OPINION
Opinion By
Justice MURPHY.
Jeffrey Alan Haywood appeals his conviction for tampering with physical evidence. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 37.09(a)(2) (West 2003). In three points of error, Haywood challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his conviction and the trial court’s denial of his requests to set aside the indictment because (1) the prosecuting attorney was disqualified due to a conflict of interest and (2) under the doctrine of in pari materia, he should have been prosecuted under subsection 37.10(a) for tampering with a governmental record. We affirm.
