PATRICK E. HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge:

For at least the third time in as many years, we pass upon a case in which a Texas court convicted a defendant of molesting a child after a trial in which the jury, over the defendant's objection, watched a videotaped interview of the victim describing the alleged acts of sexual abuse, an interview at which no representative of the defendant was present.
