OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Enrique Santana Rangel appeals his conviction by a jury, upon his plea of guilty, of two offenses of aggravated sexual assault of a child under the age of fourteen. The jury assessed his punishment in each case at twenty-five years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Institutional Division, to be served concurrently, and a fine of $10,000. In two points, he contends that the trial court erred in allowing evidence of extraneous offenses and prior bad acts against a person who was neither a party to the charges against him nor a testifying witness and in allowing the prosecutor to ask during voir dire an improper commitment question respecting the proper purpose of punishment. Inasmuch as Rangel presented no objection to the evidence of which he complains or to the prosecutor's question on voir dire, nothing is preserved for review. TEX. R. APP. P. 33.1(a); Dixon v. State, 2 S.W.3d 263, 265 (Tex.Crim.App. 1998); Robinson v. State, 85 S.W.3d 338, 340 (Tex.App.-Texarkana 2002, pet. ref'd). Rangel presents no case suggesting that any error was preserved on appeal despite the lack of an objection, and we are not aware of any. We overrule points one and two. The judgment is affirmed.
