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 these applications for writs of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of nine felonies. He pleaded guilty to four cases of possession of controlled substance, three of which were punished with twenty years' imprisonment, and one with sixty years' imprisonment. He pleaded guilty to four cases of forgery, three of which were punished with twenty years' imprisonment, and one with sixty years' imprisonment. He also pleaded guilty to one case of fraudulent use of identification and was sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment. The Seventh Court of Appeals affirmed his convictions. Tijerina v. State, Cause Nos. 07-06-0018-CR; 07-06-0019-CR; 07-06-0020-CR; 07-06-0021-CR; 07-06-0022-CR; 07-06-0023-CR; 07-06-0024-CR; 07-06-0025-CR; 07-06-0026-CR (Tex. App.-Amarillo, delivered December 5, 2006).

On April 2, 2008, this Court remanded these applications to the trial court for findings of fact and conclusions of law on a single ground of ineffective assistance of counsel. On November 6, 2008, the trial court made findings of fact and conclusions of law that were based on an affidavit from trial counsel. The trial court recommended that relief be denied.

Based on the trial court's findings of fact as well as this Court's independent review of the entire record, we deny relief.

It is so ordered on this the 14th day of January, 2009.
