THOMAS ANDREW SHERRILL, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 282nd Judicial District Court

Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court No. F03-84325-HS

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

Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Thomas Andrew Sherrill appeals from his conviction of indecency with a child. Five indictments were tried together. Sherrill pled nolo contendere, or no contest, to the charges. Following a bench trial, the trial court sentenced Sherrill to twenty years' imprisonment for the charge of indecency to a child. The cases have been appealed separately and have been briefed together.

Because the briefs and arguments raised therein are identical in all five appeals, for the reasons stated in Sherrill v. State, No. 06-05-00159-CR, we likewise resolve the issues in this appeal in favor of the State.

We affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Jack Carter
