to make a determination of whether the State wants to attempt to prove the statement that was admitted into evidence was legally taken, or to grant relator relief of time-served and avoid reversal proceedings.

I05_§IAT^MtNT_WAS_ILLEGALLY_TAKEN [PLEASE SEE INVESTIGATING RECORD ATTACHED TO RELATOR'S WRIT OF MANDAMUS : APPELLATECASE N0.01-15-00535-CR] I.

In the initial police investigation, constitutional, substantial, and procedural rights were violated and affected. The investigating record in this case 26185 reflects that the police officers visited the child numerous times although he was classified only as a witness,questioning and interrogating him about a criminal act, never informing him of his 5th Amendment right of having his parents present before and during the interrogation/questioning which is a due process violation under the 14th Amendment of the U.S.Constitution, as well as a parental notification requirement violation.

The investigating record also reflects that multiple times the police officers visited the victim parents at their home which was right next door to where the witness lived, but instead of the police officers going to the witness home where his parents would be present, the police officers waited until the child was at school to quest ion/interrogate him in a office alone during school hours avoiding parental interference which is a due process Violation and police coercive conduct. The police never notified the child's parents of their questioning/interrogating the child at school, the child was being interrogated without the informance, notification, or consent of his parents which affected substantial rights, pursuant to Fed££alwRules_o^_Crj.mi^ establishing that these plain errors were prejudicial. (I11ihois^v^ PerkinsA_496_U^S^292A297_£1990).

II.

These violations and errors in the initial police investigation in this case 26185 led to the child being arrested from school with no evidence making the arrest illegal. The officers continued to violate due process rights and affect substantial rights, committing plain errors that were prejudicial by failing to inform the child's parents that the child had been arrested and why, and in failing to do so violat£s_Family__C^de_Ann, 52.02(b). The investigating record in this case reflects that the child was arrested at 1100 hours and the child's parents were notified at 1607 hours, making that a five hour and seven minute delay, which is a XJ£l*Il££_£l-gilllX-9°de 52 •-°-1&1 and due process right violation as well. jKS^v^ Givosky-Garibay.x_176_F^Supjg_21_102' IH-I^C^R±±995_S^Wx2d II2_illij.A££j.Z^Austin_1999); Gonzale s_v_1_Sit ate±_9 _Sj.Wx21_1£I_iA££Ai_ Dist. 1999);Ljjjtatex_993_S^2 d_6 50x6 55^56^Tex^CrimiA2.P.il999).

-7- The State statue requires that a child's parents must be promptly told that the child has been arrested and why and reuires more than just a phone call. Inre C.R.,995 S.W.2d 778 (Tex.App.--Augtin). In that five hour and seven minute delay, the coercive police conduct continued as the police took the child out of the county the crime occurred which was in Fort Bend County, to another county (Harris County), acting without legal authority, lodging the child into a facility that was not approved by the Fort Bend County Juvenile Court and extracted a statement/confession from the child, making the statement/confession illegal and inadmissible by law violating Vernon's Ann.Texas Code of Criminal Procedure art.38.23..Wilsonv^State,311 S.W.3d at 458-5 9; Smith v. State±165_S^W^3d_361 _(_Cr±A^P-iJQ21) > Mi2J._Xi_1£2.£_ILi_2•£Ii£f.Xa 143__F^3d_534-539 (9th Cir. 1998), but there was no evidence against relator, so although the statement/confession was taken illegally, that was all the State had so it was secured, admitted into evidence, and used to convict relator and sentenced him to fifty years in prison.

After the child was certified, the investigating record in this case which proves the violations and errors that occurred in the initial police investigation was sealed by the Fort Bend County Juvenile Court in purpose to hide these violations and errors, which has been hidden for over twenty years. Relator had no knowledge that the investigating record in this case 26122 had been sealed, but relator was recently able to gain possession of the investigating record in this case establishing "Affirmative Evidence of Relator's Innocence" entitling him to a live evidentiary hearing Ex_£arte Frankl in ,_7 2_S^W^3d_6 7_1^6 78 (Tex .Cr im .Appj.2002 ); Exparte Tuley,109 S._ W^3d_3 88_^Tex^Cr im^A^^OO^), -8- but the State has lost the evidence in this case 26185. Either the State failed to disclose this favorable evidence to the defense Br a dy y.

