OPINION
COHEN, Justice.
A jury found appellant guilty of aggravated sexual assault, and assessed punishment at 28 years confinement.
Appellant first contends that the trial court erred in not requiring the State to elect between two erroneously joined counts in the indictment. Appellant was charged in a two-count indictment with aggravated sexual assault and with burglary of a habitation with intent to commit aggravated sexual assault. Both crimes arose out of the same transaction and were committed at the same time, date, and place, and against the same victim.
