IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS




NO. WR-80,363-03





EX PARTE NORBERTO AHUMADA LUCIO, Applicant





ON APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 09-CR-2611

IN THE 357TH DISTRICT COURT FROM CAMERON COUNTY





            Per curiam.

 

O R D E R


            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). In Cause No. 09-CR-2611, Applicant was convicted of theft in the aggregate and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.

            Applicant contends that his sentence is illegal. Applicant has alleged facts that, if true, might entitle him to relief. In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. As we held in Ex parte Rodriguez, 334 S.W.2d 294, 294 (Tex. Crim. App. 1960), the trial court is the appropriate forum for findings of fact. The trial court may use any means set out in Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 3(d). In the appropriate case, the trial court may rely on its personal recollection. Id.

            If the trial court elects to hold a hearing, it shall determine whether Applicant is indigent. If Applicant is indigent and wishes to be represented by counsel, the trial court shall appoint an attorney to represent Applicant at the hearing. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 26.04.

              The trial court shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law as to why the judgment in the nunc pro tunc order in Cause No. 09-CR-2611 has four separate counts and four separate sentences. The trial court shall also make any other findings of fact and conclusions of law that it deems relevant and appropriate to the disposition of Applicant’s claims for habeas corpus relief.

            This application will be held in abeyance until the trial court has resolved the fact issues. The issues shall be resolved within 90 days of this order. A supplemental transcript containing all affidavits and interrogatories or the transcription of the court reporter’s notes from any hearing or deposition, along with the trial court’s supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall be forwarded to this Court within 120 days of the date of this order. Any extensions of time shall be obtained from this Court.
