FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 147TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 0982740, HONORABLE FRED A. MOORE, JUDGE PRESIDING

After finding appellant guilty of the offense of injury to a child, (1) the jury assessed punishment at confinement for thirty years. Appellant asserts two points of error, contending that the trial court erred by abusing its discretion in allowing a four-year-old child to testify, and in admitting extraneous offense evidence. We will affirm.
