In February 2004, a jury convicted Applicant of the offense of capital murder. The jury also answered the special issues submitted pursuant to Article 37.071 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure in the favor of the State. The trial court, accordingly, set punishment at death. This Court subsequently affirmed Applicant's conviction and sentence on direct appeal in an unpublished opinion. Foster v.

We agree with the trial court's recommendation and adopt the trial judge's findings and conclusions. Based upon these findings and conclusions and our own review of the record, relief is denied. IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 21^ST DAY OF MARCH, 2006.
