MEMORANDUM OPINION (footnote: 1) ON REHEARING
------------
After reconsidering our prior opinion on appellant Oscar Eric Galvan’s motion for rehearing, we deny the motion, but we withdraw our memorandum opinion and judgment of June 29, 2006, and substitute the following.
Appellant appeals his conviction for sexual assault of a child. In two points, he complains that the trial court erred by (1) improperly admonishing him, which rendered his guilty plea involuntary, and (2) failing to submit sex offender conditions of community supervision in the jury charge. We affirm.
Appellant, who was twenty-four, and complainant, who was fifteen, became acquainted through the internet, and later began to have lengthy telephone conversations. Complainant lived in Victorville, California, and appellant lived in Fort Worth, Texas. Appellant eventually decided to drive to California with his cousin to retrieve complainant. After they picked up complainant in California, appellant and his cousin drove her back to Fort Worth, where appellant rented a room at a motel, and he and complainant engaged in sexual intercourse.
Appellant pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a child under seventeen. (footnote: 2) After hearing all the evidence, a jury assessed his punishment at seven years’ confinement plus a $5,000 fine.
Before this case was submitted on appeal, the State challenged the accuracy of the reporter’s record with respect to the trial court’s admonishments and appellant’s request for jury instructions. (footnote: 3) We then abated the appeal and directed the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine whether the reporter’s record accurately reflected that before appellant entered his guilty plea, the trial court admonished him that he was charged with indecency with a child, and whether appellant’s trial counsel requested that the sex offender conditions of community supervision in section 13D of article 42.12 of the code of criminal procedure be included in the jury charge. (footnote: 4)
With regard to whether appellant was admonished, the trial court found the following:
[I]f the record were correct[,] the record would recite that [the court] admonished [appellant] for the offense of sexual assault of a child under the age of 17; that the first filing by the court reporter was an erroneous recitation of that event; that the supplemental filing is a correct recitation of that event; and [the trial court] order[ed] that the court reporter correct the inaccuracy by filing a certified correction with the appellate court.
In addition, the trial court concluded that the original reporter’s record accurately reflected that appellant’s trial counsel had requested that the jury charge include the conditions of community supervision in article 42.12, section 13D of the code of criminal procedure. The trial court stated, “I find that he said D. It’s clear to me from listening to the tape here in court that’s what he said.”
In his first point, appellant argues that the trial court improperly admonished him on indecency with a child, which rendered his guilty plea involuntary and violated his federal rights to due process. The record, however, shows that appellant was properly admonished for pleading guilty to sexual assault. We overrule his first point.
In his second point, appellant contends that the trial court erred by denying his request to include sex offender conditions of community supervision in the jury charge under section 13B of article 42.12, along with the regular conditions that were already included. The record shows, however, that appellant requested that the trial court include the conditions of probation under section 13D, rather than 13B. (footnote: 5) Therefore, appellant’s argument was not properly presented to the trial court and is not preserved for our review. (footnote: 6) We overrule appellant’s second point.
Having overruled all of appellant’s points, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.

See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
2:
See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.011(a)(2) (Vernon Supp. 2006). Appellant contends that he pleaded guilty to indecency with a child. The supplemental reporter’s record and the record from the abatement hearing, however, reflect that appellant pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a child under seventeen.
3:
Appellant did not respond to the State’s motion. The State filed a joint certificate of conference and service, stating that appellant’s counsel had no objection to the extension of time and that appellant’s counsel did not agree that the reporter’s record contained any inaccuracies that needed to be corrected.

Ann. art. 42.12, § 13B (Vernon Supp. 2006) (providing conditions of probation for defendants convicted of a sexual offense against a child, which prevent defendant from participating in activities involving children and require sex offender counseling), § 13D (delineating conditions of probation for a defendant convicted of certain offenses, which prevent a defendant from entering a particular child safety zone and prohibit defendant from participating in activities involving children). Section 13D expressly states that it “does not apply to a defendant described by Section 13B.” Id. § 13D(c).
