Brian Keith Crownover was convicted of failing to comply with sex offender registration requirements, following his conviction for sexual assault in 1997, which mandated his registration. The jury's verdict resulted in a four-year sentence. Crownover's appeal centers on the claim that the evidence was legally insufficient to support his conviction. Key points include: - Crownover was required to report any change of address to the Fort Worth Police Department at least seven days prior to moving, as stipulated by Texas law. - He initially registered his address as 2521 Aiken Lane and verified it as his residence as recently as September 2004. - From November 2004 to February 2005, police made three attempts to verify his address, during which they were unable to locate him. The last two visits confirmed the house appeared uninhabited. - An investigation revealed the property had been sold at a foreclosure auction in January 2005. - Crownover failed to update his address after September 2004. The court evaluated the evidence in favor of the verdict, concluding that a rational juror could have determined Crownover did not reside at the registered address and thus violated registration laws. Consequently, the appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, overruling Crownover's appeal.
