 installed if the defendant was convicted.
 SECTION 3. Section 411.081(e), Government Code, is amended
 to read as follows:
 (e) A person is entitled to petition the court under
 Subsection (d) only if during the period of the deferred

 (a) Except as provided by Subsection (b), an offense under
 Section 49.04, 49.045, 49.05, 49.06, or 49.065 is a Class A
 misdemeanor, with a minimum term of confinement of 30 days, if it is
 shown on the trial of the offense that the person has previously
 been convicted one time of an offense relating to the operating of a
 motor vehicle while intoxicated, an offense of operating an
 aircraft while intoxicated, an offense of operating a watercraft
 while intoxicated, or an offense of operating or assembling an
 amusement ride while intoxicated.
 (b) An offense under Section 49.04, 49.045, 49.05, 49.06, or

 (g) A conviction may be used for purposes of enhancement
 under this section or enhancement under Subchapter D, Chapter 12,
 but not under both this section and Subchapter D. A deferred
 adjudication for an offense under Section 49.04, 49.045, 49.05,

 enhancement of penalties under this section or Subchapter D,
 Chapter 12.
 SECTION 5. The change in law made by this Act applies only
 to an offense committed on or after the effective date of this Act.
 An offense committed before the effective date of this Act is
 governed 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 was
 committed before that date.
 SECTION 6. This Act takes effect September 1, 2009.
