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.

After a review of the record, we find that Applicant’s claim of newly discovered evidence is without merit. Therefore, we deny relief.
