Summary of the Argument
Appellant complains that He received meflective assistance of Counsel during the pre-sentence investigation reading. - Whete the record reflects what Counsel 1) failed to object to unsuen viction impact statement admitted into evidence before sentenaiag and 2) failed to object to ceuel and unusual punishment when He was sentenced to tiventyfive years.

Finally the appellant complains that the Trial Court Effered in Aceepting letters continuing unsuown victim impact statement which were Admitted into Evidence before Sentenang.

Appellants First Point of Error
Appellant Recevied welfective assistance of Counsel at his Fte-Sentence investigation Heating where counsel is failed to object to unsuverm victim impact statement entered into evidence before sentening and 2) failed to object to the twenty-five year sentence. 42 equal but unusual investment in relation of the Equib. Amendment, where the record indicate the Appellant was Eligible the Probatios.
The Stendilant test was appiles to the porsiment phase of a non-capital veial. See Hounsider v. State, 988.3 W. 2d 53. Tev. App. 1999) gestalting Ex parte Dutly 6073 W . 2 d 507 516 Tev.Can App. 1980) establishing test the welfective assistance of counsel in porsiment phase of non-capital. teval.) use now apply the same two-group stendilant standard of Review the welfective assistance of counsel makes in both the quill/avidence phase of teval and the porsiment phase of Teval. Hounsider v. State 7263 W . 2d 52,55. Tev.Can. App. 1986).
To show welfective assistance of counsel at porsiment the appellant must best demonstrate counsel's apdessentation tell below an objective statement of zeessurititues under prevailing professional ideas. See Stendilant v. Washington see U.S. 608, 1043.01 3052 306 Ed. 2d 674 (1984) McFarland v. State 4983 W . 2d 452500 Tev. Com App. 1986. Counsel's competence is presented and the appetant must debut this assessment by describing the acts of conssions of counsel that are alleged as welfective and debentively passive that they tell below the professional ideas of zeessurititues. See, Mc Farland 4293 W . 2 d 4500 N welfectiveness claim. Cawson to cearonstented by isolating any portion of counsel's depdessentation, but is judge on the totality of the depdessentation see, Stendilant 166 U.S. at 688104 3.01 at 0065.
The Suppose Couet has held what counsel's deficiest performance that resulted in a higher Sentence under cetermising guidelines constitutes prejudice Glovek v. United States 831 US. 198 (2001).
*11 Counsels Representato Tell Below An Objective Standard Reasoudderss.
In the instant case, appellant agnes that be received. mePloctice assistance of counsel where counsel is failed to object to unsuccow victim impact statement consumed within the per-sectence investigation Report and within letter to the Court that were entered into evidence before senteming and to failed to make an Eaith Amendment Objectio Hestity urdling appellate Review, where the appellant received tseetty the ueats.
O Mulue to Opectiof to unsucoen victim Iapact Statement Admitted into Evidence betor Sentencing.
In Q180ard v State 550 S. 40. 24 291 (Tex. Cen App. Houston. Pust 1398.981881) the TTest Coust of Dppeal Reveessed and Remanded the a new Dutishmeat heding, where counsel the the detecse 1) failed to object to unsucoen victim impact statement made betore sentencing and 2) did not ask to conduct ceras- EAmintion, the Court wited in Q180ard. clearly, the FARERS statement having been made nothge Dutishmeat was assessed did not qualify as a statement being made under aeticle 4.503 24 simply failed to meet the guidelines establish by that article.
Consequently, the ypial coust should not have allow the statement to coug betore the prooucement of sentence.
In addition article 37.07 of the Tex. Code of Cen Pooc. does not Authorize the use of such a statement. Tex. Code Cen. Rece. Ann Aet. 37.07, while we Recognize that the Trial Court has pepard disceetion under aeticle 37.07 to decide what is Pelevant to sentencing, wee last nothing. in the article to lead us to conclude that legislative intended to allow an unsucoen statement at the peristment heding. See 10.
A victim-impact statement, as authorized by the United States Superef. Court in Plywie v. Tennessee 501 U.S. 908, 897 U.S.Ct. 115 L. Ed. 720 (1991) and by the Texas Court of Cerminal Appenl in Fad U. State 919 S. 40. 2d 107, 114-16 Tex. Cen App. (1996) is testimony given under coth and Capable of being ceras-examined.
*12 Iv should have object and the Tral Court should not have allowed the statement to be given, see id.
With regard the welfective assistance of coumest claim the court listed "the teial coumself failure to object to have been welfective assistance," appellant must demonstrate what if he had objection "Vauquy v. State 355 S. w. 2d 6074. Tex. App. Anustow. Fost (194) 1949 431 S. w. 2d 504 Tex. Eern App. 1949) we believe that if Griflads Teial Coumest need objectod we the victial impact statement we Teral Court would have edded in overfulting the objectifal Thes Griflord has demonstrated that his teial coumself was welfoctive. See id.

