Question on Lesser Included Offense Login/Join

I am working on an aggravated sexual assault of child by digital penetration. Can I get a lesser included offense instruction to the jury of indecency with a child by contact?

Yes, as long as it's for the same act. (ie, the only question is whether he penetrated or not) See Evans v. State, 299 S.W.3d 138 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009).
