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

No. 06-24-00228-CR

CODY BLAKE BARNES, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 202nd District Court Bowie County, Texas Trial Court No. 24F1094-202

Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Stevens MEMORANDUM OPINION A Bowie County jury found Cody Blake Barnes guilty of three counts of prohibited sexual conduct and assessed a sentence of twenty years’ imprisonment and a $10,000.00 fine for each count. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 25.02.

On appeal, Barnes argues that the State’s “indictment and jury charge were multiplicitous, thus, violating the Appellant’s constitutional right against double jeopardy.” We addressed this complaint in detail in our main opinion in cause number 06-24-00219-CR. As we explained there, Barnes raised no objection to the indictment, failed to either preserve or adequately brief any double-jeopardy issue, and failed to adequately brief any jury-charge issue.

Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s judgments.1
