EX PARTE DONALD DEAN GOWER, Applicant

---

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 8126 IN THE 27^TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

FROM LAMPASAS COUNTY

   Per curiam.

O R D E R  

   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 writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. His conviction was affirmed on appeal. Gower v. State, No. 0-08-00570-CR (Tex. App. - Austin, November 5, 2010).

On February 17, 2012, the trial court made findings of fact and conclusions of law, recommending that relief be denied.

The trial court's findings did not fully address all fact issues necessary to the resolution of the claims that were 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.
