           Per curiam.

O R D E R

            Pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the clerk of the trial court transmitted to this Court this application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant pleaded guilty and was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child. A jury sentenced Applicant to sixty years’ imprisonment. The Seventh Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction and sentence. Pitchford v. State, No. 07-05-0254-CR (Tex. App.–Amarillo, February 28, 2007, pet. ref’d).

            This Court remanded the application to the trial court for findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding Applicant’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. After a live hearing, the trial court signed findings of fact and conclusions of law that were based on the record and the testimony at the writ hearing. The trial court recommended that relief be denied.

            This Court does not adopt the trial court’s conclusion of law number two. Based on the trial court’s other findings of fact and conclusions of law, as well as this Court’s independent review of the entire record, we deny relief.
