On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. WX22-92138-U.
ORDER
ROBERT D. BURNS, III, CHIEF JUSTICE.
The Court is in receipt of appellant's notice of appeal from the trial court's order denying relief on his application for writ of habeas corpus. This is an accelerated appeal and is governed by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 31.
We ORDER the trial court to prepare a certification of appellant's right to appeal and to file it with the clerk's record.
We ORDER the Dallas County District Clerk to file the clerk's record by October 3, 2022. We ORDER that the clerk's record contain copies of the application for writ of habeas corpus, any response to the writ application filed by the State, any other documents related to the writ application, the trial court's written order ruling on the writ application, the trial court's findings of fact and conclusions of law on the writ application, the trial court's certification of the right to appeal, and any other documents filed with the clerk that the parties request.
We ORDER Official Court Reporter Sasha Brooks to file, or coordinate the filing of, the reporter's record of the hearing on the writ application. The reporter's record shall be due by October 3, 2022. If the trial court denied relief without conducting a hearing, or if the reporter's record is unavailable for filing for other reasons, we ORDER Official Court Reporter Sasha Brooks to file a letter with the Court by October 3, 2022, stating why no reporter's record has been filed.
We ORDER appellant to file his brief by October 24, 2022. We ORDER the State to file its brief by November 14, 2022. If appellant desires to file a reply brief, the reply brief is due within ten days of the date the State files its brief.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Stephanie Huff, Presiding Judge, 291st Judicial District Court; Sasha Brooks, official court reporter, 291st Judicial District Court; Felicia Pitre, Dallas County District Clerk; and counsel for all parties.
