In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-15-00235-CR
TERRY REESE TANTON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 8th District Court
Hopkins County, Texas
Trial Court No. 1524470
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Terry Reese Tanton pled nolo contendere to and was convicted of the aggravated sexual
assault of a child.1 The trial court sentenced Tanton to fifteen years’ imprisonment. Tanton has
filed a consolidated brief, in which he raises a single issue common to all of his appeals. He argues
that the trial court’s failure to admonish him about the possibility of civil commitment led to an
“invalid” plea and constituted reversible error.
In our opinion of this date on Tanton’s appeal in cause number 06-15-00234-CR, we found
this point of error inadequately briefed. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that
Tanton has failed to preserve his sole point of error in this case.
We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
