““[O]n or about the 18th day of February, 1981, in the County of El Paso and State of Texas, the said defendant, DAVID WAYNE LABELLE, did then and there (unlawfully), intentionally remove a governmental record from the El Paso County Court Residential Treatment Center in violation of the above mentioned condition of probation [that he ‘commit no offense against the laws of this State or any other State, or of these United States’].” “Furthermore, on or about the 18th day of February in the County of El Paso and State of Texas, the said defendant, DAVID WAYNE LABELLE, did then and there unlawfully intentionally destroy a governmental record belonging to the El Paso County Adult Probation Department in violation of the abovemen-tioned condition of probation.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Labelle v. State““... in that it is vague and fails to give fair notice of the alleged violation because it fails to specify what law or laws Defendant is alleged to have violated, because it fails to specify what document alleged to be a governmental record Defendant is alleged to have removed and destroyed, and because it fails to identify the place where Defendant is alleged to have destroyed such document. These defects in the State’s Motion to Revoke probation constitute a denial of Defendant’s due process rights in that such Motion does not give Defendant sufficient information to properly defend against the charge made.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Labelle v. State“It is an exception to the application of this section that the conduct engaged in by the actor is a generally accepted and otherwise lawful ... form of conduct occurring solely for the purpose of ... wildlife management, wildlife or depredation control, or shooting preserve practices as regulated by state and federal law.”
