Charles Ray Miller v. State ( 2014 )

In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-14-00128-CR
CHARLES RAY MILLER, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 8th District Court
Hopkins County, Texas
Trial Court No. 1423725
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter
MEMORANDUM OPINION
In cause numbers 06-14-00120-CR through 06-14-00129-CR, Charles Ray Miller appeals
from ten separate convictions for indecency with a child by contact. Miller has filed a single
brief in which he raises an issue common to all of his appeals. Miller argues that he received
ineffective assistance of counsel during the punishment phase of his trial.
We addressed this issue in detail in our opinion of this date on Miller’s appeal in cause
number 06-14-00120-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude in this matter that
Miller failed to demonstrate (1) that his counsel’s performance fell below an objective standard
of reasonableness and (2) that there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel’s
unprofessional errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different. Strickland v.
Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984) ); Ex parte Imoudu, 284 S.W.3d 866, 869 (Tex. Crim. App.
2009).
Consequently, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
