OPINION

Opinion by:

Patricia 0. Alvarez, Justice

On June 7, 2012, the jury found Appellant Julian Cédride Bell guilty of murder. Bell elected to have the trial court assess punishment, and the trial court assessed punishment at life imprisonment in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Bell raises two issues on appeal: (1) the State failed to produce evidence to support the enhancement allegation, and (2) his counsel’s actions amounted to ineffective assistance of counsel. We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
