Bruce Randol Merryman v. State

OPINION

Opinion by:

PHYLIS J. SPEEDLIN, Justice.

Bruce Randol Merryman appeals his convictions on three counts of misapplication of fiduciary property and three counts of theft by deception arising out of several construction contracts he entered into with different complainants. Merryman challenges the legal sufficiency of the evidence to support his convictions, as well as the sentences imposed for Counts I and II based on an elderly victim; he also complains about the trial court’s response to the jury’s questions during punishment deliberations. We affirm the trial court’s judgments.
