       CHARLES WHITLEY MICK, Appellant

                         V.

         THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

    On Appeal from the 8th Judicial District Court
              Hopkins County, Texas
             Trial Court No. 0618766

     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 indecency with a child with

J.H. and aggravated sexual assault on a child with J.H. The jury assessed his punishment at twenty

years' and forty years' imprisonment, respectively, and $10,000.00 fines for each offense. 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 another alleged victim, M.M.2 He argues that this error is reversible because

it leaves grave doubt that his 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.

         1
        Mick appeals from six convictions. In cause number 06-07-00004-CR, he was convicted
of aggravated sexual assault on M.M. and sentenced to forty years' imprisonment (concurrent). In
cause number 06-07-00005-CR, he was convicted of aggravated sexual assault on M.M. and
sentenced to forty years' imprisonment (concurrent). In cause number 06-07-00006-CR, he was
convicted for indecency with a child with J.H. and sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment
(concurrent). In cause number 06-07-00007-CR, he was convicted of indecency with a child with
J.H. and sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment (concurrent). In 06-07-00008-CR, he was
convicted of one count of indecency with a child with J.H. and sentenced to twenty years'
imprisonment (concurrent), and one count of aggravated sexual assault on a child with J.H. and
sentenced to forty years' imprisonment (consecutive to 0618762 (06-07-00004-CR)). In cause
number 06-07-00009-CR, Mick was convicted of one count of aggravated sexual assault on J.H. and
sentenced to forty years' imprisonment (concurrent), and one count of indecency with a child with
J.H. and sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment (concurrent). In each conviction, the jury also
assessed a $10,000.00 fine.
         2
             Mick does not present a Confrontation Clause issue—M.M. testified at the trial.

                                                    2
      We affirm the judgment.
