ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 9412877 IN THE 179TH DISTRICT COURT

FROM HARRIS 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 this application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.

            Applicant contends, among other things, that trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance. We order that this application be filed and set for submission to determine whether counsel rendered ineffective assistance for failing to impeach Sean Aveilhe and Lynn Harris for bias and motive. The parties shall brief this issue.

            It appears that Applicant is represented by counsel. If he is not, the trial court shall determine whether Applicant is indigent. If Applicant is indigent and wishes to be represented by counsel, the trial court shall appoint an attorney to represent him. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art 26.04. The trial court shall send to this Court, within 60 days of the date of this order, a supplemental transcript containing: a confirmation that Applicant is represented by counsel; the order appointing counsel; or a statement that Applicant is not indigent. All briefs shall be filed with this Court within 90 days of the date of this order.
