THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 276th District Court Titus County, Texas Trial Court No. 18,022 Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION Juan Luis Obeso pled guilty to and was convicted of possession of a controlled substance. Following Obeso’s election of jury-assessed punishment, he was sentenced, consistent with the jury’s recommendation, to two years’ confinement in a state jail facility. Obeso has filed a single brief, in which he raises an issues common to all of his appeals. 1 Obeso argues that the trial court (1) erred in accepting his guilty plea in the absence of a written waiver of a jury trial on guilt/innocence and (2) failed to properly admonish him that he was entitled to a jury trial on guilt/innocence. We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on Obeso’s appeal in cause number 06-13-00138-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that harmful error has not been shown in this case. We affirm the trial court’s judgment. Josh R.