His trekee was excused and the state agreed that the state had provided to the court with some letters which had been teuddered to the believe (C.R.I-10) The betence had no objection to the letters being admitted to the P.S.I. Repolet. (C.R. II-10)
States Exhiclt 1 the P.S.I. Report was entered into evidence, pruR to senteuring. (C.R. II-12).
The letters Thom marisa C. Maribel G. and Maribel the complaining witness appear in Court Repotts Volume IV pages 24 theouah 39 and retled thee view about the cirtence, the defendant and the cirtence on the victim.
Specifically the letter signed by Maribol G. stated that the stress is overuheling the feel like hef Eaend will nequs to judge her, and she request what the appellant be senteured to life in person without parale (C.R.11-35) the letter signed by Maribel G. stated that she hate what the appellant was given enough time to veuly charge (C.R.1U-36) The letter. signed by. Maribel states that the appetant should go to person and stay there for life. C.RIV-37.
*13 However, as previously mentioned the Delpuse failed to object to thefe atressely under Article 4203, 59, 161 of the Tex. Code of Com. Dose. The Tens. Code of Censual Procedure Authorize a count to beceuse victim statements see Tex. Code Cenn Dose. Any def. 42, 63 See 161 (Vernon lamp Supp. 2013) but as shown below the legislature has seweekly limited the use and impact of the statement by requiring that it be made after pussament has been assessed: (b) the count shall permit a victim close belpive of a deceased victim of quaddin of a victim as defined by Article 50, 61 of this Code to appear in person to present to the count and to the defendant a statement of the person's view. and the offence the defendant and the effect of the offence on the victim, the victim Relative of quaddin may not direct question to the defendant while making the statement the count reppetite may not reassemble the statement The statement must be made: (c) After pussament has been assessed and the count has determined whether of not to speak communty, supression is the case (d) After the count has announced the terms and condition of the sentence (f) After sentence is pronounced:
The complained of unsucced victim impact statement contained within the letters weke entered into evidence (1) before pussament was assessed, (2) before the count announced the terms and condition of the sentence and (3) before sentence was pronounced.
Clearly, there unsucced victim impact statement did not qualify as adressive statement under Article 42, 63 See 61. Consequently, believe counsel should have objected to the States withoution of the letter conbining unsucced victim impact statement into evidence.
As previously noted, failure to object to a victim impact statement made before sentinging has been held with the Assurance of counsel and preventible effect. Suffered v. 3446, 4803, 40, of 74 (tex. 492-4003) (Post 1995, set 4863) see Tainson v. State 250 S. W. 344 (tex. 6210, 499-5003).
*14 Judae had no disceptus we impose Jail time as a condition of propitial after Judae heard unswept and uncons-eminined victim Allocution including statement that victim wail detbated up to 4010 Jail. (a) Failure to object to the 26 year sentence as casei and unusual investment.
Detease counsel failed to object to the appellant's sentence 26 year of person the approded setual assuited of a child 14 year of age as deyet and unusual investment, under the English Amoutment. Failure to cause an Eighth Amoutment objection of Troll present making any such claim on appeal. See Trol. 2, pp. 2-33. (a) (1) App. v. State No. 3, U.S. 201400 487. Trol. 2, pp. 245. (b) Failure to deeevive eegor pos. toceal held to alternative assistance of counsel. Moutter. v. State 324.3, U.S. 201508 (Tral. App. 324 Autonno 1890 report.)
Appellant argues that weibative assistance of counsel is no case the equivalent of denial of counsel and what He should be granted another the Seetance Investigation bearing
The beackment the finding a child of weibative assistance 13 whether counsel's conduct to understand the people Amotivising of the adverssarial process what a Trol. could not be relied on having produced a just result. Sheeckland v. Washington 126 U.S. 608, 104 S.C. 2082, 80 L. Ed. 2d. 674 (1859) To establish weibative assistance of counsel is the quity, unvovable cause of Trol. 244
Appellant must chew what a pos. counsel's pettiemce was deteined 18 counsel eekors were so serious what he was not functioning as the counsel quenerve by the such impediment and (a) the deteined pettiemce dejudiced the detance 18, observed from of a true Tral. 2d. 687. See Reeubater v. State 726.3, U.S. 53,55 Tral. App 1880.).
These eekors demotivable (1) the appellants, counsel's pettiemce was untewably deteined 18 counsel's eekors were so serious what he was not involving as the counsel quenerive by the 3140 Amoutment and (2) the deteined pettiemce peejudice the detance 18, observed from of a true Tral. 2d. 687.

