IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-73,230-03
EX PARTE TONY ZAMARRIPA, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 2010CR9778-W1 IN THE 379TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM BEXAR COUNTY
Per curiam. HERVEY and YEARY , JJ., not participating.
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 aggravated
kidnapping and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment. The Fourth Court of Appeals affirmed his
conviction. Zamarippa v. State, No. 04-11-00331-CR (Tex. App. — San Antonio, May 16, 2012)
(not designated for publication).
In this habeas application, Applicant alleges that he has newly discovered evidence of actual
innocence, and that he received ineffective assistance of trial counsel. On September 8, 2015, the
trial court held a habeas hearing, and on March 10, 2016, the trial court entered findings of fact and
2
conclusions of law. The trial court recommended that relief be granted on the basis of actual
innocence.
This Court has undertaken an independent review of all the evidence in the record, and has
determined that Applicant has not met his burden of demonstrating that the newly discovered
evidence, if true, creates a doubt as to the efficacy of the verdict sufficient to undermine confidence
in the verdict and that it is probable that the verdict would be different on retrial. Ex parte Elizondo,
947 S.W.2d 202, 208 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). Therefore, based on this Court’s independent review
of the entire record, we deny relief.
