IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-81,127-02
EX PARTE JAIME ZUBIA, JR., Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 78272-168-2 IN THE 168TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM EL PASO 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 the offense of
injury to a child and sentenced to imprisonment for seventy-five years. The Eighth Court of Appeals
affirmed his conviction. Zubia v. State, No. 08-96-00096-CR (Tex. App– El Paso March 19, 1998).
On June 18, 2014, an order designating issues was signed by the trial court which noted, “the
Clerk of the Court is ORDERED NOT to transmit at this time any other documents in the above-
styled case to the Court of Criminal Appeals until further ordered by this Court.” The application
was received by this Court two days later.
On July 23, 2014, this Court entered an order remanding this writ application back to the trial
court, noting the record appeared to have been forwarded prematurely.
On July 25, 2014, the State filed a motion to reconsider this Court’s order, stating that the
Court’s order designating issues was untimely and was vacated by the trial court on July 6, 2014.
This Court has no record of any order vacating the trial court’s order designating issues.
However, it is now clear from the record that the order designating issues was untimely
signed. We now withdraw the order dated July 23, 2014, and remand this application to the 168th
District Court of El Paso County to allow the trial judge to complete an evidentiary investigation,
obtain affidavits, and enter findings of fact and conclusions of law.
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.