S.W. 3d 64 (Texj_Crim^A££y2 010 ), or the District Court Appointed Counsel Gary M.Faden ignored and neglected the violations and errors that are clear in the investigating record when appointed to this case. Either way, now that the court of criminal appeals has completely overruled the doctrine in which this case was under the authority of (The DeGarmo Doctrine) Jacobson v. _StateJ_39 8_;SxW^-2-122 lle.£j.2ljg.iA££j. 2012) and relator has gained possession of the investigating record in this case, relator is now able to present the entire investigating record along with all the violations and errors that occurred in the initial police investigation of this case 26185.

CLOSING REQUEST FOR RELIEF

The statement/confession that was illegally taken and admitted into evidence and used to convict relator, making that illegally taken statement over 90% of relator's conviction is proven beyond a reasonable doubt by way of the investigating record in this ease, along with support by State, Federal, and Supreme court cases. Flores_v^_ Stat e_j__8 24_SxWx2 d_7 04 .

With relator proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the statement that was secured and used to convict relator was illegally taken and by law was inadmissible results to the actual evidence the State claimed to have had against relator. It has been proven that DNA test results were inconclusive, with no match according to the official court reporter's record in this case which requires for the evidence against

-9- relator to be presented to justify his convict ion.Please see the following: 1.) Without the illegal taken statement...

2.) With the official court reporter's record reflecting that DNA test results were inconclusive,with no match...

3.) With the various parties who submitted their court order affidavits stating that they have no knowledge of where the evidence in this case is located and no personal recollection of this case...

4.) With the State not being able to present the evidence in this case . ..

There is no support of relator being convicted and sentenced to fifty years in prison. The State may attempt to redirect the court's attention as to how guilty relator was in trial reflection but no where is there mentioning of the initial police investigation and this is why the statement carried so much weight. The State had no other evidence against relator other than the illegal taken statement, but again, after relator was cert ified,the investigating record in this case Was sealed so the State either failed to disclose this particular evidence to the defense which is favorable evidence, or the District Court Appointed Counsel Gary M.Faden ignored and neglected the clear and obvious violations and errors that would have resulted this case by law differently. Relator has spent the last twenty-one years in prison with the State hiding the investigating record that exposes violations and errors that would have resulted this case differently. Fortunately, relator gained possession of the investigating record and fortunately, the court of criminal appeals completely overruled the DeGarmo Doctrine enabling relator to present these particular violations and errors the State hid for so many years. Now that relator is presenting the

-10- investigating record proving violations and errors that occurred in the initial police investigation in this case 26185, "ironically" the State has committed aggravated perjury, can not locate the evidence, and refusing to directly address the designating issues in this case that occurred in the initial police investigation. According to Tex .R.App. Proc *44.2(a2 _Const itut ional Error: If the Appellate Record in a Criminal Case reveals Constitutional error that is subject to harmless error review, the court of appeals must reverse a Judgement of Conviction or punishment unless the court determines beyond a reasonable doubt that the error did not contribute to the conviction or punishment. Ex_£arte Thom£so.n_l 53^SvW^3d_416 ; Leday v. State 983 _S jW^ldat,?^; Harrison_v^ U^Sii_3 92_U_1S_1_219 .

Not only did these violations and errors that occurred in the initial police investigation contribute to the conviction and punishment, but the State hid these violations and errors for over 20 years by sealing the record that expose these violations and errors in Juvenile Proceedings, never disclosing the favorable evidence (With-holding Evidence) to the defense, tainting the integrity of the Justice System resulting to unfair proceedings, unfair trial, reversable error, taking away twenty-one years of relator's life.

II.

Due to all the facts and the official record in this case now being presented, relator request that this Honorable Court reverse this case and grant relator the relief in which he is Constitutionally entitled to. Relator request to be bench-warranted to Fort Bend County if necessary and immediately released from the Texas Department of Corrections, vacating his sentence and charge.

