                                      STATE

Court Cause No. 1107874D

The
jury convicted Jorge Alfonso Padilla of aggravated sexual assault of a child
under fourteen years of age.  Padilla pleaded true to an enhancement allegation,
and the trial court assessed his punishment at thirty-five years confinement.  We
affirm.
Padilla
challenges the trial court’s judgment with a single issue, contending that the
evidence was factually insufficient to support his conviction.  The Texas Court
of Criminal Appeals recently held that legal sufficiency is the only standard
appellate courts should apply when reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence to
support a criminal conviction.  See Brooks v. State, No. PD-0210-09,
2010 WL 3894613, at *14 (Tex. Crim. App. Oct. 6, 2010).  Padilla concedes that
the evidence was legally sufficient.  Padilla’s sole issue is, therefore,
overruled.       The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
