       Applicant was convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child and sentenced to thirty years’

imprisonment. The Fifth Court of Appeals dismissed his appeal. Watts v. State, No. 05-15-01336-

CR (Tex. App.—Dallas Dec. 22, 2015) (not designated for publication). 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.

       In his first and second grounds, Applicant contends that because of COVID-19, his sentence

is excessive and prison conditions pose a risk to his health. These grounds are denied. Applicant’s

remaining grounds are dismissed. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07, § 4. Accordingly, this

application is denied in part and dismissed in part.
