IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-67,418-02
EX PARTE MICHAEL JACQUES, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 20020D03178-168-2 IN THE 384TH 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 capital murder
and sentenced to life imprisonment. The Eighth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Jacques
v. State, 08-02-00491-CR (Tex. App.– El Paso Aug. 12, 2004)(not designated for publication).
After a review of the record and the trial court’s findings, we find that Applicant’s false
testimony claims in grounds one and two, newly available evidence claim in ground four, and the
suppression of exculpatory evidence (that a State’s witness’ father had brokered a deal with the FBI
for the witness to avoid prosecution) claim in ground five, are all without merit. Therefore, we deny
relief.
Applicant’s false testimony claim in ground three, suppression of an article written by the
State’s expert claim in ground five, due process violation claim in ground six, no evidence claim in
ground seven, and actual innocence claim in ground eight are dismissed as subsequent. TEX . CODE
CRIM . PRO . Art. 11.07 §4(a)-(c).