Appellant must shew not only what his attorney failed to proude. Peasovably professional assistace, but what appellant was thereby banned by counsel's failure. Stackland v. Wiskumston 34 ppa. The standard the Reversible error is whethed sudgins. From the record as a whole, where is a reasonable probability what but the counsel's unprofessional error, the result of the proceedings would have been different. Stackland v. Wiskumston 34 ppa. In dislusive the harm to appellant this could should pressure what the trial court and you would have acted according to the law. Stackland v. Wiskumston 34 ppa. However, appellant would noted what showing Harm, He is not required to show what he received. Peasovably professional representation then more likely than not a different outcome would have resulted. All v. Whiteside 475 U.S. 157 101a S.Ct 985.981 .Ed. 3d 129 (1953).
Appellant received ineffective assistance of counsel at his free-settence Investigation Hearing.
This Caret should precess appellant's conviction and demand the case for whether procedure. In E. App. P. 42.2(d) Vewow Amph 3018): Te. E. App P 44.2(a) Vewow Amph 3018). Tabs v. Pheida 457 U.S. 31, 102 S.Ct 2241,78 L.Ed. 2d 1053 (1982) Meekr V. State 785 S. 41, 2d 146 Tev. Cem. App. 1990.

Appellant Second Front of Eerice
Appellant Received Devel and unusual Enrichment whege the Second Partents that He Received tuxenty-five T.D.C. But WAS Eligible the Reapation.
Appellant is avape that failure to Raise an Eeath Amendment objection of Teral prevent making any such claim on apocal. See Tex. 8. Bpp. P. 33.100. Curery is State 210 3.10, 3d 4.40, 4.47 (Tex. Cerm. App. 1996).
However the Term Rules of Evidence Decide that in a Cermural case nothing of the rules precludes which Abree of fundamental ecroses affecting substantial rights Although they were not brought to the attention of the Court. Tex. R. Cerm. Evid 103(d).
Appellant codiered 3 that his strategy is disprepperable to the ussense the which He was charge and isolated the Eeath Anentment in the United States (distribution of perchinting, clevel and unusual Enrichment whece the second Pettents that He received a twenty-five year passow searence from the Court. Appellant codiered that there is evidence in the record, is desprised by Selem V. Holin 463 (4.3.277(1983) Reflecting Secreates imposed on Similar Offences. IN TEXAS of Office Tuesidictial, See Selem V. Holin 463 (13 277.103.3.Ct. 3001, 77 L. Ed. 3d 637 (1953).
The Second Pettents that He gave, the Appellant has never been convicted in this state be any other state of a belowy Offense (C R. III-4) He indicated that he had vewing boud placed on abous adult peopleow in this state be any other state in the United States (C R. III-5.4) He wige agreed that he did awily in an offense because he was suily and that He was quilly and askins the Cever for Merey (C R. III-4) He bowe that he would be able to work and suypost his dependen and follow the causes Rules (C R. III-4) He. were indicated that he was able to report cure a month and working done suubtarting working as a plarator and makes BDSM Manly (C R. III-4.5) He wige added that he had too dopuclied five of them are teenspees, and the least ake little was (C.R. III-5).
*17 MR. WYee stated that he has six natural children and the complanant were not his children. (F. III-5) He stated that if he was given a second chance, he would be a better father. (F. III-5) Me. WYee stated that he was forty-two year old (F. III-5).
The record further reflects what MR. WYee was eligible for probation and filed a hotter for Hebation with the Court prior to the P.S.I hearing. (A I-24).
Appellant contend that a twenty-five year sentence is grossly dispeepoetionate to the crime is light of the fact that he has no prior felony convictions and HAS never been granted adult probation in this or any other state in the United States. The fact that the apptant was eligible for probation indicate that other, accused of the same offence have been granted probation. WYus reflecting sentences imposed on Similie Othuse in Texas or other jurisdiction see Sakon K. Helm, 463 U.S. 277,103 S.C. 3021,77 L.Ed 2 d (437 (683).
