V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 188th Judicial District Court

Gregg County, Texas

Trial Court No. 31574-A

Before Morriss, C.J., Ross and Carter, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Shawn Jeffrey Sheppard appeals from his conviction on his open plea of guilty to the charge of possession of a firearm by a felon, with habitual offender enhancement. The trial court assessed his punishment at forty years' imprisonment. During the same proceeding, Sheppard also pled guilty to charges of robbery and habitual theft. He has appealed from the former charge, which is also decided this day in our opinion in Sheppard v. State, cause number 06-04-00091-CR. He did not appeal from his conviction for habitual theft.

The record, the briefs, and the issue raised in this case are identical to those addressed in our opinion this day in cause number 06-04-00091-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise affirm the judgment in this case.

Josh R. Morriss, III
