Ms. Mason, 49, of Fort Worth, had been charged with illegally voting in the 2016 general election by casting a provisional ballot while she was a felon on probation.
The Court of Criminal Appeals stated that the prosecution had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Ms. Mason knew she was ineligible to vote.
In its decision to reverse her conviction and acquit her, the Second Court of Appeals said that the prosecution did not have enough evidence to prove that she knew.
