/li-e Vflfm Cam &lA~487 S.W.2d 361,
      362 (Tex.Crim.App. 1972) (defendant's complaint that he was not warned by counsel
      or trial court that conviction might later be used for enhancement was without merit
      where in prior case he was represented by counsel and was admonished of his rights).

30.   Hence, the Court finds the Applicant's allegations that his trial counsel was inef-
      fective for failing to investigate his case or failing to object to allegedly incomplete
      admonishments are not supported by the record.

                                   Conclusions of Law

       Based on the contentions raised by the Applicant, and a study of the applicable law

raised by the issues, this Court makes the following Conclusions of Law:

Grounds One & Two -Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

1.     The Applicant fails to show that his trial counsel's performance fell below an
       objective standard of reasonableness, or that he committed unprofessional errors
       hindering his defense. See Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 688, 104 S. Ct. 2052,
       80 L. Ed. 2d 674 (1984).

                                             Ill.

                                     Recommendation

       Having considered the Applicant's Petition, the State's Answer, and the record, the

Court recommends that relief requested be denied.

                                             IV.
