Many-to-one field in search

I am trying to make an EmailField variant which:

1: Is based on TEXT rather than VARCHAR, and

2: May be in a many-to-one relationship with entity.

I presently have:

class TextEmailField(models.EmailField):
    entity = models.ForeignKey(Entity)
    def __init__(self, *arguments, **keywords):
        models.EmailField.__init__(self, *arguments, **keywords)
    def get_internal_type(self):
        return u'TextField'

A search for emails for a given Entity id is:

    emails = directory.models.TextEmailField.objects.filter(entity__exact =
      id).all()

This is getting the error below. My best interpretation is that I'm attempting an operation on a field that is only defined for models. Is this correct? How should I be remedying it?