STATE OF TEXAS ) COUNTY OF ROCKWALL ) AFFIDAVIT

LLoraihe Crawford, was the Official Court Reporter for the 240th District Court ofthe State of Texas from 1991 until March of2008. I now reside in Fate, Rockwall County, Texas.

Ihave avague recollection ofreporting in the case ofState vs. Pegues, but Ihave no specific recollection ofthe case, nor ofthe exhibits offered and/or admitted into evidence. However, I do remember mat itwas the policy and procedure ofthe court reporters in Fort Bend County to keep exhibits during atrial or hearing until the proceeding was concluded. At that time, it was the court reporter's responsibility to log the exhibits and then to submit the exhibits and the log to the District Clerk. Iam certain Ifollowed that procedure, and there should be an original copy ofthe log in the Court's file. That is all Iremember about mis specific case. It is also possible another court reporter reported ahearing or trial in this case. Itwas Judge Culver's policy to make anotation on the left margin ofthe docket sheet "reported" ifIwas the court reporter for the case. Ifthere was asubstitute court reporter, it was his policy to mark "reported by..." with the name ofthe court reporter who reported that day.

I have relinquished my certification as acourt reporter in the State ofTexas afew years after I retired in 2008.

"I am employed by Houston Forensic Science Center, Inc., a local government corporation that operates as the Houston Forensic Science Center ('HFSC' or the 'Center'). I am the Center's Quality Director. On April 3, 2014, HFSC assumed responsibility for substantially all forensic operations of the City of Houston, including the forensic laboratory formerly known as the HPD Crime Lab.

AFFIDAVIT OF COURTNEY HEAD BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally appeared Courtney Head, who, after being duly sworn, stated as follows: "My name is Courtney Head. I am of sound mind, over the age of 18 years, and competent to make this Affidavit. I have personal knowledge of all facts stated in this Affidavit. "I am employed by the City of Houston and assigned to the Forensic Analysis Division of the Houston Forensic Science Center. My current job title is Criminalist Specialist/Supervisor - Forensic Biology, and I have been in my current role since January 4, 2010. "On April 3, 2014, Houston Forensic Science Center, Inc., which operates as Houston Forensic Science Center (the 'Center"), assumed responsibility for substantially all forensic operations of the City of Houston, including the forensic laboratory formerly known as the HPD Crime Lab. "I am executing this Affidavit in response to the 'Order on State's Motion to Enter Orders so that the State May Respond to the Defendant's Motion for Forensic Data Testing' (the 'Order") issued on June 26, 2015, by the 240th District Court of Fort Bend County, Texas in connection with the captioned proceeding (the 'Case'). "My only 'recollection' regarding 'HPD Case # 140481893 or 140481893B and LAB#L94-159' arises from the following items and documents currently in the Center's possession: 1. A plastic bag containing an index card to which a square piece of gauze is attached. The square of gauze (approximately 2" x 2") appears to have a reddish brown stain located in the center. 'L94-159' has been marked on the index card.

2. A flip-top tube containing a small piece of gauze (also located in the plastic bag noted above containing the index card). 194-159' has been marked on the tube.

3. Twenty-four pages of documents, accurate copies of which are attached to this Affidavit as Exhibit 'A.' "I have not opened the plastic bag or the tube described above. "Other than the items and documents described above, I have no personal knowledge regarding the current existence of evidence recovered in connection with the Case. The piece ofgauze described above may be in a condition that makes DNA testing possible. "I have no personal knowledge regarding the chain of custody of the plastic bag or the tube described above or whether evidence in the Case previously has been subjected to DNA testing. "If evidence in the Case previously was subjected to DNA testing, newer testing techniques may be available that provide more accurate results than previous testing, depending when the previous testing was conducted. "I have no personal knowledge of the present whereabouts of evidence related to the Case other than the items and documents described above. "I have no personal knowledge that evidence related to the Case is missing or has been destroyed. "I understand that Lori Wilson, another employee of the Center, also is executing an Affidavit in response to the Order. To the best of my knowledge, no other person employed ormanaged by the Center has information related to the Case that is different from the facts stated in this Affidavit and in Ms. Wilson's Affidavit."

