OPINION
ANN CRAWFORD McCLURE, Justice.
Miguel Angel Garcia appeals his conviction for capital murder of a child under six years of age. Upon the jury’s finding of guilt, the trial court assessed mandatory punishment at life imprisonment in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. We affirm.
LEGAL SUFFICIENCY
Appellant was convicted of the capital murder of his three-month-old daughter, Cassandra. By four points of error, he challenges his conviction. We address his fourth point first since it challenges the legal sufficiency of the evidence to support his conviction.
