In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-16-00154-CR
NATHANIEL NORRIS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 76th District Court
Morris County, Texas
Trial Court No. 11,425CR
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Burgess
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Nathaniel Norris was convicted by a jury of aggravated sexual assault of a child and
sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment. On appeal, Norris argues that the trial court erred (1) in
admitting allegedly unauthenticated Facebook Messenger texts sent by cell phone and (2) in
assessing court costs in this case, and all companion cases, even though they were consolidated
for trial.1
We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on Norris’ appeal in cause
number 06-16-00150-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that the trial court
did not abuse its discretion in overruling Norris’ objection of improper authentication in this case,
and further find that Norris’ second issue is moot.
We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
