      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. 10,004

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

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

charges of aggravated sexual assault of a disabled person.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 the following: (1) his motion to suppress the evidence; (2) his request for funds to hire an

expert; (3) his request to have the victim examined by the expert as to her disability and

competency to testify; and (4) his motion for mistrial. Graves also complains that the evidence

was insufficient to establish 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.
