Matthew Riddle v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Sixth Court of Appeals of Texas affirmed Matthew Riddle’s conviction for online solicitation of a minor and the sentence of twenty years’ imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. The court overruled Riddle’s challenge concerning the simultaneous application of Texas Penal Code Sections 33.021 and 15.032 because the issue was inadequately briefed, relying on its opinion in a related appeal.

Holdings

1. Riddle's point of error was inadequately briefed and was therefore overruled.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Riddle's appellate point asserting that his indictment should be dismissed because Texas Penal Code Sections 33.021 and 15.032 could not be applied simultaneously was adequately briefed.
2. Whether the trial court's judgment should be affirmed.

Disposition

affirmed
