Per Curiam.    


O R D E R


	This is a post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to the
provisions of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.071.
	In November 2003, a jury convicted Applicant of the offense of capital murder.  The
jury answered the special issues submitted under Article 37.071 of the Texas Code of
Criminal Procedure, and the trial court, accordingly, set punishment at death.  This Court
affirmed Applicant's conviction and sentence on direct appeal.  Murphy v. State, No. AP-74,851 (Tex. Crim. App. April 26, 2006).   
	Applicant presents eight allegations in his application in which he challenges the
validity of his conviction and resulting sentence.  The trial court did not hold an evidentiary
hearing.  The trial court entered findings of fact and conclusions of law and recommended
that the relief sought 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, the relief sought is denied. 
	IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 1ST DAY OF JULY, 2009.
