| follows: | ||
| (b) An offense under this section is a Class B misdemeanor, | ||

| trial of the offense that the defendant has been previously | ||
| convicted two or more times of an offense under this section. | ||
| (c) For purposes of Subsection (b), a defendant has been | ||
| previously convicted under this section if the defendant was | ||
| adjudged guilty of the offense or entered a plea of guilty or nolo | ||
| contendere in return for a grant of deferred adjudication, | ||

| or whether the sentence was probated and the defendant was | ||
| subsequently discharged from community supervision. | ||
| SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only | ||
| to an offense committed on or after the effective date of this Act. | ||

| covered by the law in effect when the offense was committed, and the | ||
| former law is continued in effect for that purpose. For purposes of | ||
| this section, an offense was committed before the effective date of | ||
| this Act if any element of the offense occurred before that date. | ||
