Johnson v. State
Johnson v. State
Opinion of the Court
OPINION
Appellant was convicted by a jury of murder. Punishment was assessed by the trial court at life in prison. On appeal the Houston Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction. Johnson v. State, 715 S.W.2d 402 (Tex.App.—Houston 1986).

As is true in every case where discretionary review is refused, however, this refusal does not constitute endorsement or adoption of the reasoning employed by the Court of Appeals. Sheffield v. State, 650 S.W.2d 813 (Tex.Cr.App. 1983).
With this understanding, we refuse appellant’s petition for discretionary review.