I am 40 years of age, and my date of birth is 03/10/75. My employee number is 115994 and I have been employed, with the city of Houston for app^oxiraatply 15 years. I am assigned to the Houston Police Department. Property Division, as a Sr. Microcomputer Analyst My work number is 832-394-4096. The facts stated herein are true and correct, except those stated on Mormation and belief, to the best of my knowledge During the first week of June, Fort Bend County DA Investigator John Bohannon requested assistance from the Property Division in finding information related to articles that had. been previously tagged into the HPD Property fCoom under case 140*81893.

A search in the Property Division's Evidence Management System did not show any item information under case 14048J893. While doing farther research I looked in the Division's closed out files and found vwo invoices for case 140481893. The first invoice had a tagging date of 12-28-93 and the second invoice had a tagging date of 05-25-94. The invoice for evidence tagged on 12r28-93 contained the following: barcode »BACF (: Sexual Assault Kit) and barcode - BACH (1- bag containing clothes). The invoice for evidence tagged on 05-25-94 contained the following: barcode - C7D9 (Vial of blood, Hair, Saliva).

Attached to both -invoices was an "HPD Property Division Temporary Release of Property Receipt" form which stated that all items under baicodes BACF, BACH, and C7D9 had been taken for Court Appearance on 07-19-95. This "HPD Property DivisionTemporary Fvelease of Property Receipt" form also stated that aft items- undsr barcodes BACF, BACH, and C7D9 were kept by the 240th eo;xt on 07-19-95.

I have attached copies of the two invoices and the "HPD Property Division Temporary Release of Property Receipt" form with this affidavit.

On June 4, 2015 I made a copy of the two invoices and the "HPD Property Division Temporary Release of Property Receipt" form and bad these documents notarized by Sgt. Lance Johnson. I then provided the notarized copies of these documrats to Investigator John Bohannon on mat date.

I was not employed by the Houston Police Department at the time when the evidence under case 140481893 was tagged j»*%tke Property Room or wrien this evidence was taken and kept by the Houston Polite UepiKUKBt Ov.i?rinN.-08/O'i/15 Internal Amur; Division

Finally, although I have fully cooperated and answeied all issues presented in tiiis matter to the best ofmy ability as ofthe date ofthis statement, thfe incident occurred 9 weeks ago. Therefore, I hereby reserve fee right to supplement and/or amend this statement should additional facts be brought to my attention Through further investigadon, subsequent reflection on the matter, because of an honest defect in the perception ofthe events), or the common foibles ofhuman memory.

Court of Appeals of Texas,Houston (ist Dist.).

PEGUES v. STATE Jason Tyrone PEGUES^ Appellant, v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee.

No. 01-95-01008-CR.

» December 18,1997 Before SCHNEIDER, C.J., and O'CONNOR and MARGARET GARNER MIRABAL, JJ.

Gary M. Faden, Sugarland, for Appellant.John F. Healey, Jr., John H. Harrity, JH, Richmond, for Appellee.

OPINION ON MOTION FOR REHEARING We overrule the appellant's motion for rehearing, withdraw our previous opinion, and substitute this in its stead.

Jason Tyrone Pegues, the appellant, was found guilty by a jury ofthe offense of aggravated sexual assault. Punishment was assessed at 50 years in prison. On appeal, the appellant argues the trial court erred in (1) not entering written findings of fact and conclusions of law on the voluntariness and legality of his confession and (2) overruling his motion to suppress his confession. We affirm.

Background The offense for which the appellant was tried occurred on December 28, 1993. On March 3, 1994, Officer Anderson went to Willowridge High School to arrest the appellant. After the arrest, Anderson transported the appellant to the command station in downtown Houston and brought him before Judge John Joneitz, a magistrate judge who administers statutory warnings to juveniles. Judge Joneitz administered the statutory warnings to the appellant.

Afterwards, the appellant was placed in a holding cell at the downtown command station,

2/7/201'J2:16P?.'*// r'EGUES v. STATE, No. 01-95-01008-CR., December 18, 1997 - 'IX.. http://cas.elaw.findlaw.com/tx-.co.urt-of-appeals/1012121.htral

which had been designated as a juvenile holding facility by the juvenile boards ofHarris and Fort Bend Counties. Anderson typed the appellant's statement as he stated it to her.

