ODOM, Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the disposition of this case; however, as to Salas’ last ground of error I restate my views expressed in Pete v. State, 533 S.W.2d 808:
“We are not unmindful of the possibility of conflict of interest whenever one attorney undertakes to represent co-defendants. See Morales v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 466 S.W.2d 293, 304 (concurring opinion). We are of the view, however, that counsel has the primary responsibility for advising clients of possible conflicts in their positions. See Stutes v. State, 530 S.W.2d 309, at 313, and DR5-105, Code of Professional Responsibility.”
I respectfully concur.
