The opinion

TOM G. DAVIS, Judge,

concurring.

While I cannot join that portion of the opinion which holds that the issue of volun-tariness of Carol Johnson’s consent to search was not preserved for review, I agree that the evidence supports the conclusion that Johnson voluntarily consented to the search.
