IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-72,021-01

EX PARTE DOMINIC DWIGHT PRICE, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 720808 IN THE 232ND DISTRICT COURT

FROM HARRIS COUNTY

Pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the clerk of the trial court transmitted to this Court this application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of delivery of cocaine and sentenced to thirty-seven years' imprisonment. The Fourteenth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Price v. Texas, No. 14-96-01316-CR (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1998, pet. ref'd).

Applicant contends that the jury should have been instructed on the defense of entrapment and that trial and appellate counsel rendered ineffective assistance. The trial court made findings of fact and conclusions of law and recommended that relief be denied.

The trial court's findings and conclusions did not fully address Applicant's claims. Nonetheless, this Court has undertaken an independent review of all the evidence in the record, and based on the trial court's findings of fact and conclusions of law as well as this Court's independent review of the entire record, we deny relief.
