Description
Melissa Kay Byrum appeals her misdemeanor conviction for the offense of public lewdness by sexual contact. TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. §Â§ 21.07 (3) & 21.01 (2) (Vernon 1974 & Supp. 1988). She waived her right to a jury trial for this and a related offense. The trial court found appellant guilty in this cause and assessed her punishment at thirty days punishment in the Harris County Jail, probated, and a $350 fine. Appellant raises five points of error. She questions the constitutionality of the statutes defining the offense and the sufficiency of the evidence. She further contends the trial court erred by admitting portions of the testimony of the States witness and by overruling her objections to the amended information. She also maintains that a fatal variance between the amended information and the complaint mandates a reversal of her conviction. We affirm.
