IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NOS. WR-82,032-05 & -06
EX PARTE TY DOUGLAS GOSSETT, Applicant
ON APPLICATIONS FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NOS. 1202379D & 1202364D IN THE 432ND DISTRICT COURT
FROM TARRANT 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 these applications for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex
parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). In the -05 application, Applicant was
convicted of evading arrest and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment, and in the -06 application,
he was convicted of evading arrest and sentenced to eighteen years’ imprisonment. The Eighth
Court of Appeals affirmed his convictions. Gossett v. State, Nos. 08-11-00228-CR & 08-11-00227-
CR (Tex. App.—El Paso 2013, no pet.).
Applicant contends, among other things, that he was sentenced to multiple punishments in
2
violation of the Double Jeopardy Clause and that counsel failed to raise double jeopardy. The trial
court made findings of fact and conclusions of law. In the -05 application, it recommended that we
dismiss that application because Applicant’s sentence had discharged. TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art.
11.07, § 3(c). In the -06 application, it concluded that Applicant was sentenced to multiple
punishments and recommended that we set aside the evading arrest conviction in the -05 application.
See Landers v. State, 957 S.W.2d 558 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997). It also recommended that we deny
Applicant’s other claims in the -06 application.
We do not have jurisdiction to set aside the conviction in the -05 application. Applicant’s
sentence in this case has discharged, and he does not raise collateral consequences. This application
is dismissed.1 Because Applicant also argued in the -06 application that he was sentenced to
multiple punishments in violation of the Double Jeopardy Clause and this claim is tied to his double
jeopardy claim in the -05 application, we decline to review the merits of this application at this time.
This application is also dismissed.
