Trevino, Oscar










IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS




NO. WR-79,653-02





EX PARTE OSCAR TREVINO, Applicant





ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. W01-56745-M(B) IN THE 194TH DISTRICT COURT

FROM DALLAS 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). Applicant was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment. The Fifth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Trevino v. State, No. 05-10-01553-CR (Tex. App.—Dallas 2012, no pet.).

            Applicant contends that: (1) trial counsel failed to investigate whether the trial court’s jurisdiction to place Applicant on probation, after he participated in a boot camp program, had expired; (2) trial counsel failed to investigate whether Applicant was denied credit for the period he spent on probation; and (3) the trial court should reform the judgment.

            The trial court found that Applicant was placed on probation outside of the 90-day window for defendants who participate in boot camp. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 42.12, § 8(a) (2001). The trial court concluded that Applicant’s release was erroneous and recommended that we grant Applicant credit on his sentence from February 11, 2005 to October 16, 2012.

            We disagree. Even if it could be said that Applicant was erroneously released, while on probation he violated the conditions of his release. As he concedes in his memorandum, the trial court found that he violated the conditions of his probation by driving while intoxicated and by not having a deep-lung breath analysis mechanism installed in his car. We conclude that Applicant’s case is distinguishable from this Court’s previous holdings on erroneous release. See Ex parte Baker, 297 S.W.3d 256 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009); Ex parte Rowe, 2009 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 150 (Tex. Crim. App. Feb. 4, 2009). Relief is denied.
