E. Bruce Curry, Dist. Atty., Kerrville, for Appellee.

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.


Opinion

BRIAN QUINN, Chief Justice.

Appellant, Charles Sisco Newman, was convicted of both possessing a controlled substance in a drug-free zone and engaging in organized criminal activity.

We affirm.
