In a 6-3 decision, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ruled that “judicial clemency” does not exempt sex offenders from registration. The doctrine, established in 1965, allowed courts to dismiss charges and penalties after probation. Danny Richard Lane’s case exemplifies the issue; though he believed judicial clemency cleared his duty to register, the court ruled that only a pardon based on innocence or a conviction reversal can terminate this obligation.

The Registry Matters Podcast’s mission is to cover issues surrounding the Registry. We cover cases that will peel back the veneer of what we need to do to change our lives for the better. We cover news articles that spark conversations about the total insanity of this modern day witch hunt. This podcast will call out bad policy and call out those that are making bad policy.

To change things for the positive, we need to act. We are 6-7-8-900k strong. With that many people, plus their friends and family, over a million people are affected by the registry. We should be able to secure donations to hire lawyers and lobbyists to move the agenda in our favor. We need our people to be represented.
