                         MEMORANDUM OPINION1

                                      ----------

      This case raises certain issues fundamental to our system of criminal

justice, especially those issues involved in substantial justice and fair play. In a

system in which the indictment or information is to provide notice to a defendant

of the charges against which he must defend himself and there is no ability to

request a bill of particulars, and in which the definition of intoxication has been

held to be evidentiary only and not an element of the offense, can the State in

      1
       See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
fundamental fairness plead only the subjective definition of intoxication in two

different paragraphs, alleging both consumption of alcohol alone and

consumption of alcohol and/or drugs, offer flawed evidence of per se intoxication

by retrograde extrapolation, and then properly obtain an instruction to the jury

that the definition of intoxication includes the per se definition? We hold that the

State may not.

       A jury convicted Appellant Bradley Kelton Crenshaw of driving while

intoxicated (DWI). The trial court sentenced him to 120 days’ confinement and

an $850 fine, probated for twenty-four months.        In his sole issue, Appellant

challenges the trial court’s jury charge, which instructed the jury on both the

subjective definition and the per se definition of intoxication despite the

information having alleged only the subjective definition. Because we hold that

Appellant suffered some harm from the trial court’s erroneously instructing the

jury on the per se definition, we reverse the trial court’s judgment and remand

this case to the trial court for a new trial.

I. Factual and Procedural Background

       In two paragraphs, Appellant was charged by information with ―operat[ing]

a motor vehicle in a public place while [he] was intoxicated by not having the

normal use of his mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction‖ of

(1) alcohol, or (2) ―alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, or

a combination of two or more of these substances into his body.‖




                                                2
      At trial, in anticipation of the State’s introduction of his blood test results

and extrapolation testimony, Appellant objected under rules 401 and 402 that the

evidence would be confusing to the jury and that it was not relevant to whether

he had had the normal use of his faculties at the time of the alleged offense. The

trial court overruled the objection, and Appellant requested and was granted a

running objection.

      Southlake police officer Andrew Anderson testified that at about 2:00 a.m.

on February 19, 2007, he arrested Appellant for DWI and that he took Appellant

to the hospital for a blood draw at about 4:00 a.m. Anderson further testified that

when he asked Appellant if he had been drinking, Appellant stated that he had

had bourbon and Coke at 1:00 a.m.

      Officer Anderson also testified that he smelled marijuana ―on [Appellant’s]

breath‖ and that he found a leaf of marijuana on the console between Appellant

and the passenger. Was he testifying that Appellant was eating marijuana a la

Alice B. Toklas?2    Officer Anderson made no mention of smelling marijuana

smoke in the car, on Appellant’s clothing, or in his hair. Officer Anderson made

no mention of finding any joint, roach, ashes, or other indication that marijuana

had been smoked. He arrested the passenger for public intoxication. Although

Appellant’s blood was drawn and tested for alcohol, no blood test was performed

      Alice B. Toklas, The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book 259–60 (Harper Perennial
paperback. ed. 2010) (1954) (garnering notoriety for including a recipe for
brownies that included marijuana as an ingredient).


                                         3
for the presence of marijuana. There was no evidence of how much marijuana, if

any, Appellant ―indulged in the use of,‖ and no evidence of any other controlled

substance, drug, or dangerous drug in Appellant’s system.

      Andrew Macey, a forensic scientist with the Texas Department of Public

Safety, testified that the blood sample taken from Appellant approximately two

hours after his stop contained .07 grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood.

Angela Caretta Springfield, chief toxicologist for the Tarrant County Medical

Examiner, testified that under Texas law, .08 is legal intoxication. She further

testified that if a person is 6'1" and 140 pounds, has had ―one or two bourbon

and Cokes,‖ is stopped by the police at 2:06 a.m., and had a blood draw at 4:01

a.m., if the blood test showed a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .07, then at

the time of his driving, the person would have had a BAC of at least .08.

