 STATEMENT OF CASE

On May 16th, 2017, Relator filed an Application for IJrit of Habeas Corpus

with the Twelfth County Court of Law for Bexar County regarding constitutional

violations resulting from a driving while intoxicated prosecution. State v.

Elias, Cause No. k21Q52 (12th Cty Ct., Bexar Cty. Tex., June 13, 201 if). See

Appendix, Exhibit 1, Application for Urit of Habeas Corpus, Procedural History,

pp. 1-2. The Bexar County Clerk received said application and assigned it Urit

No. 2704. The presiding judge has not set a date for hearing or ruled on said

writ.

Relator is currently confined to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice

Institutional Division at the O.B. Ellis Unit in Walker County, Huntsville,

Texas. He is unlawfully restrained of his liberty as a collateral consequence

to the above-referenced misdemeanor charge and has been since May 2013. At the

time said charge was filed, Relator was on parole for an unrelated case. See

State V. Elias, Cause No. 970D11232, 243rd Judicial District Court of El Peso

County, Texas, final judgment April IB, 2001. As a collateral consequence of

said misdemeanor DDI, he was arrested and confined. Relator is currently

confined due to his subsequent parole revocation.

Respondent, Honorable Judge Scott Roberts, has not set a date for hearing

nor ruled on said writ. Mr. Roberts is the presiding judge for the Twelfth

County.iCourt of Law for Bexar County, Texas. He was the presiding judge at

Relator's trial and is the current judge for the- Twelfth County Court of Law.

By delaying a hearing, he is in fact prolonging Relator's confinement.
 STATEMENT OF 3URISDICTIDW

Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, Rule 72.1, Relator is

required to file an Application for Leave to File tilrit of Handatnusiin order for

the court of appeals to exercise original jurisdiction. Relator submitted said

application uiith this original petition for urit of mandamus.

Further, this Application for lilrit of Mandamus complies uith the

stiplulations set forth by Rule 52 of the TRAP regarding form and content.

Rule 52.1, states:

"An original appellate proceeding sbeking extraordinary relief—^uch as a
iiirit of habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, injunction, or quo uarranto
is commenced by filing a petition uiith the clerk of the appropriate
appellate court..."

The Fourth Court of Appeals has original jurisdiction over cases originating in

Bexar County and therefore conferred jurisdiction to rule on this urit of

mandamus.

ISSUES PRESENTED

Respondent's failure to conduct a hearing regarding Relator's uirit of

habeas corpus in a timely fashion.

l>-'i r.-;iii .Ili.to.A-JJI.L! 20-}-i ('rincr5v) OS'J 7SJil-:V.y'i;i.o dencnstrntao by ouhsucction 6,

trial counsel failed to pursue several pretrial motions that poasossod the

putantial to change tije outcoms of ths trial. The CSSQ against Applicant

consistod of four witnesses for the prosecution versus ahsDlutely none for the

dafenau. The prosecution uubniittcjd three exhibits into the record iiiithoiit a

single objection from counsel for the derense. See A RR and 7v.
Two specific instance? reflect abnndonment of duty -. li. One, during
nis testimony, Officer Mel interjected the tlamaging charactemlion that
Applicant had a very arrogant stance abcct himoslf, to which iir. Dimsnez did
not object, 3 RR 57. The interjection of this subjective speculation cast a
negative light upon Applicant's character before the jury. Defense counsel
allowed thw prosecution, through its witnesses, to lanei Applicant creating a
backdrop for framing the jury's attitude towards this case. Once emocionally
charged connotations are attached to the proceedings, legal standards are
-12-
replacsd by s;iiotj.an£il onsa. Tha C3n'te>;t uf ths trial is shiftad frDm oriB based

apan the lau ta ana based upan stations. MeedlSoS to say, aubjsctive

charactsrizations mur.t be res trained to cantext and not ailowad to parmsats the

trial procsedintjs uhich happened in this case.

Sacandly, nfficsr Bandela testifiad that Applicant was not Mira.idizsd

until r.rz-t- lie was planed in ir^ndn'.if fs and cndar vvrt-Gt. V RR 12, Ti'Jc, any

vidsn ruafcaga or dialogue UAth officer's bnfore th'.:t point (usiiicn is tn..'

r.iEjority of the i/idsu) is inadmissible before the jury. This footage in the
singl'2 most damaging evidance introducad liy tha prosacution. Its admission

constitutes a violation of Applicant's Fifth Amendment rignt against salr-

incriiiiination.

Instead of ting aupprasaion, fir. dinanez abfuscates the time tha

Miranda rights wert - ;:i. Despite, testimony stating that the Miranda righti-.

utru rand after thn colloquy bntujean Applicant and officoro, Mr. Jimenez

argiias for its incorporation into the recnrr) aa a "Volj.ntary" admission. ^ RR

In a striking role revarsal, defense counsel ceases to be an advocate for

the defense and joins forces with the prosecution. Thsrs cannot possibly be

any strategic reason for couns.nl's action.

[•lith no adversarial challenge by defanae, thore is no rBSSonable

Expetation for the prosecution to check itsslf. In the procaas, evidence to

the contrary is glossed over and unCDnstitutional methods irnplementied to secure

s conviction. "If counnsl fails to subject the prosecution's caso to meaningful

adversarial testing, than there has been a denial of Sixth Amendment rights

that makes the adversary process itself prsBumptively unreliablK." See Mitchell,
n. 1 at 32't (quoting United States u* Cronic, kftG U.S. at 652, S.Ct. at

-13-
2407). Thun, the tricl rifiultt art not raliabie duo to a iirsak ciauin in tha

advnrsf.rial procssa.

