THOMAS ANDREW SHERRILL, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

---

On Appeal from the 282nd Judicial District Court

Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court No. F03-84324-HS

---

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

Memorandum Opinion by Justice Ross

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Thomas Andrew Sherrill appeals from his conviction of aggravated sexual assault on a child. Five indictments were tried together. Sherrill pled nolo contendere, or no contest, to the charges. Following a bench trial, the trial court sentenced Sherrill to fifty years' imprisonment for the aggravated sexual assault. The cases have been appealed separately and have been briefed together.

          Because the briefs and arguments raised therein are identical in all five appeals, for the reasons stated in Sherrill v. State, No. 06-05-00159-CR, we likewise resolve the issues in this appeal in favor of the State.

          We affirm the judgment of the trial court.

                                                                           Donald R. Ross
