EX PARTE SAMUEL ASHTON MILLS
On Appeal from the 219th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 219-81922-2022
ORDER
BILL PEDERSEN, III JUSTICE
The Court is in receipt of appellant's notice of appeal from the trial court's order denying relief on his pretrial 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 Collin County District Clerk to file the clerk's record by September 2, 2022. We ORDER that the clerk's record contain copies of the charging instrument, 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 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 Tonya Lebo 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 September 2, 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 Tonya Lebo to file a letter with the Court by September 2, 2022, stating why no reporter's record has been filed.
We ORDER appellant to file his brief by September 23, 2022. We ORDER the State to file its brief by October 14, 2022. If appellant desires to file a reply brief, the reply brief is due within fifteen days of the date the State files its brief.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Jennifer Edgeworth, Presiding Judge, 219th Judicial District Court; Tonya Lebo, official court reporter, 219th Judicial District Court; Lynne Finley, Collin County District Clerk; and counsel for all parties.
