MOTION '1'0 catPEL
'1'0 THE JUDGES OF 'l'HE caJRT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:
COMES NCM, William Mcintosh, "Movant", Pro Se and . respectfully files
this his MOTION TO COMPEL.
l.
This most Honorable Court holds injuctive I mandamus subject matter
jurisdiction over the issue and parties involved. See, In re Bonilla, 424
s.w. 3d
----(Tex.Crim. App. 2014).

On May 28, 2014, the Movant sent a letter to the District Attorney of
Ellis County requesting ato puchase copies of some of the paperwork involved
in his criminal conviction in order to file a 11.0783 habeas corpus .(see
attached) ·
III.
On December 15, 2014, Movant then notifed the jduge of the 40th Judicial
District that the D.A.'s office only sent a letter denying the request under
section 552. 223(a)(l). and asking the Judge to order the D.A. to inform the
Movant of said costs. (See attached letter to Honorable Bob Carroll).
IV.
Having notifed the Judge of said court about this the Movant now has
no other adequate remedy of law available to him and requests this Court
to issue appropriate orders that the District Attorney of Ellis County inform
Movant of the costs so that he may be able to purchase a copy of said records.
So that he may file an accurate 11.073 habeas corpus in the interest of justict
and so that accuracy over finality may be practiced.

WHEREFORE,. PREMISES CONSIDERED, Movant prays this most Honorable court
would Grant this motion: entering orderes that Distrct Attorney Patrick Wilson
shall supply Movant with a list of how much it will cost to obtain the records

Re: cause no.'s 20,084 CR et al.

Sir,
I recently wrote to the District Attorney and requ~sted inormation from .
the D.A. regarding my criminal conviction, as referenc~d in the above numbere!
cause number. He responded back quoting Section 552~223(a){l) where he does
not have to comply with a request from an inmate. (See Attached Letter).
Recently the Texas Court of Criminal Appe~ls handed downa decision
that deals with this type of issue. In Re Rosali Bonilla, 424 s.w. 3d 529
(Tex.Crim. App. 2014). In which the Court stated the following; "For ''an indigent
inmate wishing to pursue an application for a writ of habeas cotpus in a
non-death case under Article 11.07, as here, ordinarily the burde~ falls
solely on him, without appointment of counsel, to initially file his applic-
action. An Applicant will usually only get only one bite of the habeas corpus
apple because se~tion 4 of article 11.07 precludes a court from conmsidering
the merits of or granting relief based on a asubsequent application unless
the application·' contains sufficient specific facts establishing one of the
two limited exceptions to the one-bite rule. See Tex.Code.Crim.Proc. art.
11.07 §4."
"In all likelihood, an applicant will need obtain and review his
trial and appellate transcripts to ensure that he considered the entire
record so that he may present all his claims at what will likely be his first
and only bite at the habeas corpus apple. And the first step to obtaininga ·
transcript is to find out how much it costs. By refusing to tell the relator
how much it would cost to purchase a transcript, the district clerk cut off
relators ability to prepare and present a complete application for a writ
of habeas corpus."
"By depriving relator of the information about the costs to obtai his
trial and appellate transcripts, the district clerk's policy invoking section
552.028 deprived relator of the ability to prepare an application for a writ
of habeas corpus that included all possible grounds for and thereby denied
him the right to access the courts."
This is a similiar situation except tha the information would be use
to file a 11.073 writ of habeas corpus which the Texas Court of Criminal
Appeals handed down an opinion in Ex Parte Robbins No. WR-73,484-02 and they
determined that 11.073 qualifies as new law and overcomes a ®4 bar of the
writ. So the D.A. has effectively denied me access to the courts. .
I am now asking you to order the D.A. to turn over the following paper
work or inform me of the cost to ac~uire a copy of the list of paperwork
so that I may parchase said from the D.A. s office.
1. All Doctors reports from Dr. R. Walton and A Dr. Prescott.
2. A copy of the polygraph examination viddeotape and transcript.
3. Affidavits from Christine McMurray and Linda McMurray.
4. A copy of the interview of Victim by Arlette Werthman as well as a copy
of the interview of Crystal, McRae.
These items are in the possission of the D.A.'s office and are needed
to have an expert review them and determine if I have sufficient need to
file a writ on the 11.073 section. Please inform of what you determine.
