ROBERT BRICE DAUGHERTY, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 6th District Court Lamar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 25886
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Robert Brice Daugherty appeals his life sentence for possession of methamphetamine, with intent to deliver, in an amount of four or more grams, but less than 200 grams. Daugherty's sole point of error claims he received ineffective assistance of counsel when his trial attorney failed to inform him about a plea offer made by the State. We overrule Daugherty's point of error and affirm the trial court's sentence.
Daugherty pled guilty to three indictments in one proceeding. The trial court heard evidence on all three cases and sentenced Daugherty to life imprisonment in each case, with the sentences ordered to run concurrently. In a single brief, Daugherty claims his first of two trial attorneys was ineffective, by failing to tell him of a plea offer covering all three indictments under which the State would recommend a sentence of forty years. We addressed the merits of that claim in our opinion in cause number 06-15-00038-CR, issued contemporaneously with this opinion. For the reasons detailed in that opinion, we likewise overrule Daugherty's point of error in this appeal.
We affirm the trial court's judgment and sentence.
