Texas Court of Appeals, 14th District (Houston)
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
SEYMORE, Justice.
A jury found appellant, Johnny Joe Oli-varez, guilty of possession of a controlled substance and sentenced him to fifteen years’ imprisonment. In six issues, appellant contends the trial court erred by (1) overruling his motion to suppress, (2) failing to grant a new trial because the State withheld exculpatory evidence, (3) failing to order disclosure of the identity of a confidential informant, and (4) failing to conduct a proper inquiry pursuant to Texas Rule of Evidence 508, concerning the disclosure of a confidential informant. We affirm.
