In Texas Education Agency v. S.E.H. , No. 01-16-00420-CV, 571 S.W.3d 372, 2018 WL 6839727 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] Dec. 28, 2018, pet. filed), this Court, sitting en banc, held that a junior high school teacher who had solicited sex online from a person he believed to be a thirteen-year old girl, pleaded guilty to online solicitation of a minor, and was placed on community supervision was nevertheless entitled to have all records and files relating to his arrest expunged because the offense he pleaded guilty to violating was later held unconstitutional for overbreadth. I respectfully dissented to the en banc majoritys affirmance of the expunction order in S.E.H. , and I respectfully dissent to the majoritys affirmance of the expunction order in this case for the same reasons. See id. at 381-84, 2018 WL 6839727, at *7-10 (Lloyd, J., dissenting). As with S.E.H., I would find H.C.V. ineligible for expunction.

I agree with the majoritys decision to modify the expunction order to expressly allow Texas Education Agency and the Texas State Board of Educator Certification to retain a redacted version of the Proposal of Decision pertaining to H.C.V. Therefore, I concur with respect to Section II of the majority opinion.
