CHRISTOPHER DARRELL BROWN, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 202nd District Court
Bowie County, Texas
Trial Court No. 21F1657-202
Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Rambin
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Christopher Darrell Brown appeals his conviction for sexual assault of a child. 1 He
claims his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to file a motion in limine and
failing to object to extraneous-offense evidence. We have reviewed the record and applicable
law and find that Brown has not met the requirements of Strickland v. Washington.2 We overrule
Brown’s point of error and affirm the trial court’s judgment.
We addressed this issue in detail in Brown’s companion case in cause number
06-23-00130-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we overrule Brown’s point of error here.
We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
