EX PARTE JUAN JOSEPH ROSILEZ, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 985474-C IN THE 183 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 aggravated sexual assault of a child and sentenced to life imprisonment. The Fourteenth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Rosilez v. State, No. 14-06-00430-CR (Tex. App.—Houston [14] Jan. 9, 2007).
Applicant contends that he is actually innocent and that his counsel was ineffective. Applicant has alleged facts that, if true, might entitle him to relief. Pearson v. State, 994 S.W.2d 176 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999). The trial court's findings of fact reference a habeas hearing which was held on December 6 and 13, 2016. The reporter's record from that hearing was not provided to this Court. In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. As we held in Ex parte Rodriguez, 334 S.W.2d 294, 294 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997), the trial court is the appropriate forum for findings of fact.
The trial court shall provide this Court with the reporter's record of the habeas hearing held in this cause. The trial court may also make any other findings of fact and conclusions of law that it deems relevant and appropriate to the disposition of Applicant's claim for habeas corpus relief, if necessary.
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. If any continuances are granted, a copy of the order granting the continuance shall be sent to this Court. 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 returned to this Court within 120 days of the date of this order. Any extensions of time must be requested by the trial court and shall be obtained from this Court. Filed: June 14, 2017
