                                 DEFENDANT'S WRITTEN NOTICE OF APPEAL

 TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

     COMES NOW Joseph Lee Taylor, Defendant/Appellant in the above entitled numbered cause and
 respectfully files his Defendant's Written Notice of Appeal pursuant to Rule 25.2 Rules of Appellate
 Procedure in good faith. Defendant would show unto this Court as follows:

     Defendant was convicted by a jury on August 18, 2015, and the court-appointed attorney mislead his
 client in changing the election to have the jury assess punishment. Which the Defendant was
 sentenced by the Trial Judge on August 19, 2015, sentencing the defendant to 26 years in the Texas
 Department of Criminal Justice- Institutional Division.

     Defendant has the desire to appeal from the judgment or order appealable to the 1st or 14th Court of
 Appeals 301 Fannin St. Houston, Texas 77002, by signing the case to the court.

     Defendant is challenging the indictment on the elements to constitute the offense as charged
 regarding the Court of the Court and the instruction of the law that lessen the State's burden of proof,
 the sufficiency of the evidence and ineffective assistance of counsel on failing to file a motion to
 suppress evidence of the blood withdrawing at the Hospital without a warrant; during pretrial
 pleadings, motion to quash the indictment and the re-indictment of the day of trial; did not protect
 hyis clients' right to 10 day preparation and/or a waiver. Counsel rendered ineffective assistance of
 counsel during the election of punishment from the election of the jury to hearing evidence on the
 punishment to assess punishment to allow the trial court to assess punishment by allowing the
 enhancement paragraphs to be used in violation of the statute Texas Penal Code section 49.09{g) both
 chapter is not available per se.

     For the foregoing reasons, this Court should find that the Defendant is entitled to an appeal by
 Ordering the Court Reporter to prepare the notes, transcript into a statement of facts by filing it with
 the Court of Appeals and the Clerk to prepare the trial records for the Court of Appeal proceeding in
 indigent status on appeal.

     WHEREFORE, PREMESIS CONSIDERED, Defendant prays that this Court will grant the Defendant the
 right to appeal the conviction and sentence in all things requested.

                                                         Respectfully submitted,

v.
JOSEPH LEE TAYLOR




TO THE HORONABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

  COMES NOW Joseph Lee Taylor, Defendant in the above entitled numbered cause and respectfully
files his Defendant's Motion for New Trial pursuant to Rule 21.3 Rules of Appellate Procedure.
Defendant would show unto this Court as follows:




  Defendant alleges that he was convicted for the offense on or about 3rt1 day of April, 2014, did then
and there commit an offense hereafter styled the primary offense, in that said Defendant did operate a
motor vehicle in a public in Brazoria County, Texas, to wit: a public roadway, while intoxicated;

 And it is further presented to said court that prior to the commission of the primary offense by the
said Defendant, on or about the gth day of November, 1979, in the County Court at Law No.9 of Harris
County,Texas, Cause No. 05700076, the said Defendant was duly and legally convicted of an offense of
driving while intoxicated;

 And it is further presented to said court that prior to the commission of the primary offense by the
said Defendant, on or about the 10th day of October, 1979, in the County Court at Law No. 9 Harris
County, Texas, Cause No. 0557965, the said Defendant was duly and legally convicted of an offense of
driving while intoxicated;

 And it is further presented to said court that prior to the commission of the primary offense by the
said Defendant, on or about the 4th day of May, 1995, in the County Court of Austin County, Texas,
Cause No. 13014, the said Defendant was duly and legally convicted of an offense of driving while
intoxicated;

 And it is further presented to said court that prior to the commission of the primary offense by the
primary offense by the said Defendant, on or about the 20th day of April, 2005, in the County Court at
Law No. 3 of Brazoria County, Texas, Cause No. 137428B, the said Defendant was duly and legally
convicted of an offense of driving while intoxicated;

 And it is further presented to said court that prior to the commission of the primary offense by the
said Defendant, on or about the 4th day of November, 2009, in the 177th District Court of Harris County,
Texas, Cause No. 1239426, the said Defendant was duly and legally convicted of an offense of driving
while intoxicated;
                                       ENHANCEMENT PARAGRAPHS

