OPINION

CAMPBELL, Judge.

Appeal is taken from a conviction for capital murder. V.T.C.A. Penal Code, § 19.03(a)(2). After finding appellant guilty, the jury returned affirmative findings to the special issues under Art. 37.071, V.A.C.C.P. Punishment was assessed at death. We affirm.

Appellant was convicted of causing the death of Kosmas Prittis by shooting him with a gun while in the course of committing and attempting to commit the offense of robbery. Appellant does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence of guilt, therefore no recitation of the facts is necessary at this time. 1
