In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana No. 06-17-00129-CR JOSHUA LEE BOLTON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 5th District Court Cass County, Texas Trial Court No. 2016F0025 Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION In Cass County, Texas, Joshua Lee Bolton was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child and two charges of indecency with a child by contact, receiving a fifty-year sentence for the sexual assault and ten-year sentences for each indecency conviction. Here, Bolton appeals from one of his convictions for indecency with a child by contact. Bolton has filed a single brief in which he raises an issue common to all of his appeals.1 In a single point of error, he argues that the trial court erred by denying his motion to shuffle the jury panel and by reordering an unshuffled juror. We addressed this issue in detail in our opinion of this date in Bolton’s appeal in cause number 06-17-00127-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude in this matter that the trial court’s error was harmless. We affirm the trial court’s judgment. Josh R. Morriss, III Chief Justice Date Submitted: Date Decided: March 13, 2018 March 23, 2018 Do Not Publish 1 In companion cases, Bolton appeals from his conviction for aggravated sexual assault of a child in cause number 0617-00127-CR, and he appeals from his remaining conviction for indecency with a child by contact in cause number 06-17-00128-CR. 2
