         GARY TRISTON GUICE, Appellant

                          V.

          THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

    On Appeal from the 188th Judicial District Court
                 Gregg County, Texas
              Trial Court No. 36,392-A

     Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
    Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss
                                   MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Gary Triston Guice appeals from his conviction on his open plea of guilty to three felony

offenses in a single proceeding. In this case, numbered 06-08-00096-CR (trial cause number

36,392-A), Guice was convicted of sexual assault. Guice pled guilty to the offense. The issue of

punishment was tried to the trial court, which sentenced him to twenty years' imprisonment in this

case, to run concurrently with the sentences in the other two cases.1

       On appeal, Guice raises two contentions of error. First, he argues that the trial court

committed reversible error by failing to consider the entire range of punishment for the offense, and

second, that the punishment imposed violated the right against cruel and unusual punishment.

       We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on his appeal in cause number

06-08-00095-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we affirm the judgment.

                                              Josh R. Morriss, III
