ON APPLICATIONS FOR WRITS OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NOS. W04-36185-Y(A) AND W04-36182-Y(A) IN THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT #7 FROM DALLAS COUNTY

           Per curiam.

O R D E R

            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 these applications for writs of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of two charges of sexual assault of a child and sentenced to fifteen years’ imprisonment for one charge, and five years’ imprisonment for the other charge.

            On February 4, 2010, the trial court made findings of fact and conclusions of law that were based on the pleadings, the official court records, and all exhibits and affidavits offered by both parties. The trial court recommended that relief be denied.  The trial court’s findings did not fully address all fact issues necessary to the resolution of the claims that were raised by Applicant. The trial court declined to address some of Applicant’s ineffective assistance of trial counsel claims because they were not set out on the habeas form. Because Applicant raised ineffective assistance of trial counsel on the form, and raised sub-claims both on the form and in an attached memorandum, all of his sub-claims were properly raised and should have been addressed.

            Nonetheless, this Court has undertaken an independent review of all the evidence in the record. Therefore, based on the trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law as well as this Court’s independent review of the entire record, we deny relief.
