EX PARTE BARETTA ROBINSON, Applicant
ON APPLICATIONS FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NOS. 1116903-C and D IN THE 182nd DISTRICT COURT
FROM HARRIS 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 these applications for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex
parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of murder and
sentenced to twenty-five years’ imprisonment. The First Court of Appeals dismissed his appeal for
want of jurisdiction. Robinson v. State, No. 01-09-00890-CR (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Jan.
14, 2010) (not designated for publication).
In both applications, Applicant contends that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to
object to the indictment in this case.
On September 14, 2016, this Court dismissed Applicant’s -03 application pursuant to TEX .

CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07, § 4.1 We withdraw our previous ruling on our own motion.
Applicant’s prior application only raised an out-of-time appeal claim based on ineffective assistance
of counsel. And a prior application only seeking an out-of-time appeal does not raise a claim that
triggers the procedural bar of § 4. Ex parte McPherson, 32 S.W.3d 860 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000).
Therefore, Applicant’s -03 application was not barred from consideration by the provisions of § 4.
After a review of the record, we deny relief in both applications.
