RUBEN JAMES CARTER, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 182nd Judicial District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court No. 903441
Before Morriss, C.J., Ross and Carter, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Ruben Carter appeals his conviction for possession of a controlled substance, namely codeine. Carter was tried before a jury and the judge sentenced him to twenty years' imprisonment. This is a companion to another appeal also decided this day, in appeal number 06-02-00178-CR. Both convictions occurred in the same proceeding and were based on the same incident. The briefs and arguments raised therein are identical in both cases. Accordingly, for the reasons stated in our opinion in 06-02-00178-CR, we likewise affirm the judgment in this case.

The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
