OPINION

Appellant pleaded guilty to the offense of possession with intent to deliver of 400 grams or more of cocaine. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. � 481.112(a), (f) (Vernon Supp. 2002). In accordance with the agreed recommendation regarding punishment, the trial court assessed punishment at 15 years in prison. The trial court granted appellant the right to appeal the trial court’s ruling on the issue of entrapment, and appellant now argues in six points of error that: (1) appellant proved entrapment as a matter of law, or, in the alternative, the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to sustain the conviction because the State did not disprove entrapment beyond a reasonable doubt and (2) for several reasons, the trial court erred in admitting, over appellant’s objections, evidence of an alleged prior uncharged extraneous theft offense. We affirm.