  And the Grand Jurors Aforesaid do further present that before the commission of the primary offense,
on or about the 7th day of November, 1983, in Cause Number 0889774 in the 184th District Court of
Harris County, Texas, the defendant was convicted of the felony of Robbery;

  And the Grand Jurors Aforesaid do further present that before the commission of the primary offense,
and after the conviction in Paragraph One of the Enhancement allegation was final the defendant
committed the felony of Possession of a Controlled Substance and was convicted on or about the 22"d
day of July, 1993, in Cause No. 0669865, in the 182"d District Court of Harris County, Texas; against the
peace and dignity of the State.

                                                      II

 The Prosecutor moved to transfer documents of an additional indictment in Cause No. 73922 & 76613-
CR on August 17, 2015, which is are-indictment of the case in cause number 73922.

  Defendant's attorney Zachary S. Maloney filed Defendant's Election As To Punishment and, prior to
the commencement of voir dire, elects for the jury to assess punishment in the event of conviction on
August 17, 2015.

 After the Court hearing the evidence, the Jury rendered a guilty verdict from the Charge of the Court
instruction per se on August 18, 2015, and the Defendant's counsel mislead him into a change in
punishment for sentencing on August 19, 2015. The trial Court assessed punishment at 26 years
confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal justice -Institutional Division for the offense pursuant
to Texas Penal Code Section 49.09(b) supra.

                                                      Ill

 Defendant alleges that he is entitled to a setting, docketing and a hearing of his Motion for a New Trial
to hear evidence to determine the merits for relief on the following grounds:

 1) Denial of a fair trial pursuant to ineffective assistance of counsel in failing to protect the
     Defendant's rights to a effective assistance pursuant to the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 14th Amendments
     of the United States Constitution and cited authorities; a) counsel failed to file motion to suppress
     the blood withdrawal at the Hospital from an accident that occurred on the day in question, in
     drunk-driving investigations, the natural dissipation of alcohol in the bloodstream does not
     constitute an exigency in every case sufficient to justify conducting a blood test without a warrant.
     The Fourth Amendment provides in relevant part that "[t)he right of the people to be secure in
     their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not
     be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause." Our cases have held that a
     warrantless search of the person is reasonable only if it falls within a recognized exception. See,
     e.g., United States v. Robinson, 414 U>S. 218, 224 (1973). That principle applies to the type of
     search at issue in this case, which involved a compelled physical intrusion beneath Taylor's skin
     and into his veins to obtain a sample of his blood for use as evidence in a criminal investigation.
Such an invasion of bodily integrity implicates an individual's "most personal and deep-rooted
expectations of privacy." Winston v. lee, 470 U.S. 753, 760 (1985); see also Skinner v. Railway
Labor Executives' Assn., 489 U.S. 602, 616 (1989).
We first considered the Fourth Amendment restrictions on such searches in Schmerber, where, as
in this case, a blood sample was drawn from a defendant suspected of driving while under the
influence of alcohol. 384 U.S., at 758. Noting that "[s]earch warrants are ordinarily required for
searches of dwellings," we reasoned that "absent an emergency, no less could be required where
intrusions into the human body are concerned," even when the search was conducted following a
lawful arrest. ld., at 770. We explained that the importance of requiring authorization by a
Ill   neutral and detached magistrate~~~ before allowing a law enforcement officer to "invade
another's body in search of evidence of guilt as indisputable and great." Ibid. (quoting Johnson v.
United States, 333 U.S. 10, 13-14 (1948)). Further, counsel did not preserve the Defendant's rights
in not objecting to the evidence being introduced into evidence by waiving the Defendant's right
to preserve the challenge to the evidence in error. Holmes v. State, 248 S.W.3d 194
(Tex.Crim.App.2008).
2) Counsel did not make the proper objections to the Jury Charge on the grounds that same fails to
allege an offense against this Defendant with that degree of certainty that will give Defendant
notice of the particular offense with which Defendant is charged in violation of Texas Code of
Criminal Procedure article 21.11, and fails to inform Defendant of the nature and cause of the
accusation against Defendant in violation of article I, section 10 of the Constitution of the State of
Texas, and the Sixth Amendment and Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the
United States in that said indictment fails to allege culpable mental state to determine the nature
of the offense [commit an offense hereafter styled the primary offense, in that said Defendant did
operate a motor vehicle in a public place in Brazoria County, Texas, to wit: a public roadway, while
intoxicated; and that the said Defendant has previously been convicted] is ground to quash the
indictment because the State did not prove the required elements as alleged in the Charge of the
Court [Our statute provides that any person who is intoxicated while driving or operating a motor
vehicle in a public place, and who has previously been convicted two or more times of the offense
of driving or operating a motor vehicle upon public road or in a public place while intoxicated,
commits the offense of Driving While Intoxicated- Felony] Counsel did not object to the Charge of
the Court that limits the State's burden of proof in misleading terms [All persons are presumed to
be innocent and no person may be be convicted unless each element of an offense is proved
beyond a reasonable doubt.] [The presumption of innocence alone is sufficient to acquit the
defendant, unless the jurors are satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt of the defendant's guilt after
careful and impartial consideration of all the evidence in the case.]
  The prosecution has the burden of proving the defendant guilty and it must do so by proving
each and every element of the offense charged beyond a reasonable doubt and if it fails to do so,
you must acquit the defendant.
  [It is not required that the prosecution proves guilt beyond all possible doubt; it is required that
the prosecution's proof excludes all"reasonable doubt" concerning the defendant's guilt.]
   Defendant alleges that the nature of the wording is a cause of the fact findings for the jury to
determine the meaning of the instruction that causes the minds to question the law that has been
interpreted to the jurors to understand in a specified way.