      During the charge conference, the State objected to the proposed

definition of intoxication, which did not state that a person was intoxicated if he

had an alcohol concentration of .08 or more. Citing State v. Barbernell,3 the

State argued that to give notice to Appellant, it only needed to plead intoxication

in the information.   The State argued that the information required no other

references as to an objective or subjective standard and that ―[e]verything after

that is icing on the cake.‖   The State requested the trial court to provide a




      3
       257 S.W.3d 248, 256 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008).


                                        4
definition in the charge that tracked the language of the information and also

included the .08 per se intoxication standard.

      Appellant asserted that the State went beyond the mere plea of

intoxication in the information and alleged loss of normal use of mental and

physical faculties. He argued that the inclusion of the subjective standard in the

information limited his notice, that he relied on the notice in preparation of his

defense, that the addition of the per se definition in the jury charge would be

prejudicial, and that the jury charge should track the language of the information.

The trial court included the per se definition in the jury charge but did not include

it in the application paragraph.

      Specifically, over objection, the trial court instructed the jury that

      ―Intoxicated‖ means:

      A. Not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by
      reason of the introduction of alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug,
      a dangerous drug, or a combination of two or more of these
      substances into the body; or

      B. Having an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more.

The trial court also instructed the jury, without objection, that

             You are further instructed that if a defendant indulges in the
      use of Marijuana to such an extent that he thereby makes himself
      more susceptible to the influence of alcohol than he otherwise would
      have been, and by reason thereof becomes intoxicated from recent
      use of alcohol, he would be in the same position as though his
      intoxication was produced by the use of alcohol alone.

      The application paragraph permitted the jury to convict Appellant of DWI if

they found beyond a reasonable doubt that he


                                           5
      did not have the normal use of his mental or physical faculties by
      reason of the introduction of alcohol into his body, and while so
      intoxicated, by reason of the introduction of alcohol into his body,
      either alone or by introduction of alcohol, a controlled substance, a
      drug, a dangerous drug, or a combination of two or more of these
      substances into the body, and on the said date did then and there
      drive or operate a motor vehicle in a public place while intoxicated.

II. Charge Error

      In his sole issue, Appellant complains that the jury charge erroneously

instructed the jury to convict him based on either the ―subjective‖ definition of

intoxication or the ―per se‖ definition despite the State’s sole reliance on the

subjective allegation in the information. After this case was submitted, this court

requested briefing of the following subsidiary but pertinent matters:4

      Whether an indictment that alleges intoxication by lack of normal use
      but that does not allege per se intoxication constitutes notice to a
      defendant that the State will not seek to convict on a theory of per se
      intoxication;

      Whether a claim of lack of notice of prosecution on a per se theory of
      intoxication requires a motion for continuance or some other request
      for additional time to secure an expert in order to preserve the notice
      claim or whether the objection to the admission of the evidence
      sufficiently preserves the claim;

      Whether the reasoning of the court in Cook v. State,5 in holding that
      definitions in a jury charge must be limited to the conduct elements,
      applies in this case;
      4
       See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(f), 38.9; Pena v. State, 191 S.W.3d 133, 138
(Tex. Crim. App. 2006); Leadon v. State, 332 S.W.3d 600, 613 n.3 (Tex.

      Whether the objected-to testimony regarding retrograde
      extrapolation complained of in Appellant=s brief was properly
      admitted under the Daubert-Kelly standard and, if not, whether its
      admission was reversible error in light of the jury instruction;

      If the testimony of retrograde extrapolation was improperly admitted
      and if there is no properly admitted evidence of per se intoxication,
      whether it was error to include per se intoxication in the definition of
      intoxication submitted to the jury;

      Whether there was sufficient evidence of the amount of marijuana in
      Appellant=s system and the effect of that amount of marijuana to
      support the synergistic effect instruction and whether the instruction
      was sufficient to properly guide the jury in applying the instruction, or
      whether the evidence of the extent to which Appellant Aindulge[d] in
      the use of marijuana@ and of the effect of that amount of marijuana
      was inadequate so that the instruction was not supported by the
      evidence or, in light of the evidence, was confusing to the jury; and

