Kachel v. Texas (original by judge keasler)
Annotate this CaseThe State charged Donnie Kachel with indecency with a child by exposure. After initially denying his presence at the scene, Kachel admitted to changing clothes in the street outside the victim’s home, but claimed that he saw only an adult woman and requested a lesser-included instruction on indecent exposure. The judge denied the request, and the court of appeals affirmed. Because there was some evidence that Kachel exposed himself only to an adult, the Court of Criminal Appeals reversed and remand the cause to the court of appeals for a harm analysis.
