On Appeal from the 336th Judicial District Court, Fannin County, Texas, Trial Court No. 21962.

Before MORRISS, C.J., CARTER and MOSELEY, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Jeffrey Daniel Hughen was convicted by a jury of the offense of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment, to run concurrently with his sentence in the companion appeal. He has filed a single brief addressing both appeals. As relevant to this case, Hughen argues that the trial court committed reversible error by denying his motion to suppress a videotaped interview made after he had invoked his right to counsel, and also by thereafter allowing the State to not only play the videotape, but to then question a detective for the purpose of explaining to the jury what it had just seen. The remaining two points of error are relevant only to the companion appeal from his conviction for attempted murder. The issue raised in this appeal is identical to its counterpart addressed in the companion appeal, cause number 06-07-00093-CR. For the reasons stated in our opinion in that case, we affirm the judgment of the trial court in this case.

In another appeal also before this Court, Hughen was convicted of attempted murder in trial court number 21963, our cause number 06-07-00093-CR. He was sentenced in that case to life imprisonment.
