MEMORANDUM OPINION

A Cass County jury found Taureaus Alvaro Maxwell guilty of indecency with a child by contact and assessed a sentence of twenty years’ imprisonment with a $10,000.00 fine. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 21.11(a). Maxwell appeals this case, three more convictions for indecency with a child by contact in cause numbers 06-24-00156-CR through 06-24-00158-CR, and four convictions for improper relationship between educator and student in cause numbers 06-24- 00160-CR through 06-24-00163-CR. In his consolidated brief appealing all of his convictions, Maxwell raised a single point of error arguing that the evidence was legally insufficient to support the jury’s verdict of guilt.

We addressed Maxwell’s point of error related to this cause in the main opinion from cause number 06-24-00156-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we find that the jury’s verdict of guilt in this cause was supported by legally sufficient evidence.

We affirm the trial court’s judgment.

Scott E. Stevens

Chief Justice