   (3) Issues on motion to quash are now: (1) whether notice was adequate to prepare defense; (2)
whether there was an actual impact on ability to prepare dense; (3) extent of impact. Adams v. State,
707 S.W.2d 900 (Tex.Crim.App.1986); Walters v. State, 704 S.W.2d 330 (Tex.Crim.App.1986). See also
Sanchez v. State, 120 S.W.3d 369 (Tex.Crim.App.2003).

 The trial court erred in that the evidence was insufficient to sustain the conviction for driving while
 intoxicated. Rouse v. State, 651 S.W.2d 736 (Tex.Crim.App.1983) A parking lot is not a public road for
 purposes of driving while intoxicated; nevertheless, the evidence may prove the existence of a road
 running through the parking lot.

  Counsel did not make any attempts to research the law in this area to properly investigate a possible
 defense. Nelson, 628 S.W.2d 451 (Tex.Crim.App.1982) The State showed that the defendant was
 intoxicated and drove into a ditch. The evidence was insufficient to show that she drove on a public
 road or highway to get into the ditch.

  In the instant case, the State did not introduce evidence sufficient to prove the required element, it
 was not shown that the defendant drove on a public highway. Shaw v. State, 622 S.W.2d 862
 (Tex.Crim.App.1981).

  The defendant must be granted a new trial, or a new trial on punishment, for any of the following
 reasons:

  (b) when the court has misdirected the jury about the law or has committed some other material
 error likely to injure the defendant's rights;

  (c) when the verdict has been decided by lot or in any manner other than a fair expression of the
jurors' opinion;

  (h) when the verdict is contrary to the law and the evidence.

   Counsel did not file a motion to quash the enhancement paragraphs on the grounds that it was over
10 years between the dates of the offense on or about the 8th day of November, 1979, in the County
Court at Law No. 9 of Harris County, Texas, Cause No. 0570076 and the offense on or about the 4th day
of May, 1995, in the County Court of Austin County, Texas, Cause No. 13014, the said Defendant was
duly and legally convicted of an offense of driving while intoxicated. Howard v. State, 137 S.W.3d 282
 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 2004, pet. ref d) The evidence was insufficient to prove felony OWl because,
during the ten years after the defendant's first OWl conviction, he did not get another OWl conviction.
The earlier conviction was therefore not available for enhancement.

