From the 240th District Court of Fort Bend County, No. 32179.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Following a plea of not guilty, appellant was convicted by a jury of indecency with a child and punishment was assessed at five years confinement and a $3000 fine, suspended for ten years. By a sole issue, appellant contends the trial court erred in denying his motion in limine to bar the testimony of Reverend Ronnie Linden. Based upon the rationale expressed herein, we affirm. We hold that appellant did not preserve his complaint for appellate review. It is well settled that the denial of a motion in limine is not sufficient to preserve error for review, but rather there must be a proper objection to the proffered evidence. McDuff v. State, 939 S.W.2d 607, 618 (Tex.Cr.App. 1997), cert. denied, 522 U.S. 844, 118 S.Ct. 125, 139 L.Ed.2d 75 (1997), citing Basham v. State, 608 S.W.2d 677, 679 (Tex.Cr.App. 1980). During Linden's direct testimony no objections were made, and upon cross-examination the only objection lodged by defense counsel was that the witness's answer was nonresponsive. Appellant's sole issue is overruled. Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
