In the
Court of Appeals

No. 06-24-00202-CR

CHRISTOPHER JAMES WILLIAMSON, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 123rd District Court
Panola County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2024-C-152

Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Stevens
MEMORANDUM OPINION

A bench trial led to Christopher James Williamson’s conviction for possession of child

pornography and sentence of seventy-five years’ imprisonment. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN.

§ 43.26(d)(2)(B)(ii) (Supp.). On appeal, Williamson argues that the trial court abused its

discretion by admitting a search warrant, a supporting affidavit, and a telephone company’s

records over his hearsay objections.1

We addressed Williamson’s arguments in detail in his companion cause number 06-24-

00201-CR. For the same reasons stated there, we find that the trial court did not abuse its

discretion by admitting the evidence in this cause. As a result, we affirm the trial court’s

judgment.