  In the instant case, counsel misled his client in the punishment proceedings in changing the election
 of punishment that caused harm to the outcome of the proceedings in error. Ex parte Walker, 794
S.W.2d 36 (Tex.Crim.App.1990) The defendant received ineffective assistance of counsel where in
attorney, after recommending jury sentencing and preparing an election for the jury to set
punishment, failed to file the election at the proper time. (His attempt at untimely filing was rejected
by the trial court.)

  Defendant alleges that he was denied the right to effective assistance of counsel. Defendant's
conviction was void because counsel did not render effective assistance. Ex parte Walker, 777 S. W .2d
427 (Tex.Crim.App.1989) The defendant's sentence was set aside because of ineffective assistance of
counsel on punishment.

 There has been a serious error committed by counsel's failure to preserve error in that the State re-
indicted the defendant before trial because of the indictment preparation concerning the
enhancement paragraphs per se and no ten day notice or waiver appears in the trial court's records
pursuant to Article 28.10(c) Code of Criminal Procedure. Defendant's conviction was void because the
court-appointed attorney was not allowed ten days to prepare for trial and there was no waiver of
right accorded defendant by statute. Ex parte Gudel, 368 S.W.2d 775 (Tex.Crim.App.1963) Denial of
the ten days allowed court appointed counsel to prepare for trial violated the statute and infringed the
rights of the accused to the assistance of counsel for his defense under the Sixth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States. Under the record, the conviction cannot stand. See Exhibits attached
Zach Maloney filed on August 17, 2015, letter received additional discovery in Cause No. 73922

 Defendant argues that (1)defense Counsel's performance fell below an objective standard of
reasonableness and (2) there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's unprofessional error(s),
the result of the proceeding would have been different. Defendant argues that if, he knew the law in
this area he would not have allowed the attorney to misled him into changing the election to allow the
jury to sentence him and was not with the understanding of the law pursuant to enhancement
paragraph use. See Texas Penal Code section 49.09. Enhanced Offenses & Penalties

 (g) A conviction may be used for purposes of enhancement under this section or enhancement under
Subchapter D, Chapter 12, but not under both this section and Subchapter D.

 Defendant argues that the trial court committed error in assessing the sentence by using the
enhancements to enhance the misdemeanor OWl to a felony that the statute does not allow to use
both for punishment purposes under Chapter D Texas Penal Code section 12.42(0) See Ex parte Miller,
310 S.W.3d     (Tex.Crim.App.2011).

 Defendant moves to withdraw his plea of the change of punishment due to the on the grounds that
the attorney mislead him in the area of the statute supra. Defendant has reason to believe that there
was an issue that counsel failed to consider in his judgment in his representation of his client in error
and he would not have make this error if he knew the law.

 For the foregoing reasons, this Court should find that the Defendant is entitled to a new trial on guilt
and innocence and/or both on punishment. Or in the alternative find that the Defendant is entitled to
new trial pursuant to ineffective assistance of counsel.
  WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendant prays that this Court will grant a hearing to develop
the evidence to support his ineffective assistance of counsel claim against the court appointed counsel
by setting these matters before the 75th day period and after hearing the evidence grant new trial on
the merits. Or in the alternative, grant additional relief justly entitled.

To: Joseph Lee Taylor, Defendant

PURSUANT TO ART. 26.13 C.C.P., YOU ARE HEREBY ADMONISHED BY THE COURT IN WRITING AS FOLLOWS:

1.    You are charged with the felony offenses(s): Driving While Intoxicated 3rd or More-Habitual

2.    If convicted, you face the following range of punishment:
     ( ) First Degree Felony: A term of life or any term of not more than 99 years or less than 5 years in the Institutional Division of the
           Texas Department of Criminal Justice; and, in addition, a possible fine not to exceed $10,000.00
     ( ) Second Degree Felony: A term of not more than 20 years or less than 2 years in the Institutional Division of the Texas
           Department of Criminal Justice; and, in addition, a possible fme not to exceed $10,000.00
 J€14'     Third Degree Felony: A term of not more than 10 years or less than 2 years in the Institutional Division of the Texas
           Department of Criminal Justice; and, in addition, a possible fme not to exceed $10,000.00
     ( ) State Jail Felony: A term of not more than 2 years or less than 180 days in a state jail; and, in addition, a possible fine not to
           exceed $10,000.00
     ( ) State Jail Felony punished under Section 12.44 (a) Penal Code: Up to I year in the county jail

