Robert Alan Young, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the Court of Appeals’ judgment, holding that a jury in a sex‑offender registration case must reach a unanimous finding that the defendant failed to report a change of address, but unanimity is not required on whether the failure occurred before or after the move. The court reasoned that the statutory offense is a single “failure to report” with alternative manners, and therefore the jury charge was proper.
