OF TEXAS
NO. 73,304
EX PARTE JEFFREY NICKEY DAVIS, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
FROM DALLAS COUNTY ___
The opinion was deliveredpercuriam.
OPINION
This is a post-conviction application for a writ of habeas corpus forwarded to this Court
pursuant to Article 11.07, §3, et seq., V.A.C.C.P. The Applicant contends he was denied his right
to appeal from his conviction for attempting to compel prostitution. The trial court entered findings
of fact and conclusions of law in which it was recommended that Applicant be granted an out-of-
time appeal. We agree with the recommendation in that the record reflects that Applicant was denied
an appeal through no fault ofhis own. We find Applicant is entitled to relief.
Habeas corpus relief is granted and Applicant is granted an out-of-time appeal from his
conviction in cause number F94-43381-N from the 195th District Court of Dallas County. The
proper remedy in acase such as this is to return Applicant to the point at which he can give notice
ofappeal. Forpurposes ofthe Texas Rules ofAppellate Procedure, all time limits shall becalculated
as ifthe conviction had been entered onthe day that the mandate ofthis Court issues. We hold that
Applicant, should he desire to prosecute an appeal, must take affirmative steps to see that notice of
appeal is given within thirty days after the mandate of this Court has issued.
