                                                                      Appellee

MEMORANDUM 
Opinion

 




        This appeal concerns five convictions for
aggravated assault.  See Tex. Penal Code Ann.
§ 22.02(a) (Vernon Supp. 2004). 
We will affirm.
      In his sole issue, Appellant contends that
the trial court erred in sustaining the State’s objection to evidence of
statements that Appellant made to police sometime after his arrest.  At trial, Appellant argued that the
statements were admissible as exceptions to the hearsay rule, see Tex.
R. Evid. 802, as a “[s]tatement of his penal interest,” cf. id. 803(24) (“statements against
interest”).  He also argued that the
statements were admissible as statements of Appellant’s then existing mental,
emotional, or physical condition.  See id. 803(3).  Appellant also apparently argued that the
statements were admissible under Texas’s confession statute.  See
Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art.
38.22, § 3 (Vernon Supp. 2004). 
On appeal, Appellant contends that the statements were “res gestae of the arrest” and “necessary
to explain or contradict actions and declarations first offered by the State”
(emphasis in orig.) (citing Cazares v.
State, 488 S.W.2d 455, 457 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972)).  Neither of these theories of admissibility
comports with his theories for admission argued at trial.  See
Tex. R. App. P. 33.1(a); Routier v. State, 112 S.W.3d 554, 586
(Tex. Crim. App. 2003), cert. denied, 124
S. Ct. 2157 (2004); Dixon v. State, 2 S.W.3d 263, 273 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999) (op. on
reh’g).  Accordingly, Appellant forfeits his
complaint.  See id.  We overrule
Appellant’s issue, and affirm the judgment.
