OPINION

Appellant Aftab Ali pleaded guilty to the offense of delivery of drug paraphernalia. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.125(b) (West 2010). Punishment was assessed at 180 days in county jail and a fine of $4,000. The trial court suspended imposition of the sentence and placed Ali on community supervision for 12 months. Subsequently, Ali filed an application for writ of habeas corpus, alleging that his trial counsel was ineffective in failing to warn him of the immigration consequences of his guilty plea. The trial court denied the application. In a single issue on appeal, Ali asserts that he is entitled to habeas relief. We will affirm the trial court’s order.