      Whether it was error to submit to the jury the application paragraph
      allowing the jury to convict if it found Appellant was intoxicated as a
      result of the introduction of a drug or a dangerous drug when there
      was no evidence of the introduction of a drug or a dangerous drug; if
      it was not error to submit the application paragraph, why was it not
      error; if it was error, whether the objection to the charge included an
      objection to that application paragraph; and if it was error, whether
      such error was harmless, merely somewhat harmful, or egregiously
      harmful.

      Appellate review of error in a jury charge involves a two-step process.6

Initially, we must determine whether error occurred.7

      In Barbernell, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that an information

alleging neither definition of intoxication nevertheless provided Barbernell with

adequate notice of the charges against him,8 but that is not the situation here.

The State here conscientiously elected to narrow its case by relying solely on the

subjective definition in the information but at trial sought and obtained (over

timely objection) the benefit of both the subjective and per se definitions in the

charge.    Because the information did not allege the ―per se‖ theory of

intoxication, there was no notice to Appellant of any intent to offer expert

evidence of retrograde extrapolation and no opportunity for Appellant to secure

an expert to rebut the information. Additionally, although the manner in which a

defendant becomes intoxicated is evidentiary,9 when the State pleads two of

three methods of proving intoxication, analogizing to the ―familiar canon firmly

grounded in Texas jurisprudence . . . the rule of expressio unius est exclusio

alterius, reasoning that . . . inclusion of a specific limitation excludes all other

limitations of that type,‖10 essentially, the State is informing a defendant that it will

not seek to prove intoxication by the third means. This conclusion is particularly

important when the excluded method requires expert testimony, and, therefore,

to effectively meet and dispute the evidence of the State’s expert, a defendant

must rely on the assistance of an expert and give timely notice of intent to call the

expert in order adequately to prepare for trial.11

      The State can prove intoxication by proving per se intoxication or by

proving lack of normal use of mental or physical faculties,12 both evidentiary

matters and not elements of the offense and therefore not required to be pled.13

But when the State gives specific notice that it will prove one form of intoxication

and not the other, the State may be bound by the allegations in the same way

that it would be bound if it had provided the same information in response to a

discovery request, if to hold otherwise would encourage gamesmanship and trial

by ambush.14 Consequently, we hold that because the information specifically

2005), in which the court granted habeas relief on ineffective assistance of
counsel grounds because trial counsel failed to investigate or obtain experts for
economic reasons, not as trial strategy, and holding that Aldrich’s trial counsel
wrongly believed that he had no duty to complete any independent investigation);
see generally Mata v. State, 46 S.W.3d 902, 917 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001) (holding
that the trial court abused its discretion by admitting the State’s evidence of
retrograde extrapolation).

2846 (2007) (holding state court failed to provide Panetti the procedures he was
entitled to under the Constitution with respect to his claim that he was
incompetent to be executed; notwithstanding his undisputed substantial threshold
showing of insanity, the state court on repeated occasions conveyed information
to defense counsel that turned out not to be true, provided at least one significant
update to the state without providing the same notice to Panetti, and failed to

gave Appellant notice that the State would prove intoxication by proving lack of

normal use of his mental and physical faculties, the information failed to provide

adequate notice to Appellant that the State would prove per se intoxication.

Additionally, because the information specifically gave notice of the State’s intent

to prove intoxication by lack of normal use of his mental and physical faculties,

we hold that Appellant was effectively denied notice of the charges ultimately

leveled against him in the jury charge, and, correspondingly, that the jury charge

erroneously expanded the scope of the charges against him by incorporating the

per se definition of intoxication.15

      We further hold that the trial court erred by including the per se definition

because the evidence does not support such inclusion. In Cook, the Texas Court



provide him with an adequate opportunity to submit expert evidence in response
to the report filed by the court-appointed experts); Pope v. State, 207 S.W.3d

of Criminal Appeals held that ―it is error for a trial judge to not limit the definitions

of the culpable mental states as they relate to the conduct elements involved in

the particular offense.‖16 Applying that rule here, we would hold that it is error for

a trial judge to not limit the definitions of intoxication to the facts before the court.

