THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 6th District Court
Lamar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 83660
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Robert Bruce Daugherty appeals from the trial court’s forfeiture order, which deemed as
contraband his $990.00 in U.S. currency, Garmin NUVI GPS, Garmin Large Screen GPS, and KD
Android Computer Tablet. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 59.02 (West Supp. 2014). On
appeal,1 Daugherty argues (1) that because he is indigent, the trial court erred in denying his request
for court-appointed counsel and (2) that the trial court erred in denying his request to continue this
case until the final disposition of his related criminal case.
We addressed these same issues in detail in our opinion of this date on Daugherty’s appeal
in cause number 06-14-00084-CV. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that
Daugherty was not entitled to court-appointed counsel and that the trial court properly exercised
its discretion in denying Daugherty’s motion for continuance.
We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
