Annotate this CaseIN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-05-00070-CR
Loretta Webb,
Appellant
v.
The State of Texas,
Appellee
From the County Court at Law
Wise County, Texas
Trial Court No. 56208
MEMORANDUM Opinion
Webb appeals her misdemeanor conviction for possession of marijuana. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. 481.121(a), (b)(1) (Vernon 2003). We affirm.
In her one issue, Webb contends that the trial court erred in overruling her motion to suppress evidence. The arresting officer stopped Webb s truck because wires obscured her license plate. A person commits an offense if the person attaches to or displays on a motor vehicle a number plate or registration insignia that . . . has letters, numbers, or other identification marks that because of blurring . . . are not plainly visible at all times during the daylight . . . . Tex. Transp. Code Ann. 502.409(a) & (5) (Vernon Supp. 2004-2005). Webb contends that as a matter of law the presence of the wires did not constitute blurring. Webb argues that a blur is defined as a smear or stain that obscures (quoting Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, http:// www .m w .com/ cgi bin/ dictionary ?book = Dictionary & va = blur). To blur, however, may more generally signify to make dim, indistinct, or vague in outline or character. Webster s Third New International Dictionary of the English Language Unabridged 243 (Philip Babcock Gove ed. 1993). The trial court did not err in overruling Webb s motion. We overrule Webb s issue.
Having overruled Webb s sole issue, we affirm.
