EX PARTE PARRISH LEE COBB, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 2017-1022-C1A IN THE 54TH DISTRICT COURT FROM McLENNAN COUNTY

Per curiam.

ORDER

Applicant pled guilty to aggravated robbery under a plea agreement and was sentenced to

of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this Court. See

ineffective assistance of his trial counsel. The record should be developed. The trial court is the

appropriate forum for findings of fact. TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07, § 3(d). The trial court

shall order trial counsel to respond to Applicant’s claims. In developing the record, the trial court

factual issues. The trial court may also make any other findings and conclusions that it deems
