CR13-00185A IN THE 294TH DISTRICT COURT FROM VAN ZANDT COUNTY Per curiam. ORDER Applicant was convicted of five counts of injury to a child and sentenced to eighteen years’ imprisonment on each count. He waived his right to appeal. Applicant filed this application for a writ of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07. Applicant alleges that he is actually innocent, that false evidence was used to convict him, and that his trial counsel was ineffective. The trial court has signed agreed findings of fact recommending that this Court grant relief. We do not agree with the trial court. Applicant has not met his burden to show that he is entitled to habeas relief. He does not show that the information presented in support of his actual innocence claim is newly discovered. 2 Ex parte Elizondo,947 S.W.2d 202
, 208 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). He does not show that counsel’s performance was deficient or that he was harmed, nor does he show that the waiver of his appeal was involuntary. Strickland v. Washington,466 U.S. 668
(1984). He does not show that any testimony or evidence used against him was false. Ex parte Chabot,300 S.W.3d 768
, 772 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009). Based on this Court’s independent review of the entire record, we deny relief.
