Description
A jury convicted Larry Don Sessums, Sr., of one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of indecency with a child. The convictions originated from a single indictment containing multiple counts. The jury assessed punishment at forty years' imprisonment for aggravated sexual assault and twenty years' imprisonment for indecency with a child. In an unpublished opinion released June 20, 2003, we found there was no evidence to support the conviction for aggravated sexual assault and reversed and ordered an acquittal on that charge. Based on the fact the brief did not argue or discuss the conviction for indecency with a child, but referred only to the aggravated sexual assault, we concluded the brief presented nothing for our review on that conviction. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(h) (requiring brief to contain clear and concise argument for contentions made, with appropriate citation to authority and record); Ladd v. State, 3 S.W.3d 547, 575 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999) (holding that requiring appellants to abide by briefing rules and make reasonable arguments does not offend due process).
