OPINION

WANDA McKEE FOWLER, Justice.

Michael Lane appeals from two aggravated sexual assault convictions. After a jury convicted him in two separate cause numbers and found the enhancement paragraph to be true, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Appellant asserts the trial court erred by failing to grant his request for separate jury trials, denying his motion to suppress, and admitting hearsay testimony under the excited utterance exception. Appellant also challenges the legal and factual sufficiency of the evidence to support his convictions. We affirm.
