DONALD EUGENE BRUCE, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 188th Judicial District Court

Trial Court No. 34,094-A

Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Donald Eugene Bruce was convicted by a Gregg County jury of multiple counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of indecency with a child by contact. In trial court cause number 33,756-A (our cause number 06-07-00011-CR), Bruce was charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child; in trial court cause number 34,094-A (our cause number 06-07-00012-CR), Bruce was charged with one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of indecency with a child by contact. He was sentenced to ninety-nine years' incarceration on each count of aggravated sexual assault of a child, to run concurrently, and to twenty years for the indecency count, which was ordered to run consecutive to the ninety-nine-year sentences.

Because the issues raised in each appeal are identical, for the reasons stated in our opinion dated this day in Bruce v. State, cause number 06-07-00011-CR, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
