ORDER

This is an application for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.071, Tex. Code Crim. Proc.

In June 2002, applicant was convicted of the offense of capital murder. ⁽¹⁾ The jury answered the special issues submitted pursuant to Article 37.071, Tex. Code Crim. Proc., and the trial court, accordingly, set punishment at death. This Court affirmed applicant's convictions and sentences on direct appeal. Holiday v. State, Nos. AP-74,446, AP-74,447 & AP-74,448 (Tex. Crim. App. delivered February 8, 2006) (not designated for publication).

Applicant presents twelve allegations in his application in which he challenges the validity of his convictions and resulting sentences. The trial court did not hold an evidentiary hearing. The trial court adopted the State's proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law recommending that the relief sought 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, we deny relief.

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 5^TH DAY OF MAY, 2010.
