Opinion



IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

WR-35,410-02 & -03
EX PARTE WILLIE TERION WASHINGTON


ON APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 449603 IN THE 185TH DISTRICT COURT

HARRIS COUNTY

Per curiam.

O R D E R



These are subsequent applications for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.071, Section 5 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.

On November 17, 1986, applicant was convicted of the offense of capital murder. 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 conviction and sentence on direct appeal. Washington v. State, 771 S.W.2d 537 (Tex. Crim. App. 1989).

In his applications, applicant presented five allegations of prosecutorial misconduct. These claims, which satisfy the requirements of Article 11.071, Section 5 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, were remanded to the trial court for consideration. Applicant's remaining claims were dismissed.

The trial court, without holding an evidentiary hearing, adopted the State's proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law recommending 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, we deny relief.

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 28TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2007.
