Reynolds, Clayton Cornelius Jr
IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-96,989-01 EX PARTE CLAYTON CORNELIUS REYNOLDS, JR., Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 7883 IN THE 8TH DISTRICT COURT
DELTA COUNTY
Per curiam.
O R D E R
Applicant was convicted of possession of a controlled substance and sentenced to ninety-nine years' imprisonment. The Sixth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Reynolds v. State, 06-23- 00024-CR (Tex. App.—Texarkana Dec. 28, 2023)(not designated for publication). Applicant filed this application for a writ of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this Court. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 11.07.
The district clerk forwarded this application before the deadlines for the district attorney and trial court to respond. The application was forwarded before the trial court had the opportunity to make findings of fact and conclusions of law. We remand this application to the trial court to complete its evidentiary investigation.
1
The trial court may make findings of fact and conclusions of law within ninety days from the date of this order. If the trial court chooses not to do so, it shall enter an order within that same time period, stating that it declines the opportunity to make findings and conclusions. The district clerk shall then immediately forward to this Court the trial court's findings and conclusions, if any, and the record developed on remand, including, among other things, affidavits, motions, objections, proposed findings and conclusions, orders, and transcripts from hearings and depositions. See TEX. R. APP. P. 73.4(b)(4). Any extensions of time must be requested by the trial court and obtained from this Court.
