      JAMES DIXON GRAVES, JR., Appellant

                         V.

        THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

   On Appeal from the 76th Judicial District Court
               Morris County, Texas
              Trial Court No. 10,005

    Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
   Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss
                                       MEMORANDUM OPINION

           James Dixon Graves, Jr., appeals from his convictions by a jury in this cause on three

charges of indecency with a child.1 Graves has filed a single brief, in which he raises issues

common to all of his appeals. He argues that the trial court erred in denying his (1) motion to

suppress the evidence, (2) request for funds to hire an expert, (3) request to have the victim

examined by the expert as to her disability and competency to testify, and (4) motion for mistrial.

Graves also complains that the evidence was insufficient to establish that the victim was disabled

under the Texas Penal Code.

           We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on Graves’ appeal in cause

number 06-09-00063-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that error has not

been shown in this case.

           We affirm the judgment.

                                                            Josh R. Morriss, III
                                                            Chief Justice
