## Opinion text

DUNCAN, Judge,
dissenting.
Irrespective of whether one relies upon the standards of Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 , 104 S.Ct. 2052 , 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984) or Ex parte Duffy, 607 S.W.2d 507 (Tex.Cr.App.1980) [which I prefer, see Ex parte Cruz, 739 S.W.2d 53 (Tex.Cr.App.1987) (Duncan, J., dissenting) ], counsel in this case was appallingly ineffective.
