OPINION ON APPELLANT’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

PER CURIAM.

Appellant was convicted by a ‍‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‍jury for manufacture of a controlled substance and punishment was assessed at 50 years confinement and a $50,000.00 fine. The conviction was ‍‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‍affirmed on appeal. Thompson v. State, 741 S.W.2d 229 (Tex.App.—Fort Worth 1987). Appellant filed a petition for discretionary review raising two grounds for review.

We agree ‍‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‍with the Court of Appeals that none of the grounds raised requires reversal. As is true in every case where discretionary review ‍‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‍is refused, however, this refusal does not constitute endorsement or adoption of the reasoning employed by the Court of Appeals. See Sheffield v. ‍‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‍State, 650 S.W.2d 813 (Tex.Cr.App.1983).

With this understanding, we refuse appellant’s petition for discretionary review.
