IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-80,324-02
EX PARTE OSCAR DAVID PARDO, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. NO. 2011-CR-5260-W2 IN THE 379TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM BEXAR COUNTY
Per curiam. YEARY , J., not participating.
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 injury to a child
and sentenced to forty years’ imprisonment. The Fourth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction.
Pardo v. State, No. 04-13-00530-CR (Tex. App.—San Antonio Dec. 17, 2014) (not designated for
publication).
In his writ, Applicant raised ineffective assistance of counsel, jury charge error, and no
evidence. The trial court entered findings rejecting his claims. Applicant then filed a motion to
remand the case so he could avail himself of appointed habeas counsel’s assistance. Applicant
2
attached correspondence from a lawyer who said he was appointed, but withdrew due to a conflict.
Counsel told Applicant that a different lawyer was appointed on April 25, 2016, and that another
lawyer was appointed as of July 5, 2016. Applicant attached a purported order appointing habeas
counsel on that date. However, the record contains no filings from counsel and the findings and
conclusions were served on Applicant, not habeas counsel.
The trial court shall make supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law as to whether
Applicant was, in fact, appointed habeas counsel and, if so, whether habeas counsel wishes to take
any action on the case. The trial court may also make any other supplemental findings of fact and
conclusions of law that it deems relevant and appropriate to the disposition of Applicant’s claims
for habeas corpus relief.
This application will be held in abeyance until the trial court has resolved the issues. The
issues shall be resolved within 90 days of this order. A supplemental transcript containing all
affidavits and interrogatories or the transcription of the court reporter’s notes from any hearing or
deposition, along with the trial court’s supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall
be forwarded to this Court within 120 days of the date of this order. Any extensions of time must
be requested by the trial court and shall be obtained from this Court.
