RICHARD LEONAR WHYTUS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 196th Judicial District Court

Hunt County, Texas

Trial Court No. 24,841

Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley

MEMORANDUM OPINION

	Richard Leonar Whytus appeals from his conviction by a jury on seven charges of aggravated
assault with a deadly weapon. (1) See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.02(a)(2) (Vernon Supp. 2008).  The
evidence shows that while quite intoxicated, he drove his car into a daycare full of napping children. 
Two workers and several of the children were injured. 
	Whytus has filed a single brief, in which he raises a single issue which is common to all of
his appeals.  He argues that the trial court committed reversible error by refusing to submit his
requested charge on the lesser-included offense of assault causing bodily injury.
	We addressed this issue in detail in our opinion of this date on Whytus's appeal in cause
number 06-08-00167-CR.  For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that error has not
been shown in this case.
	We affirm the judgment.
