ON APPLICATIONS FOR WRITS OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NOS. W14-75623-I(B) & W14-75616-I(B) IN THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 2 FROM DALLAS COUNTY
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Applicant filed these applications for writs of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded them to this Court. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07. This Court remanded. The trial court appointed habeas counsel and held an evidentiary hearing on June 23, 2023, and September 15, 2023. The trial court entered findings, to which habeas counsel filed objections, and the district clerk returned the habeas records to this Court. The habeas records, however, do not contain transcriptions of the habeas hearings.
Under Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, a reporter is required to transcribe a hearing within fifteen days of its conclusion and then to immediately forward the transcript to the district clerk in the county of conviction. Id. at § 3(d). After receiving the transcript, the district clerk is required to forward it, among other things, to this Court. Id.; see also Tex. R. App. P. 73.4(b)(4).
The district court shall have the district clerk serve the reporter in Applicant's case with a copy of this order and then have the district clerk supplement the habeas record to this Court with a copy of the transcript of the evidentiary hearing. The district court shall comply with this order within thirty days from the date of this order.