UI. Diaproportionatf! puniahmsnt.

"ppX:.aant has hn:!."\ to orue]. and unusiioj. p-iniDhmant in the

far-n of dsliborate indiffsrancs and dispraportionata puniahmant undar tha Eighth

and Fourteenth AtnendmentB to tha United Ststfcil Constitution. Specifically,

pretrial detention for three huncrr.d ani eljhty (300) days as a result of a

class 3 misdemeanor aualting trial constitutes punishment disproportionate to

the statutcrily, mandated myximum punishment. Oee Texas Penal Code §§49.Q4{b)

and 1 ?.?.2{2) (punishment fui' drivin'; •.ihil;': i.nt3xiOGtnrl, nla? . j nlsdrmaanci, sot

at confinsiiiunt in tnn county jail not to exceed one nundrari and Eighty days).

Applicant was chargad uith the class 3 iiiisdestnnanor, driving uhile

intoxicated on May 24th, 2012. That day, ho uas released on Pond. On May 2;5th,

he uias arrested on a pra-rcuocation uarrant issued ny the Texas Deparliiiant uf

Crrminai Ousticn—Pardons and Paroles Division [Parole Div .un]. 3aj.d warrant

preclj.lad hand. As a result, Applicant jould rernain incar ' until the

resolution J.3d 189, 19A (Tex.Grim.App. 2010). The best evidence
of a national consensus with respect to the appropriateness of a particular
punishment for a particular offense is the legislation enacted by the nation's
legislature.-id. In this specific instance, legislation set the appropriate
punishment at a term of confinement in the county jail, not to exceed one hundred
and eighty days," Bee Tex. Pen. Code §12.22(2).

UXI. Violation of dua process.

Applicant's due process rights uers contravened by punishment prior to
trial. "A ctetainae may not be punished prior to an adjudication of guilt in
accordance with due process of law." Ball v. bJolfiah, 99 S.Ct. 1361 , 1396 (197,).
-15-
Applicant petitioned the Parole Division and Court requesting the pre-revocation
warrant be lifted or the misdemeanor adjudicatfid, respectively. Neither party

provided Applicant with relief. This inaction serves as a warning to others who

may consider exercising fundamental constitutional rights to proceed with

caution.

"The inevitable effect of any such provision is, of course, to discourage

assertion of the Fifth Amendment right not to plead guilty and to deter exercise

of the Sixth Amendment right to demand a jury trial. If the provision had no

other purpose or effect than to chill the assertion of constitutional rights

by penalizing those who choose to exercise them, then it would be patently

unconstitutional." Gregg v. Georgia, i»2fi U.S. 15.1, 193, 96 S.Ct. 2909, 2935 (1976)

Applicant exercised hie Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights and has been penalized

for doing so. "A person on parole for one crime who is arrestad for a second

crime cannot be punished for the commission of the second crime until he is

found guilty of the commission of the second crime." Hamilton v, Lynns, 7A
F.3d 99, 104. The extended imposition of a blue warrant precluding bond has

unequivocQbly punished and discouraged the exercise of fundamental rights

without legitimate counterbalancing penological goals, punishtfiQ Applicant

PRIOR to trial. There is no way around the injury to Applicant due to disregard

for constitutional tenets.

UIII. Spaedy trial violation.

Applicant has been denied his Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment right to a

speedy trial. The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, as extended
-16-
to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment, guarantees the criminally

accused the right to a speedy trial. See State v. Rangel, 980 S.U.Zd SAO, 943

(Tex.App.—San Antonio 1990). Similarly, the Texas Constitution guarantees the
right to a speedy trial. Tax.Const.art. I, §10."-id. Applicant spent fourteen

(14) months' in the Bexar County Adult Detention Center before his misdemeanor

trial. Paradoxically, the misdemeanor pending against him carried a maximum,

statutory punishment of six (fa) months' confinement in the county jail. See

Settrom U and UI; see also Texas Penal Code §§49.D4(b) and 12.22(2).

The reviewing court must balance four factors when analyzing the grant

or denial of a speedy trial claim. "The factors are: (1) length of the delay;

(2) reason for the delay; (3) assertion of the right; and (4) prejudice to the

accused." Stock v. State, 214 S.lil.3d 761, 764 (Tex.App.-Austin 2007)(quoting

Barker v. Uingo, 4Q7 U.S. 514, 53D, 92 S.Ct. 2182, 33 L.Ed,2d 101 (1972)).

In this casa, the delay was fourteen (14) months. Applicant understood

the delay to be due to a crowded docket, in part. "Upon a finding that a

presumptively prejudicial delay has occurred, the State bears the initial

burden of justifying the delay." Rangel, at 843. The primary burden is on the

State and the trial courts to ensure that defendants are afforded their right

to a speedy trial. See CR 1D-12, Ground I or Section U. Counsel for defense

failed to pursue these motions. The final factor, or prejudice, is inherent

with continued pretrial detention. All four factors are met by Applicant's

causa for relief. Relief under this ground calls for reversal of the above

referenced cause and dismissal with prejudice. See Stock; see also State v.

Guerrero, 110 S.W.3d 155 (Tex.App.—San Antonio 2003).

-17-
 Prayer

Uherafore, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Applicant reapectfully prays that this

hcnorabia Court set asids the final judgment and sentence in the abovB-referencBd

cause and order the conviction for Cause No. kZlZ\52 void and null. Applicant

also prays for any other relief that this Court defints equitable and necessary.
