Jimmy Wayne Carr v. State

Opinion

In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

No. 06-19-00130-CR

JIMMY WAYNE CARR, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 6th District Court Lamar County, Texas Trial Court No. 27812

Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Burgess MEMORANDUM OPINION After Jimmy Wayne Carr was found competent to stand trial by David Bell, Ph.D., he was

found guilty by the trial court of possession of child pornography and was sentenced to ten years’

imprisonment. 1 This case was tried with eleven companion cases, which are the subject of other

appeals pending before this Court. Carr filed a single, consolidated brief covering eleven of the

appeals, in which he contends that, since Bell’s qualifications do not appear in his report, there

was insufficient evidence to find him competent to stand trial.

The argument raised in this appeal is based exclusively on the argument brought before

this Court in the companion appeal styled Carr v. State, cause number 06-19-00126-CR. In our

opinion of this date disposing of that appeal, we found that Carr did not preserve his sole issue for

appeal. For the reasons set out in that opinion, we overrule Carr’s sole issue as it applies to this

appeal.

We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
