Description
Donald Eugene Curry was convicted of the aggravated sexual assault of his stepdaughter, W. K., and sentenced by a jury to life imprisonment. TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. ? 22.021 (Vernon 1989). On appeal he raises nineteen points of error: thirteen complaints of ineffective assistance of counsel; three complaints his guilty plea was not voluntary; a complaint his prosecution was barred by limitations; a complaint of error in failing to give the parole charge; and a complaint the court erred in limiting cross-examination of a State witness. Because Curry was convicted of an offense with a ten-year limitations period; because Curry was not harmed by the lack of a parole instruction or the limited cross-examination of a State witness; because Curry failed to prove his trial counsel rendered assistance that was deficient or that prejudiced his defense; and because the credible evidence shows Curry entered his plea voluntarily, we overrule all points and affirm the judgment.
