NATHANIEL NORRIS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 76th District Court Morris County, Texas
Trial Court No. 11,425CR Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Nathaniel Norris was convicted by a jury of aggravated sexual assault of a child and sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. On appeal, Norris argues that the trial court erred (1) in admitting allegedly unauthenticated Facebook Messenger texts sent by cell phone and (2) in assessing court costs in this case, and all companion cases, even though they were consolidated for trial.
Norris also appeals one conviction of indecency with a child entered in companion cause number 06-16-00150-CR, and three convictions of sexual assault of a child entered in companion cause numbers 06-16-00151-CR, 06-16-00152-CR, and 06-16-00153-CR.
We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on Norris' appeal in cause number 06-16-00150-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in overruling Norris' objection of improper authentication in this case, and further find that Norris' second issue is moot.
We affirm the trial court's judgment.
