EX PARTE SAMUEL LEE JONES, JR., Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. W11-14842-H(C) IN THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 1 FROM DALLAS COUNTY
Per curiam. Alcala , J., filed a concurring opinion. 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 the offense of aggravated assault of a witness or informant and sentenced to imprisonment for life.
On January 6, 2016, an order designating issues was signed by the trial court. The habeas record has been properly forwarded to this Court by the district clerk pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 73.4(b)(5). However, the record has been forwarded without the trial court having resolved the designated issue in this case. We remand this application to the District Court of Dallas County to allow the trial judge to complete an evidentiary investigation and enter findings of fact and conclusions of law.
This application 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. Filed: September 21, 2016
