MEMORANDUM OPINION

Clifford William Graham was convicted in a single trial, on his plea of guilty, of two charges of arson. This appeal concerns his second conviction for arson. The causes have been appealed separately and have been briefed together.

Because the contentions raised are identical in both appeals, for the reasons stated in Graham v. State, No. 06-02-00095-CR, we likewise resolve the issues in this appeal in favor of the State.

The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
