CLINTON, Judge,

¶1dissenting.

¶2Because I agree substantially with the sufficiency analysis conducted by the court of appeals in reviewing all the evidence, albeit not some of the language it used, Adelman v. State, 731 S.W.2d 143 (Tex.App.—Houston [1st] 1987), while the majority practically resurrects the discredited “some evidence” treatment the Court formerly administered in, e.g., Banks v. State, 510 S.W.2d 592, 595 (Tex.Cr.App.1974), and reprised in Combs v. State, 643 S.W.2d 709, 716-717 (Tex.Cr.App.1982), I respectfully dissent.