3.   Plea Bargains: If no plea bargain exists, the recommendation of the prosecuting attorney is not binding on the Court. If a plea
     bargain does exist, the Court will inform you whether it will follow the agreement in open court and before any fmding on your plea.
     Should the Court reject the agreement, you will be entitled to withdraw your plea.
4. Permission to Appeal: Where your plea of guilty or nolo contendere (no contest) is voluntarily and understandingly entered with a
     plea bargain agreement and the punishment assessed does not exceed the agreement between you and the prosecutor, the Court must
     give permission before you can appeal on any matter in the case except for those matters raised by written motion filed and ruled on
     prior to trial. Where your plea of guilty or nolo contendere is voluntarily and understandingly entered without a plea bargain
     agreement, the plea waives or forfeits the right to appeal a claim of error pertaining to guilty only when the judgment of guilt was
     rendered independent of, and is not supported by, the error claimed.
5. Citizenship: If you are not a United States citizen, a plea of guilty or nolo contendere may result in deportation, exclusion from
     admission to this Country, or denial of naturalization under federal law.
6. Deferred Adjudication: If the Court defers adjudicating your guilt and places you on community supervision, a violation of any
     condition of community supervision may result in proceedings being initiated whereby you are arrested and detained, as provided by
     law, for a hearing by the Court limited to a determination of whether to proceed with an adjudication of guilt on the original charge.
     After adjudication of guilt, all proceedings including pronouncement of sentence, granting of community supervision and your right
     to appeal continue as if adjudication of guilt has not been deferred. In addition, after adjudication of guilt, the punishment assessed
     may be any term within the range for the offense(s) and is not limited to the term of community supervision. If you successfully
     complete the deferred adjudication probation, you may have the right to petition the Court for an order of nondisclosure under
     Section 411.081, Government Code, unless you are ineligible to plirsue that right because of the nature of the offense for which you
     were placed on deferred adjudication community supervision, or your criminal history.

     registration under the Sex Offender Registration Program (Chapter 62 C.C.P.), you will be required to meet those registration

       Our statute provides that any person who is intoxicated while driving or operating a

motor vehicle in a public place, and who has previously been convicted two or more times

of the oftense of driving or operating a motor vehicle upon a public road or in a public place

while intoxicated, commits the offense of Driving While Intoxicated- Felony.

       "Public place" means any place to which the public or a substantial group of the

public has access and includes, but is not limited to, streets and highways.

       "Motor vehicle" means a device in, on, or by which a person or property is or may be

transported or drawn on a highway.




                                               1
       The tenn "Intoxicated" means not having the nonnal use of mental or physical

faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol into the body, or by having an alcohol

concentration of0.08 or more.

      Now bearing in mind the foregoing instructions, if you believe from the evidence

beyond a reasonable doubt. that the defendant, JOSEPH LEE TAYLOR, on or about the

3rd day of April, 2014, and before the presentment of this indictment, in the County and

State aforesaid, did then and there commit an offense hereafter styled the primary offense,

in that said Defendant did operate a motor vehicle in a public place in Brazoria County.

Texas, to wit: a public roadway, while        intoxicated~   and that the said Defendant has

previously been convicted of the following:

      on or about the 8th day of November, 1979, in the County Court at Law No. 9 of

Harris County, Texas, Cause No. 0570076, the said Defendant was duly and legally

convicted of an offense of driving while intoxicated;

      on or about the lOth day of October, 1979, in the County Court at Law No. 9 of

Harris County, Texas, Cause No. 0557965, the said Defendant was duly and legally

convicted of an offense of driving while intoxicated;

      on or about the 4th day of May, 1995, in the County Court of Austin County,

Texas, Cause No. 130l4, the said Defendant was duly and legally convicted of an offense

of driving while intoxicated;

       on or about the 20th day of April, 2005, in the County Court at Law No. 3 of

Brazoria County, Texas, Cause No. 1374288, the said Defendant was duly and legally

convicted of an offense of driving while intoxicated;

                                               2
       on or about the 4th day of November, 2009, in the I 77th District Court of Harris

County, Texas, Cause No. 1239426, the said Defendant was duly and legally convicted of

an offense of driving while intoxicated then you will find the defendant, JOSEPH LEE

TAYLOR, guilty of the offense of Driving While Intoxicated 3rct, or More, as set forth in

the indictment.

