	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.
	Applicant was convicted in May 2008 of capital murder committed in May 2007. 
Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 19.03(a)(1).  Based on the jury's answers to the special issues set
forth in the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 37.071, sections 2(b) and 2(e), the
trial court sentenced him to death.  Art. 37.071, § 2(g). (1)  This Court affirmed applicant's
conviction and sentence on direct appeal.  Mays v. State, 318 S.W.3d 368 (Tex. Crim. App.
2010).
	Applicant presented nine allegations in his application in which he challenges the
validity of his conviction and sentence.  The trial judge entered findings of fact and
conclusions of law and recommended that relief be denied.
	This Court has reviewed the record with respect to the allegations made by applicant. 
We agree with the trial judge's recommendation and adopt the trial judge's findings and
conclusions.  Further, we hold that applicant's first claim is procedurally barred.  Based upon
the trial court's findings and conclusions and our own review of the record, relief is denied.
	IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 16TH DAY OF MARCH, 2011.
