- noting that the State’s need for extraneous-offense evidence was high when appellant argued that complainant had fabricated her allegations
- determining that State’s need for evidence “weighs strongly in favor of admission” because without the evidence, the State’s case would have amounted to the complainant’s word against the defendant’s