But we do not need to so tax ourselves, because, as the Texas Court of Criminal

Appeals has explained since Barbernell,

             Under the Texas DWI statute, intoxication may be proven in
      either of two ways: (1) loss of normal use of mental or physical
      faculties or (2) alcohol concentration in the blood, breath, or urine of
      0.08 or more. The first definition is the ―impairment‖ theory, while
      the second is the ―per se‖ theory. They are not mutually exclusive,
      and, as long as there is evidence that would support both definitions,
      both theories are submitted in the jury charge.17

      In Mata, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals explained, ―Retrograde

extrapolation is the computation back in time of the blood-alcohol level—that is,

the estimation of the level at the time of driving based on a test result from some

later time.‖18 The court noted that a particular absorption rate depends on a

variety of factors, including, inter alia, food in the stomach, gender, weight, age,

amount consumed, and period of consumption.19 The Texas Court of Criminal

Appeals also noted that the scientific community is divided over whether

retrograde extrapolation is reliable.20

      In the case now before this court, Dr. Springfield offered testimony of

retrograde extrapolation over objection, yet lacked vital information necessary to

an accurate extrapolation result: the period of consumption, whether food was in

the stomach, and an accurate assessment of the amount consumed.

      Dr. Springfield opined that at the time Appellant was driving, his BAC

alcohol level was above .08. Yet Dr. Springfield also candidly admitted that,

rather than being ―widely accepted in the scientific community,‖ extrapolation is

the subject of controversy in the scientific community. She testified that ―[o]ne

has to have certain information available in order to make a reliable

extrapolation. Otherwise, there are too many assumptions that are made. It may

not be credible in a particular instance that’s being considered.‖

      Dr. Springfield was then given certain assumptions, and her response to

certain assumptions was that the BAC was at .08 or below. When given other

assumptions, she concluded that the BAC would definitely be greater than .08.

      She also testified that, although in her opinion a person began losing

normal use of mental or physical faculties at a BAC of .04, ―when someone has a

.10 alcohol level in their body,‖ he or she would not necessarily show signs of

intoxication.   Dr. Springfield also testified that such a person would appear


      20
        Id. at 910.


                                          12
intoxicated to only 50% of people observing them. Does this mean that the

observed person has or has not lost the normal use of his or her mental or

physical faculties?

      Additionally, as in Mata, the State did not offer evidence of the reliability of

Dr. Springfield’s retrograde extrapolation testimony that Appellant’s BAC was .08

at the time he was operating the motor vehicle and did not dispute her testimony

that under another set of assumptions, it was below .08. Indeed, Dr. Springfield

did not testify that the reliability of extrapolation was widely accepted in the

scientific community. She testified that extrapolation was not widely accepted in

the scientific community, was controversial, and was reliable only if certain

information, which she did not have, was available.            Her conclusion that

Appellant’s BAC was .08 or above was dependent on speculative assumptions

provided to her and not on actual evidence.

      When asked if she could use the evidence contained in the record (time of

driving, time of blood draw, and a BAC result of .07) to ―figure out what the

alcohol concentration was at the time of driving,‖ Dr. Springfield replied, ―Yes.

There are some ways of doing that, but . . . I would need other information.‖ The

State then provided various hypothetical situations that Dr. Springfield testified

would definitely result in a BAC of above .08.

