The document is a legal petition for review filed by Gilbert Gomez against the Texas Education Agency and its Commissioner, Robert Scott, regarding the revocation of his educator certificate. The case stems from allegations of indecent exposure that occurred in 2003, which led to an administrative law judge's (ALJ) initial finding that there was no basis for revocation due to lack of a criminal conviction. However, the State Board for Educator Certification later reversed this decision, asserting that Gomez's conduct constituted moral turpitude and rendered him unworthy to instruct. The document outlines the procedural history, jurisdictional statements, issues presented, and arguments supporting Gomez's claim that the Board exceeded its authority and violated expunction laws by admitting testimony related to his arrest. Ultimately, the Texas Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's judgment upholding the Board's decision.
