KEM THOMPSON FROST, Chief Justice.

Ricardo Torres appeals his conviction for aggravated sexual assault of a child, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence to support his conviction, the child complainant’s competency to testify, the admission of outcry-witness testimony and the opinion testimony of two nurses, the denial of motions for mistrial based on allegations of improper jury argument, the jury’s conduct in reaching a verdict in ten minutes, and the quashing of subpoenas at a hearing on appellant’s motion for new trial. We affirm.
