Questions Presented

1. Whether the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals should rehear its denial of the applicant's state habeas petition.
2. Whether an unpreserved facial or as-applied constitutional challenge to Texas Penal Code section 21.02 may be raised for the first time in a first state habeas proceeding.
3. Whether trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to or otherwise preserve a constitutional challenge to section 21.02.
