CHARLES WHITLEY MICK, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 8th Judicial District Court
 Hopkins County, Texas
Trial Court No. 0618763

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

MEMORANDUM OPINION

	Charles Whitley Mick appeals from his conviction by a jury for aggravated sexual assault of
a child on M.M.  The jury assessed his punishment at forty years' imprisonment and a $10,000.00
fine.  Mick presently has five other convictions currently on appeal before this Court. (1)
  	On appeal, Mick contends the trial court erred by admitting a video recording of an interview
by a state worker with M.M. because it was hearsay, and the interviewer/witness was not the proper
outcry witness. (2)  He argues that this error is reversible because it leaves grave doubt that the
conviction was free from the substantial influence of the error.   
	We addressed this issue in detail in our opinion of this date on his appeal in cause number
06-07-00004-CR.  For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that error has not been shown
in the instant case
	We affirm the judgment.
