NO. 2-04-523-CR



KELLEY RENEE SCHMIDT	APPELLANT



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS	STATE



------------



FROM THE 396TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY



------------



MEMORANDUM OPINION
(footnote: 1)


------------

Kelley Renee Schmidt appeals her sentence for possession of four or more, but less than 200, grams of a controlled substance, gamma hydroxybutyrate.  In a single point, appellant complains that the trial court should have set her motion for new trial for hearing and granted her a new trial because her four-year sentence is excessive. 



Nothing in the record indicates that appellant presented her motion for new trial to the trial court by bringing the motion to the court’s attention in any way.
(footnote: 2)  Accordingly, appellant has forfeited her complaint that the trial court abused its discretion by not setting the motion for hearing.
(footnote: 3)
	Further, appellant did not raise her complaint of excessive punishment in her motion for new trial or elsewhere in the trial court.  Therefore, she has forfeited this complaint as well.
(footnote: 4)
	For these reasons, we overrule appellant’s point and affirm the trial court’s judgment.
