CURTIS LEO WILLIAMS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 8th Judicial District Court
Hopkins County, Texas
Trial Court No. 0819905
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Curtis Leo Williams, proceeding pro se, appeals his conviction for possession of a
controlled substance, namely marihuana, in an amount more than four ounces but less than five
pounds—a state jail felony. See TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE ANN. § 481.121(b)(3) (West
2010). The State alleged two prior felony convictions, which elevated the punishment range to a
second degree felony. See Act of May 29, 1995, 74th Leg., R.S., ch. 318, § 1, 1995 Tex. Gen.
Laws 2734, 2735 (amended 2011) (current version at TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 12.42 (West
2011)). In a related case, also decided today, Williams has appealed his conviction for possession
of a controlled substance, namely cocaine, in an amount of more than four grams, but less than
200—a second degree felony. See Williams v. State, cause number 06-10-00099-CR. Williams
has filed a single brief, in which he raises six issues common to both of his appeals.
We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on Williams’ appeal in cause
number 06-10-00098-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that error has not
been shown in this case.

We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