              Unless you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the

Defendant is guilty, or if you have a reasonable doubt thereat: you will acquit the Defendant

of Driving While Intoxicated 3rd or More and say by your verdict not guilty.

       You arc further instructed that these five (5) prior convictions, if any, are to be

considered for jurisdictional purposes only, and cannot be considered by you as a

circumstance tending to prove that the Defendant was operating a motor vehicle in a public

place while intoxicated on or about April 3, 2014.

       All persons are presumed to be innocent and no person may be convicted unless each

clement of an offense is proved beyond a reasonable doubt. The fact that a defendant has

been arrested, confined, or indicted for, or otherwise charged with an offense gives rise to

no inference of guilt at his trial.    The law does not require a defendant to prove his

innocence or produce any evidence at all. The presumption of innocence alone is sufficient

to acquit the defendant, unless the jurors arc satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt of the

defendant's guilt after careful and impartial consideration of all the evidence in the case.

       The prosecution has the burden of proving the defendant guilty and it must do so by

proving each and every element of the offense charged beyond a reasonable doubt and if it

                                               3
fails to do so, you must acquit the defendant.

       It is not required that the prosecution proves guilt beyond all possible doubt; it is

required that the prosecution's proof excludes all "reasonable doubt" concerning the

defendant's guilt

       In the event you have a reasonable doubt as to the defendant's guilt after considering

all the evidence before you, and these instructions, you will acquit him and say by your

verdict "Not Guilty".

       You are limited m your deliberations upon a verdict to the consideration and

discussion of such facts and circumstances only as were admitted in evidence, or as are

reasonably deducible from the evidence, and no juror is permitted to communicate to any

other juror anything she or he may have heard regarding the case or any witness therein,

from any source other than the witness stand. In deliberating on the cause you are not to

refer to or discuss any matter or issue not in evidence before you; nor talk about this case to

anyone not of your jury.

       During your deliberations you are instructed that you should not consider the

remarks, rulings or actions of the judge presiding during this trial as any indication of the

Court's opinion as to the existence or nonexistence of any fact or as an indication of the

Court's opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant.

       You are the exclusive judges of the facts proved, of the credibility of the witnesses,

and of the weight to be given to the testimony, but you are bound to receive the law from

the Court which is herein given you and be governed thereby.

       You have been pennitted to take notes during the testimony in this case. In the event

                                                 4
        any of you took notes, you may rely on your notes during your deliberations. However, you

        may not share your notes with the other jurors and you should not permit the other jurors to

        share their notes with you. You may not use your notes as authority to persuade your fellow

        jurors. In your deliberations, give no more and no less weight to the views of a fellow juror

        just because that juror did or did not take notes. Your notes are not official transcripts.

        They are personal memory aids, just like the notes of the judge and the notes of the lawyers.

        Notes are valuable as a stimulant to your memory. On the other hand, you might make an

        error in observing or you might make a mistake in recording what you have seen or heard.

               Your deliberations at this time are limited solely to the issue of the guilt or innocence

        of the defendant of the offense charged, and you are not authorized to discuss punishment,

        if any, to be imposed.

               After argument of counsel, you will retire and select one of your members as your

        presiding juror. It is her or his duty to preside at your deliberations and to vote with you in

        arriving at a verdict. Your verdict must be unanimous, and after you have arrived at your

        verdict, you may use the forms attached hereto by having your presiding juror sign her or

        his name. Your presiding juror will sign one form only.

               After you have retired to consider your verdict, no one has the authority to

        communicate with you except the officer, bailiff of the Court, who has you in charge. In the

        event you desire to communicate with the Court on any matter in connection with your

        deliberations, your presiding juror will notify the bailiff: who will inform the Court thereof:

        Any communication relative to the cause must be written, signed by the presiding juror and
