Annotate this CaseApplicant sought relief from his 55-year sentence for aggravated robbery and this was applicant's first subsequent application for a writ of habeas corpus. Applicant claimed that a new legal basis that was previously unavailable when he filed his first habeas application entitled him to consideration of, and relief, on his due-process false-testimony claim. Although the court found that applicant was not procedurally barred from raising his claim, the court concluded that he failed to establish a due-process violation by the State's unknowing use of false testimony at his trial. Accordingly, the court denied relief.
