OPINION
HUTSON-DUNN, Justice.
Appellant, David Montoya, pled guilty to the offenses of delivery of cocaine and possession of marijuana. The trial court assessed punishment at 35 years and ten years, respectively. We affirm.
On September 18, 1992, appellant filed a motion for new trial alleging that his plea was unknowing and involuntary because he is hard of hearing and does not speak or understand English. The trial court denied this motion. Several days later, appellant filed a motion for an evidentiary hearing on the motion for new trial. The trial court denied this motion also.
