TDCI #2490073 0.B-ELLIS UNIT HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth No. 02-24-00041-CR CAYLON JAMES WASHINGTON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS On Appeal ftom the 297th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 1798778 Before Sudderth, C.J.; Kerr and Birdwell, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Birdwell MEMORANDUM OPINION Without the benefit of a plea bargain, Appellant Caylon James Washington pleaded guilty to six counts of aggravated sexual assault. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.021. Washington’s punishment was tried to a jury, and the jury assessed his punishment at 55 years’ confinement. The trial court sentenced Washington accordingly. On appeal, Washington contends that the trial court erred by allowing the State to call as a rebuttal witness the complainant’s mother, arguing that she testified in violation of “the Rule” and that she was not a “true rebuttal witness.” Because we conclude that any error in admitting Mother’s testimony did not affect Washington’s substantial rights, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
