MARK STEPHEN MARTIN, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 176th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 843,648

O P I N I O N

Appellant was charged by indictment with the offense of aggravated sexual assault of a child. Appellant pleaded guilty to the offense without an agreed recommendation as to punishment from the State. Following a pre-sentence investigation, the trial court found appellant guilty and assessed his punishment at 10 years in prison.

In his sole point of error, appellant argues that the trial court committed reversible error by failing to admonish him orally as to the sex offender registration requirements, as required by the guilty-plea statute. The record contains a written admonishment on sex offender registration requirements that complies with the Code of Criminal Procedure. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 26.13(d) (Vernon 1989). We overrule appellant's sole point of error and affirm.

Sam Nuchia

Justice

Panel consists of Justices Nuchia, Jennings, and Radack.
