Opinion

BRIAN QUINN, Chief Justice.

Appellant, Robert Allen Chitwood, appeals his convictions for aggravated sexual assault and indecency with a child. The victims were under fourteen when he engaged in sexual conduct with them. The conduct included sexual intercourse. Through three issues, he contends the trial court erred by 1) limiting appellant’s cross-examination of the complainants, 2) allowing the State to introduce extraneous bad acts of appellant and 3) allowing the State to impeach appellant with a felony conviction over ten years old. We affirm.
