In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana No. 06-14-00019-CR JONATHAN ALI CHTAY, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 196th District Court Hunt County, Texas Trial Court No. 22,940 Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION In 2005, Johnathan Ali Chtay pled guilty to the offense of theft of property valued at $20,000.00 or more but less than $100,000.00. Pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement, Chtay was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for a period of ten years. On December 4, 2013, the trial court (1) found that Chtay violated the first condition of his community supervision, (2) adjudicated Chtay guilty of theft of property valued at $20,000.00 or more but less than $100,000.00, and (3) sentenced Chtay to seven years imprisonment. On appeal, Chtay argues that the evidence was insufficient to support the trial court s decision to adjudicate his guilt. On the same ground, in companion case number 06-14-00018CR, Chtay appealed the trial court s decision to adjudicate him guilty of misapplication of construction trust fund money in an amount of $500.00 or more, with intent to defraud. We addressed the sole issue raised in this appeal in detail in our opinion of this date in cause number 06-14-00018-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that error has not been shown in this case. We affirm the trial court s judgment. Josh R. Morriss, III Chief Justice Date Submitted: Date Decided: July 30, 2014 July 31, 2014 Do Not Publish 2
