OPINION

LAGARDE, Justice.

Chad A. Splawn appeals his convictions of indecency with four children. In four points of error, appellant contends the trial court erroneously admitted evidence of extraneous offenses, limited his attorney’s voir dire examination of the jury, failed to include a definition of reasonable doubt in the jury charge, and failed to admonish him that his guilty pleas could result in deportation or denial of citizenship. Concluding that appellant’s points of error are without merit, we affirm the trial court’s judgments.

Appellant worked at a grocery store in Rowlett, Texas.…
