IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-83,840-01
EX PARTE JOSE EDUARDO OROZCO, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. C-1-010428-1208005-A
IN THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 1 FROM TARRANT COUNTY
Per curiam.
OPINION
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 possession of a
controlled substance and sentenced to thirty years’ imprisonment. The Eighth Court of Appeals
affirmed his conviction. Orozco v. State, No. 08-12-00051-CR (Tex. App. El Paso—Apr. 3, 2013).
Applicant contends that he was not notified of the appellate court’s decision in this case.
Appellate counsel filed an affidavit with the trial court stating that he timely sent Applicant notice,
but the prison mail logs show that Applicant did not receive any legal mail in the time frame
2
involved. The trial court has entered findings of fact and conclusions of law that Applicant is
entitled to relief due to a break down in the system. The trial court recommends that relief be
granted. Ex parte Riley, 193 S.W.3d 900 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003).
We find, therefore, that Applicant is entitled to the opportunity to file an out-of-time petition
for discretionary review of the judgment of the Eighth Court of Appeals in Cause No. 08-12-00051-
CR that affirmed his conviction in Cause No. 1208005D from the Criminal District Court No. 1 of
Tarrant County. Applicant shall file his petition for discretionary review with this Court within 30
days of the date on which this Court’s mandate issues.
