This is a post conviction application for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to the provisions of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure article 11.071. On November 20, 2003, a jury convicted applicant of the offense of capital murder. The jury answered the special issues submitted pursuant to Texas Code of Criminal Procedure article 37.071, and the trial court, accordingly, set punishment at death. This Court affirmed applicant's conviction and sentence on direct appeal. Swain v. State, 181 S.W.3d 359 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005).

An evidentiary hearing was held, and the trial judge entered findings of fact and conclusions of law. The trial court recommended that relief be denied. This Court has reviewed the record with respect to the allegations made by applicant. We adopt the trial judge's findings and conclusions. Based upon the trial court's findings and conclusions and our own review, relief is denied. IT IS SO ORDERED.
