Francis v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided March 13, 1991
805 S.W.2d 474; 1991 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 53; 1991 WL 32402 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Francis v. State

Opinion of the Court

OPINION

PER CURIAM.

A jury convicted appellant of murder and assessed punishment at confinement for life plus a fine of $10,000. The Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction. Francis v. State, 801 S.W.2d 548, (Tex.App.—Houston [14th], 1990).

Appellant raises four grounds for review. After careful review we refuse appellant’s petition for review. However, as is true in every case in which discretionary review is refused, 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 *475(Tex.Cr.App. 1983). With this understanding, we refuse appellant’s petition for discretionary review.
