In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-14-00067-CR
WILLIAM JASON PUGH, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 402nd Judicial District Court
Wood County, Texas
Trial Court No. 22,042-2013
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On September 12, 2013, in Wood County, Texas, William Jason Pugh was charged, by
separate indictments, with two counts of aggravated sexual assault of S.C., a child. During the
trial, evidence that Pugh committed separate extraneous offenses was admitted under Article 38.37
of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 38.37 (West
Supp. 2014). After a jury trial, Pugh was found guilty of both counts and sentenced to two terms
of life imprisonment to run concurrently.
Pugh has filed a single brief in which he raises issues common to both of his appeals. Here,
Pugh appeals from his conviction in trial court cause number 22,042-2013 for aggravated sexual
assault of a child by penetration of the sexual organ of a child younger than fourteen years of age
by his sexual organ and argues (1) that the State’s notice of intent to introduce extraneous offenses
during the guilt/innocence phase pursuant to Article 38.37 of the Texas Code of Criminal
Procedure was deficient; (2) that the trial court erred by finding the State’s extraneous-offense
evidence was “enough to find, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the extraneous offenses occurred”;
and (3) that the jury instructions failed to instruct the jury how to apply the beyond-a-reasonable-
doubt standard to the extraneous offenses.
We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on Pugh’s appeal in cause
number 06-14-00066-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.
