the convicting court sentenced applicant to death.  This Court affirmed applicant's conviction
and sentence on direct appeal.  Ward v. State, No. AP-74,695 (Tex. Crim. App., May 23,

amended findings of fact and conclusions of law and recommended that relief be denied.

We agree with the trial judge's recommendation and adopt the trial judge's amended findings
and conclusions with the following exceptions: Claim for Relief Number One, Findings of
Fact Section M, first sentence of paragraph 32, and paragraphs 71 and 88.  Based upon the
trial court's amended findings and conclusions and our own review of the record, relief is
denied.
