We have reviewed the record and the briefs submitted by the parties and
hold that Bradley failed to meet his burden of establishing that the state court’s
adjudication of his claims resulted in a decision that was contrary to federal law.
See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d); Williams v. Taylor, 529 U.S. 362, 402-13 (2000); Jackson
v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 324-25 (1979); Wilmeth v. State, 808 S.W.2d 703,
705-06 (Tex. Ct. App. 1991). Accordingly, we affirm.
AFFIRMED.
