Jimmy Wayne Carr v. State ( 2020 )

In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-19-00137-CR
JIMMY WAYNE CARR, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 6th District Court
Lamar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 27851
Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss
MEMORANDUM OPINION
After Jimmy Wayne Carr was found competent to stand trial by David Bell, Ph.D., he was
found guilty by the trial court of assault on a public servant and was sentenced to eight years’
imprisonment. 1 This case was tried with eleven companion cases, which are the subject of other
appeals pending before this Court. Carr filed a single, consolidated brief covering eleven of the
appeals, in which he contends that, since Bell’s qualifications do not appear in his report, there
was insufficient evidence to find him competent to stand trial.
The argument raised in this appeal is based exclusively on the argument brought before
this Court in the companion appeal styled Carr v. State, cause number 06-19-00126-CR. In our
opinion of this date disposing of that appeal, we found that Carr did not preserve his sole issue for
appeal. For the reasons set out in that opinion, we overrule Carr’s sole issue as it applies to this
appeal.
We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
