OPINION

WHITTINGTON, Justice.

Willie Earl Empty appeals two convictions for aggravated sexual assault. After appellant pleaded not guilty to the charged offenses, the jury found him guilty and the court assessed punishment at sixty years’ confinement in each case. In four points of error, appellant contends (1) the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to support his convictions, (2) he was denied the effective assistance of counsel at trial, and (3) the trial judge erred in admitting evidence of certain extraneous offenses during trial. We affirm the trial court’s judgments.
