700-01 (Tex. App.--Waco 1988, no pet.). The circumstances surrounding Waxler's September 7 and 11 meetings with Spivey suggest Waxler was not under arrest or otherwise in state custody at that time, nor can we glean any suggestion to the contrary from the record before us. (2) Accordingly, the strictures of Article 38.22 neither applied during Waxler's meetings with Spivey nor prohibited the trial court's consideration of any statements made during these noncustodial events.
We overrule Waxler's sole point of error and affirm the trial court's judgment.

"At trial, the defendant bears the initial burden of proving that a statement was the product of 'custodial interrogation.'" Herrera v. State, 241 S.W.3d 520, 526 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007). The record in this case shows Waxler brought forth no evidence that even begins to suggest the conditions surrounding his meeting with Spivey created a custodial environment requiring Miranda warnings or compliance with Article 38.22. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 38.22; Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966).
