IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-70,415-02

EX PARTE CHARLES THOMAS, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 02F0288102 IN THE 102ND DISTRICT COURT

FROM BOWIE 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 possession of a controlled substance and sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.

Applicant contends that he was denied pre-sentence time and that trial 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 do not fully address all fact issues necessary to the resolution of the claims raised by Applicant. Nonetheless, this Court has undertaken an independent review of all the evidence in the record. Therefore, 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.