After Anderson typed the appellant's statement, she gave him the opportunity to correct it.

Anderson then took the appellant back to Judge Joneitz's chambers, where Judge Joneitz privately asked the appellant to read the statement back to him. Judge Joneitz asked the appellant some questions that were designed to enable him to determine if the statement was given freely and voluntarily. Judge Joneitz determined the appellant gave the statement freely and voluntarily and certified that the appellant signed the statement in Judge Joneitz's presence.

After conducting a pretrial hearing on the voluntariness ofthe appellant's statement or confession^ the trial court denied the appellant's motion to suppress his confession. The appellant re^-urged his objection to the admission ofthe confession at trial, but the trial court overruled it and admitted the confession into evidence.

The appellant testified during the punishment phase ofthe trial. When asked ofhis feelings about the events that took place on December 28, 1994, the appellant said he was sorry. He said he regretted what had happened to the complainant and assumed full responsibility, saying he had just made a mistake. He said he had been attending a rehabilitation program that involved therapy for sexual offenders. On cross-examination, the prosecutor elicited the following testimony from the appellant: Q (by Crowley): In fact, Mr. Pegues, I would suggest that you're not sorry at all for raping [the complainant]; but you're very sorry that you're looking to go to the penitentiary, aren't you?

A (by the appellant): No, sir. I'm sorry of the fact that I did something like that.

Motion to Suppress the Confession In point of error two, the appellant claims his confession was taken in violation of Tex.Fam.Code § 52.02.1 Relying on the DeGarmo doctrine, in our original opinion we held the appellant waived this complaint because he admitted he committed the offense during the punishment phase of the trial. DeGarmo v. State, 691 S.W.2d 657, 660-61 (Tex.Crim.App. 1985). %In his motion for rehearing, the appellant argues we took his statement at the punishment phase out of context and that it was not an unequivocal confession. He argues DeGarmo should not apply here.' We disagree.

The DeGarmo doctrine provides that, if during the punishment phase, a defendant confesses to all the elements ofthe crime for which he has been found guilty, he waives any error that might have occurred during the guilt stage of the trial/" Id.; Deleon v. State, 925 S.W.2d 295, 296 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist] 1996, no pet.).

The appellant, responding to a question clearly referring to the rape, expressed remorse for raping the complainant. His confession, which he claims should not have been admitted, also stated he raped the complainant. * Neither statement admitted to using a knife during the attack. Thus, the appellant's statement at the punishment phase did not confess to all the elements of aggravated sexual assault. The DeGarmo doctrine does not apply squarely to this case but its rationale does.

The DeGarmo doctrine has been called a common-sense rule ofprocedure. See McGlothlin v. State, 896 S.W.2d 183, 187 (Tex.Crim.App. 1995). This is so because a defendant who complains of the improper admission of evidence,, a trial error, would at most be granted a new trial. Id. at 188. Upon retrial, the defendant's judicial confession to all the elements of the offense would be admissible. See Tex.R.Crim.P. art, 38.22, § 5 (1979). Therefore, a new trial would be pointless, as the trier of fact would hear the defendant's confession to the offense.

The same reasoning applies in this case. Here, the appellant did not admit to all the elements of aggravated sexual assault, and so did not waive all error occurring during the guilt phase. However, his judicial confession to the rape matched the confession he argues was erroneously admitted. The DeGarmo reasoning applies here. Assuming the confession Was erroneously admitted and the appellant was granted a new trial, his judicial confession, that he was sorry he committed the rape, would be admissible at the new trial.

We conclude the appellant's admission during the punishment phase waived any error that may have occurred concerning the admission of his confession at the guilt phase ofthe trial.

We overrule point of error two.

Failure to Enter Findings In point of error one, the appellant argues the trial court erred in not entering findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding the confession's voluntariness. As stated above, the appellant waived any error that may have occurred with regard to the admission ofthe confession. This includes the entering of findings of fact and conclusions of law following a hearing on voluntariness.

We overrule point of error one.

We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
