OPINION

TERRY JENNINGS, Justice.

A jury found appellant, Robert Glen Davis, guilty of the offense of aggravated assault, 1 and, after appellant pleaded “true” to the allegations in two enhancement paragraphs that he had been previously convicted of two felony offenses, the trial court assessed his punishment at confinement for 50 years. In two points of error, appellant contends that the trial court erred in “failing to grant [his] Theus 2 motion” and that the “State’s manifestly improper jury argument was so egregious that the court’s instruction to disregard failed to cure the harm.”

We affirm.
