                             THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                       On Appeal from the 401st Judicial District Court

                                MEMORANDUM OPINION
                           Before Justices Moseley, O'Neill, and Lewis
                                   Opinion by Justice O'Neill
       Appellant appeals his conviction for aggravated assault. After the jury found appellant

guilty, the trial court assessed punishment at twenty years’ confinement. In a single point of

error, appellant contends the evidence is legally insufficient to prove his identity as the victim’s

assailant. For the following reasons, we affirm appellant’s conviction.

       The grand jury indicted appellant for the aggravated assault of Jona Purcell. At trial, the

State presented evidence that in August 2010, Purcell was severely beaten. She suffered several

broken ribs and multiple bruises on her face and torso.     Purcell told her daughter, police, and

hospital staff that her boyfriend, appellant, had attacked her. However, by the time of trial,

Purcell recanted her allegations. In his sole issue, appellant contends the evidence is legally

insufficient to prove he was the person that committed the offense.
       In reviewing a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, we examine all the evidence

in the light most favorable to the verdict and determine whether a rational trier of fact could have

found the essential elements of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443

U.S. 307, 319 (1979); Lucio v. State, 351 S.W.3d 878, 894–95 (Tex. Crim. App. 2011). In a

sufficiency review, we do not re-evaluate the weight and credibility of the evidence, and we

defer to the jury’s determinations of credibility. See Lancon v. State, 253 S.W.3d 699, 705 (Tex.

Crim. App. 2008); Williams v. State, 235 S.W.3d 742, 750 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007). A jury may

believe all, some, or none of any witness’s testimony. Sharp v. State, 707 S.W.2d 611, 614 (Tex.

Crim. App. 1986). We presume that the jury resolved all inconsistencies in the evidence in favor

of the verdict. See Clayton v. State, 235 S.W.3d 772, 778 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007).

       At trial, Purcell testified that after the offense, her daughter took her to the hospital where

she was interviewed by police. She said she did not recall telling officers that appellant had

assaulted her, but acknowledged the interview was recorded and showed she did name appellant

as her assailant. She said appellant was her boyfriend and she falsely accused him because her

daughter did not like appellant, and said Purcell would “lose everything” if she did not accuse

him. In particular, their entire family would “cut” Purcell “off” if she did not say appellant was

her assailant. At trial, she claimed appellant did not attack her, but that she was “jumped” in a

field by two or three Spanish-speaking women.

       The State called the two officers that interviewed Purcell in the hospital. The officers

both testified Purcell identified appellant as her attacker. Purcell’s daughter also testified that

her mother told her appellant was the person that had beaten her. Finally, Purcell’s medical

records showed Purcell named her boyfriend as her attacker.




                                                –2–
       Appellant’s sister testified for the defense. She said appellant was at her house the night

Purcell was attacked, but Purcell was not. According to appellant’s sister, therefore, appellant

could not have assaulted Purcell.

       We conclude the evidence is legally sufficient to show appellant was the person that

assaulted Purcell. Although complainant recanted her claim that appellant had assaulted her, her

recantation did not render her prior out-of-court statements without probative value. Fernandez

v. State, 805 S.W.2d. 451, 456 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); see also Hernandez v. State, 280 S.W.3d

384, 386 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2008, no pet.). Instead, the jury could have rationally believed

Purcell’s earlier statements and disbelieved her recantation. See Chambers v. State, 805 S.W.2d

459, 461 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); Navarro v. State, 280 S.W.3d 405, 407 (Tex. App.—Amarillo

2008, no pet.).

       In reaching this conclusion, we reject appellant’s assertions that Purcell’s statements to

her daughter and police cannot be considered because they were admitted for “impeachment”

purposes only. Appellant did not object to any of the statements or request a limiting instruction

concerning the statements. A failure to request a limiting instruction when evidence is offered

for purposes of impeachment renders it admissible for all purposes. Williams v. State, 273

S.W.3d 200, 230 (Tex. Crim, App. 2008). We conclude the evidence is legally sufficient to

show appellant was the person that committed the offense.




                                               –3–
      We resolve appellant’s sole issue against him and affirm the trial court’s judgment.
