trial court shall appoint counsel to represent him at the hearing. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art.
26.04. If counsel is appointed or retained, the trial court shall immediately notify this Court of

the trial court shall make findings regarding the reasons for his ineligibility. If Applicant is eligible
for review, the trial court shall make findings regarding whether he has been reviewed for such
release. The trial court may make any other findings and conclusions that it deems appropriate in
response to Applicant’s claim.
