In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
______________________________
No. 06-05-00164-CR
______________________________
SHELDON ROBERTS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 283rd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court No. F-0473255-MT
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter
MEMORANDUM OPINION

A jury found Sheldon Roberts guilty of capital murder. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. 19.03 (Vernon Supp. 2006). The State did not seek the death penalty, and Roberts' sentence was automatically fixed at imprisonment for life. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. 12.31(a) (Vernon Supp. 2006). This appeal concerns Roberts' conviction in trial court cause number F-0473255.

The three points of error raised in this case are identical to three (among several) of the issues raised in Roberts v. State, cause number 06-05-00165-CR. Today, we have issued our opinion in that companion appeal, and therein we resolved those issues against Roberts and in favor of affirming the trial court's judgment. Here, in this case, after reviewing all the evidence and the applicable law, for the reasons given in the companion appeal, we likewise overrule each of Roberts' points of error and affirm the trial court's judgment.
