Per curiam.

ORDER Applicant pleaded guilty to theft from an elderly person and was sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment. Applicant filed these applications for writs of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded them to this Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07.

This Court initially received the WR-91,044-01 application on March 12, 2020, and dismissed it for non-compliance with the Rules of Appellate Procedure on April 15, 2020. TEX . R. APP . P. 73.1(d). The Court has since received a supplemental record indicating that Applicant was not responsible for the apparent non-compliance. We now withdraw our order of April 15, 2020, and reconsider the WR-91,044-01 application on our own motion. TEX . R. APP . P. 79.2(d).

On June 22, 2020, this Court received the WR-91,044-03 application challenging the same conviction.

This Court has undertaken an independent review of all the evidence in the record.

Therefore, based on this Court’s independent review of the entire record, we deny relief.
