Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

What recourse does a defendant in a criminal case have if a judge refuses to rule according to the statute governing an alleged crime? For instance, if the statute says that if any element of the crime occurred before a certain date, then the crime is a misdemeanor (and the facts clearly show this) and the judge refuses to defer to the statute, what can be done?
