Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas


Scott v. State of Texas, PD-1069-09

In a prosecution of defendant for harassment, court of appeals' reversal of the conviction in holding that two subsections of a harassment statute, Texas Penal Code section 42.07 were unconstitutionally vague on their face, is reversed and remanded as, because section 42.07(a)(4) does not implicate the free-speech guarantee of the First Amendment, defendant, in making his vagueness challenge to that statutory subsection, was required to show that it was unduly vague as applied to his own conduct, which defendant has not done.
