Applicant was convicted of one count of possession of heroin and two counts of possession of cocaine and was sentenced to imprisonment for thirty-eight, thirty-three, and twenty-five years.

Applicant contends, among other things, that he was denied due process by the admission of false testimony. In its answer, the State asserted that this claim was not reviewable in an 2 application for a writ of habeas corpus. The trial court made findings of fact and conclusions of law, specifically finding the assertions in the State s answer correct, and recommended that we deny relief. We agree with the trial court s recommendation but decline to adopt its finding that the assertions in the State s answer are correct. Applicant s false testimony claim is reviewable in an application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Fierro, 934 S.W.2d 370 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). Relief is denied.
