he eleents charged n the nforaton ndicate that resondent was

initially charged wth assault faily voence under Section 220 (b)()(B) of the exas

Penal Code However without more infraton t is dicut to deterne under what

statute resondent was convicted If the secfic rovsio under which an alien was

convcted is indiscernble fro the record, the convcton will be found to be a CIMT ony

if the full range of conduct rohbted by the statute suorts such a finding. Matter of

Solon 24 l&N Dec 4 As discussed above this s not true of Secton 220 of the

exas Penal Code and as such the odfied categorcal aroach does not indcate

that resondents crie s a crie involvng oral turtude

I addition the Court cannot fd that resondent has been convcted of a

cre involving oral turtude based only on the record of convicton because

resondents ental state and the degree of har inflcted s unclear. The statute of

convcton lsts three culable ental states (ntentonally knowngly recklessly) n the

disjunctive eanng that any one of the would suo a convction. he Board

The Government argues that this covictio s a crme voving oral

meaning assigne those terms by Section 30.01;

e) an oense uner subsection (a) is a Class misdemeanor an oense

uner subsection (b) is a felony of the thir egree

As fully iscussed above uner the categorical approach the Court

etermines whether there is a realistic probability that the statute coul be applie to

w ich conuct that oes not involve moral turpitue Matter of Silvarevino

If the language of the criminal statute encompasses both conduct that

involves moral turpitue an conuct that is not an there is a case in which the

relevant criminal statute has been applie to the latter category of conduct the statute is

ivisible an an Immigration uge cannot categorically treat all convictions uner the

statute as convictions r crimes that involve moral turpitue. Mat ter of Silva-revino

697

In responent's case tere is a realistic probability that Section 2205

woul encompass conuct that oes not quali as a crime involving moral turpitue asthe statute of language is consierably broa For example reckless conuct uner

Section 22.05(a) coul realistically inclue such conduct as ligting of fireworks in a

resiential area or riving a high rate of spee with a passenger in the car n either of

which woul likely be consiere turpituinous or inherently base vile or eprave

Matter of Oluin

hus, it woul appear tat Section 2205 is a ivisible statute in that it

covers convictions for a wie range of conuct both turpituinous and non

turpituinous As such the secon prong of Silvarevino must be consiered.
