EX PARTE WILBERT LEE WILLIAMS, Applicant


ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 620320-B IN THE 209TH 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 this application for writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of burglary of a building and was sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment. There was no direct appeal.

Applicant alleged that TDCJ was not giving him proper credit on his sentence. Citing to Ex parte Canada, 754 S.W.2d 660 (Tex. Crim. App. 1988), Applicant argued that he was being denied flat time for time spent incarcerated after a parole pre-revocation warrant was issued. Applicant had properly exhausted his administrative remedies with the TDCJ through its time-dispute resolution system, see TEX. GOV'T CODE § 501.0081, and this Court remanded this application to the trial court for additional findings of fact.

The trial court has made the additional findings of fact, returned the case to this Court, and recommends that relief be denied. After an independent review of the record, we agree with the trial court that Applicant is not entitled to the requested relief. Therefore, based on the trial court's amended findings of fact after remand as well as this Court's independent review of the record, relief is denied. Do not publish
