In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana ______________________________ No. 06-09-00008-CR ______________________________ DARNELL HARTSFIELD, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the Fourth Judicial District Court Rusk County, Texas Trial Court No. CR05-335 Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley MEMORANDUM OPINION A jury convicted Darnell Hartsfield of five counts of capital murder; he was sentenced to punishment at life imprisonment. Hartsfield appeals from his conviction and has filed a single brief, in which he raises issues common to all of his appeals. 1 He argues that the trial court committed reversible error in that 1) the evidence supporting his conviction was legally and factually insufficient and 2) admitting evidence of an extraneous offense. We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date in Hartsfield s appeal in cause number 06-09-00006-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. Bailey C. Moseley Justice Date Submitted: Date Decided: October 21, 2009 February 4, 2010 Do Not Publish 1 Defendant appeals from five convictions, for capital murder, cause numbers 06-09-00006-CR through 06-09-00010-CR. 2
