Lang, Don Albert

Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-75,690-01 EX PARTE DON ALBERT LANG, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 07-01321-A IN THE 252ND DISTRICT COURT

FROM JEFFERSON COUNTY

Keasler, J., filed a concurring statement in which Hervey, J., joined.

CONCURRING STATEMENT

I agree with the Court's decision to deny relief. But I write to note that Applicant's grounds for relief that challenge the sufficiency of the evidence and the legality of his confession are not cognizable on habeas. ⁽¹⁾ I would therefore deny these claims on this basis, without reaching the merits.
