SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS

By_________________________________

    Justice Lee Ann Dauphinot

Allen James Chiles		APPELLANT
The State of Texas		STATE

----------

FROM THE 432nd District Court OF Tarrant COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]

Appellant Allen James Chiles challenges the admission of his custodial statement because there was no affirmative waiver of his constitutional rights included in the Miranda warnings.[2]  When a pretrial motion to suppress is denied, as in the case now before this court, the accused is not required to object at trial to the admission of the evidence he sought to suppress.[3]  When, however, he affirmatively states during trial that he has “no objection” to the admission of the complained-of evidence, as did Appellant, he forfeits any error in the admission of the evidence at trial, despite any error in the pretrial ruling.[4]  Consequently, Appellant presents nothing for review.  We overrule his sole point and affirm the trial court’s judgment.
