The
trial court convicted Tammy Carson Rogers, upon her plea of guilty, of the
offenses of credit card abuse[1] and forgery.[2] 
Plea bargain agreements were not reached.  In each case, the trial court
sentenced appellant to confinement in a state jail facility for eighteen
months.  We affirm.

In
her sole issue in each case, appellant invites this court to reconsider our
decisions in Flores v. State, 936 S.W.2d 478 (Tex. App.CEastland 1996, pet. ref=d), and Bradfield v.
State, 42 S.W.3d 350 (Tex. App.CEastland
2001, pet. ref=d),
where we held that punishment assessed was not subject to a factual sufficiency
review.  We decline appellant=s
invitation.  Each issue is overruled.
A
penalty assessed within the range of punishment established by the legislature
will not be disturbed on appeal. Jackson v.
State, 680 S.W.2d 809 (Tex. Crim.
App. 1984); Bradfield, 42 S.W.3d at 354.  The trial court assessed
punishment within the range authorized.  Tex.
Penal Code Ann. '' 12.35, 32.21, 32.31 (Vernon Supp. 2008).
The judgments of the trial court are affirmed.
