EX PARTE RANDY LOUIS DUPREE V. THE STATE OF TEXAS

— STAFF
Having failed to show the requirement that he wear a GPS monitor was unconstitutional as applied to him—either in illegally restraining his movement or being punitive in nature—Dupree cannot establish the trial court abused its discretion by summarily dismissing his application for writ of habeas corpus.
