ORDER

	This is a subsequent application for habeas corpus filed pursuant to Texas Code of
Criminal Procedure, Article 11.071, Section 5.  Applicant asserts three claims, that he is
mentally retarded and cannot be executed, that he was denied due process, and that he is
actually innocent.
	Applicant was convicted of capital murder in November 1984.  We affirmed the
conviction and sentence. Sosa v. State, 769 S.W.2d 909 (Tex.Crim.App. 1989).  On May 17,
1993, applicant filed his initial application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Article 

 Sosa   -2-

11.071.  We denied relief.  Ex parte Sosa, No. WR-24,852-01 (Tex.Crim.App. May 30,
1995).  Applicant filed a subsequent application for habeas corpus on October 14, 1999.  The
application was dismissed as an abuse of the writ on November 10, 1999.  
	We have reviewed this subsequent application and find that the first and third claims
