IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-83,703-01
EX PARTE ALVARO SANCHEZ, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 08-CR-00000874-E IN THE 357TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM CAMERON COUNTY
Per curiam.
ORDER
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the
clerk of the trial court transmitted to this Court this application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte
Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of driving while
intoxicated and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.
Applicant contends that he was denied pre-sentence credit and that trial counsel failed to
request such credit when Applicant was sentenced. The trial court concluded that trial counsel was
not ineffective, but it recommended that Applicant receive 322 days of pre-sentence credit.
We agree that Applicant has not demonstrated that trial counsel was ineffective. This ground
is denied. Applicant’s other grounds relating to pre-sentence credit are dismissed. He should file
2
a motion for a judgment nunc pro tunc. Ex parte Ybarra, 149 S.W.3d 147, 148-49 (Tex. Crim. App.
2004). If the trial court denies his motion or fails to respond, Applicant may file an application for
a writ of mandamus in the court of appeals. Ex parte Florence, 319 S.W.3d 695, 696 (Tex. Crim.
App. 2010). This application is denied in part and dismissed in part.
