IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-9,256-09
EX PARTE TONY EPPS, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. W15-55695-J(A) IN THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 3
FROM DALLAS 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 unlawful
possession of a firearm by a felon and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. He did not appeal his
conviction.
Applicant contends that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance because he failed to
file a motion to suppress and challenge Applicant’s illegal detention. The trial court has made
findings of facts and conclusions of law and recommends that relief be denied. In the findings, the
trial court noted that counsel provided the court with an affidavit addressing Applicant’s allegations.

However, the District Clerk has not forwarded counsel’s affidavit to this Court.
Therefore, the District Clerk of Dallas County is ordered to obtain a copy of counsel’s
affidavit, and to transmit it to this Court. This application will be held in abeyance until the affidavit
has been received by this Court. A supplemental transcript containing all affidavits and the
transcription of the court reporter’s notes from any hearing or deposition shall be forwarded to this
Court within 30 days of the date of this order. Any extensions of time shall be obtained from this
Court.
