Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

In defendant-s trial for aggravated sexual assault of a child, it was not an abuse of discretion to allow the cross-examination of a Child Protective Services case-worker and the rebuttal testimony of another witness regarding an extraneous sexual assault, where case worker-s testimony left a false impression as to defendant-s character, and rebuttal witness- testimony went to opportunity and motive.
