ON APPLICATIONS FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NOS. 989838-A, 1249490-A, and 1250001-A IN THE 263rd 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 sexual assault of a child, incest/prohibited sexual conduct, and sexual assault. He was sentenced to imprisonment for five years, eight years, and eight years, respectively. He did not appeal these convictions.
Applicant contends, inter alia, that trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance in these cases and that his pleas of guilty were involuntary. The trial court signed orders designating these issues to be resolved on August 16, 2012, but the habeas applications have been forwarded to this Court without findings of fact and conclusions of law from the trial court.
The record before this Court indicates that initial orders were entered by the trial court on September 7, 2010, and supplemental grounds were filed by the Applicant on October 10, 2011. These habeas applications have been forwarded in response to an abatement order issued by this Court as a result of a mandamus action filed by the Applicant.
These applications will be held in abeyance until the trial court has resolved the fact 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 shall be obtained from this Court. Do not publish
