OPINION

After the jury convicted Juan Jose Ponce of six counts of aggravated sexual assault, it assessed his punishment at life imprisonment on each count. The jury also assessed a $5,000 fine on each count except for the second count. On the second count, the jury assessed a fine of $10,000. The trial court ordered that the sentence on the second count was not to commence until the sentence on Count One was concluded. It also ordered that the sentence on Count Three was not to commence until the sentence on Count Two was concluded. The sentences on the remaining counts were to run concurrently with the sentence on Count Three. We affirm.

Ponce presents us with six issues on appeal. In the first three of those issues, Ponce claims that his trial counsel was ineffective. In Ponce’s fourth issue, he asserts that the trial court erred in connection with its ruling on a jury argument objection. Ponce makes legal and factual insufficiency arguments in his fifth and sixth issues.
