                    In The
              Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana


                  No. 06-14-00181-CR



           WILLIAM JAMES AKIN, Appellant

                           V.

           THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee



         On Appeal from the 336th District Court
                 Fannin County, Texas
             Trial Court No. CR-13-24979




      Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
      Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss
                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION
           William James Akin was convicted by a Fannin County jury in this case of indecency with

a child by sexual contact1 and assessed punishment of twenty years’ imprisonment. This case was

tried with three companion cases, which are the subject of other appeals pending before this Court.2

Akin filed a single, consolidated brief covering all four appeals, in which he contends that the trial

court erred (1) in admitting two photographs of adult pornographic websites and two photographs

of internet search history pages and (2) in granting the State’s challenge of a juror for cause.

           The arguments raised in this appeal are based exclusively on the arguments brought before

this Court in the companion appeal styled Akin v. State, cause number 06-14-00178-CR. In our

opinion of this date disposing of that appeal, we found that (1) although the trial court erred, there

was no reversible error in the admission of the complained-of evidence and (2) the trial court did

not abuse its discretion in granting the State’s challenge for cause. For the reasons set forth in that

opinion, we likewise overrule Akin’s points of error as they apply to this appeal.

 In his companion cause numbers, 06-14-00178, 06-14-00179, and 06-14-00180, Akin appeals from his convictions
of one count of sexual assault of a child and two counts of indecency with a child by sexual contact.

                                                         2
       We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
