In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-15-00040-CR
ROBERT BRICE DAUGHERTY, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 6th District Court
Lamar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 25886
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Burgess
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Robert Brice Daugherty appeals his life sentence for possession of methamphetamine, with
intent to deliver, in an amount of four or more grams, but less than 200 grams.1 Daugherty’s sole
point of error claims he received ineffective assistance of counsel when his trial attorney failed to
inform him about a plea offer made by the State. We overrule Daugherty’s point of error and
affirm the trial court’s sentence.
Daugherty pled guilty to three indictments in one proceeding. The trial court heard
evidence on all three cases and sentenced Daugherty to life imprisonment in each case, with the
sentences ordered to run concurrently. In a single brief, Daugherty claims his first of two trial
attorneys was ineffective, by failing to tell him of a plea offer covering all three indictments under
which the State would recommend a sentence of forty years. We addressed the merits of that claim
in our opinion in cause number 06-15-00038-CR, issued contemporaneously with this opinion.
For the reasons detailed in that opinion, we likewise overrule Daugherty’s point of error in this
appeal.
We affirm the trial court’s judgment and sentence.