      Although Dr. Springfield testified that she could state unequivocally that a

person who was 6'1", weighed 140 pounds, had had his last drink at 1:00 a.m.,

and had stated that he had one or two bourbon and Cokes would have had a


                                         13
BAC of above .07 before the police stopped him at 2:06 a.m. if that person also

registered a .07 BAC at 4:01 a.m., she also testified to the contrary. ―When I say

that it would take three to four drinks of that kind to reach a .07, I’m saying if you

could take the alcohol and put it directly into somebody’s bloodstream . . . .‖

[Emphasis added.]

      Then the defense added consumption of food to the hypothetical situations

posited originally by the State:

      Q:     . . . [I]f someone had—over a three-hour period had a bourbon
             and Coke in the first hour, ate dinner, and then had another
             bourbon and Coke? Would that change how you—

      A:     Yes.

             ....

      A:     Well, if you made a measurement two hours later, the alcohol
             would be virtually zero.

      In discussing the controversy about extrapolation, Dr. Springfield stated,

―Um, there is controversy about [extrapolation].         One has to have certain

information available in order to make a reliable extrapolation. Otherwise, there

are too many assumptions that are made. It may not be credible in a particular

instance that’s being considered.‖      She then assumed that she had all the

information, but she testified that the results were affected by food absorption

and elimination, information that the record does not reflect that she had. Nor did

she know the amount of alcohol content in any drink that Appellant consumed.

We therefore hold that the trial court additionally erred by including the ―per se‖



                                         14
theory of intoxication in the definition of intoxication provided in the jury charge

because there was no properly admitted evidence of it under the requirements of

Daubert and Kelly.21

III. Harm

      Error in the charge, if timely objected to in the trial court, as this error was,

requires reversal if the error was ―calculated to injure the rights of [the]

defendant,‖ which means no more than that there must be some harm to the

accused from the error.22 In other words, a properly preserved error will require

reversal as long as the error is not harmless.23 In making this determination, ―the

actual degree of harm must be assayed in light of the entire jury charge, the state

of the evidence, including the contested issues and weight of probative evidence,

the argument of counsel and any other relevant information revealed by the

      The evidence of guilt was conflicting.      The videotape of the arrest

contradicted some of Officer Anderson’s written statements in his report.

Appellant did not stumble, and his speech was not slurred. Although acting

nervous has been held to contribute to reasonable suspicion to detain a person,25

here, Officer Anderson testified that Appellant was not nervous, and Officer

Anderson believed that the absence of nervousness was a suspicious

circumstance.

      The videotape does not reveal whether Appellant was intoxicated at the

time he operated a motor vehicle, nor does it reveal that Appellant was

intoxicated at the time the videotape was made.

      Further, the rest of the jury charge is problematic.26     The trial court

improperly instructed the jury on how it was to consider evidence of marijuana.

Although Officer Anderson found a marijuana leaf and said that he smelled

marijuana on Appellant’s breath, no blood test was conducted to determine

whether there was any marijuana in Appellant’s blood stream or, if so, how much.

Further, there was no evidence that the amount of marijuana in Appellant’s

system, if any, would have a certain or, indeed, any effect on the action of

alcohol in Appellant’s system. ―Texas courts are forbidden from instructing the

jury on any presumption or evidentiary-sufficiency rule that does not have a

statutory basis. Such an instruction is an improper comment on the weight of the

evidence.‖27

      Additionally, the application paragraph improperly allowed the jury to

convict if they found that Appellant was intoxicated as a result of the introduction

of alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, or a combination of

two or more of these substances. There was no evidence from any source of the

presence of any drug or dangerous drug in Appellant’s system at the time he

drove or at any time after he was detained. There was, therefore, no evidence to

support that instruction or to support a conviction on that basis. 28 When the

evidence is insufficient to support a conviction, the trial court should eliminate

that theory of conviction from the jury’s consideration and not include it in the

charge.29

      Accordingly, applying the test required by Almanza, we hold that Appellant

suffered some harm from the trial court’s erroneous definition of intoxication in

the jury charge. We sustain his sole issue.

      Having sustained Appellant’s sole issue, we reverse the trial court’s

judgment and remand this case to the trial court for a new trial.
