Aguilar, Cristian

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-82,014-01 EX PARTE CRISTIAN AGUILAR, Applicant ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 1388321-A IN THE 337TH DISTRICT COURT FROM HARRIS 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 attempted evading detention and sentenced to 180 days in the county jail. He did not appeal his conviction. Applicant contends that trial counsel failed to properly advise him of the deportation consequences of his guilty plea. See Padilla v. Kentucky, 559 U.S. 356 (2010). The trial court made findings of fact and conclusions of law and recommended that we set aside Applicant’s conviction. The State agreed. We believe that the record is not adequate to resolve Applicant’s claim. Applicant has alleged facts that, if true, might entitle him to relief. Strickland v. Washington, 2 466 U.S. 668 (1984); Ex parte Patterson, 993 S.W.2d 114, 115 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999). 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. Applicant appears to be represented by counsel. If he is not and 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 him at the hearing. TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 26.04. The trial court shall make further findings of fact and conclusions of law as to whether removal proceedings have been initiated in Applicant’s case and his conviction is a deportable offense. 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 claim 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. Filed: January 14, 2015 Do not publish
