*751OPINION ON STATE’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

PER CURIAM.

Appellant was convicted for aggravated ‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‍robbery and burglary of a habitation in a single trial. The Court of Appeals reversed the convictions, holding the trial court erred ‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‍by denying appellant’s motion for severance. Wedlow v. State, 807 S.W.2d 847 (Tex.App.—Dallas 1991).

In its petition, the State raises two grounds for review questioning the ‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‍appellate court’s application of this Court’s holding in Sodipo v. State, 815 S.W.2d 551 (Tex.Cr.App.1990). As is true in every case where discretionary review is ‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‍refused, this refusal does not constitute endorsement or adoption of the reasoning employed by the Court of Appeals. Sheffield v. State, 650 S.W.2d 813 (Tex.Cr.App.1983). ‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‍With this understanding, we refuse the State’s petition for discretionary review.
