Markeith Terrell Oliver v. The State of Texas - Felon Firearm Possession
Summary
The Texas Court of Appeals, 6th District at Texarkana, affirmed Markeith Terrell Oliver's conviction for unlawful carrying of a weapon by a felon, upholding a ten-year prison sentence. The appellate court found no reviewable error because Oliver's consolidated brief raised no point of error specifically challenging this conviction. The judgment from Cass County District Court stands as entered.
What changed
The Texas Court of Appeals affirmed a Cass County jury conviction of unlawful carrying of a weapon by a felon, upholding the trial court's ten-year prison sentence. The appellate court declined to review Oliver's appeal because his consolidated brief contained no point of error relating to this specific conviction—his single error argument was directed at other pending appeals. The court affirmed the trial court's judgment as entered.
Criminal defense practitioners should note that consolidated briefing across multiple appellate causes requires ensuring each conviction has specifically assigned error. Criminal defendants facing firearm possession charges should be aware that the procedural requirement to raise distinct points of error for each cause number is strictly enforced on appeal. The affirmed conviction establishes no new precedent beyond the defendant's own case.

MARKEITH TERRELL OLIVER, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 5th District Court
Cass County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2024F00156
Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice van Cleef
MEMORANDUM OPINION
After a Cass County jury found Markeith Terrell Oliver guilty of unlawful carrying of a
weapon by a felon, the trial court sentenced him to ten years’ confinement in prison.
On March 31, 2025, Oliver filed a notice of appeal in this case. On October 22, 2025,
Oliver filed a single, consolidated brief in this appellate court cause number and in appellate
court cause numbers 06-25-00050-CR and 06-25-00052-CR. Oliver’s consolidated brief
contains one point of error. That point of error does not relate to his conviction of unlawful
carrying of a weapon by a felon.1 Therefore, there is nothing for the Court to review in this case.
Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s judgment of conviction.
