EX PARTE JAMIN STOCKER

On Appeal from the 248th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 1643380, 1643381, & 1643382

ORDER

This is an appeal from the denial of an application for writ of habeas corpus. Appellant is not represented by counsel. No brief has been filed. It is a well- established principle of federal and state law that no constitutional right to counsel exists on a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Graves, 70 S.W.3d 103, 110 (Tex. Crim. App. 2002). The court issues the following order:

Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 31.1, we ORDER appellant to file a brief in this appeal on or before November 12, 2019. If appellant fails to file his brief as ordered, we will decide this appeal upon the record before the court. See Lott v. State, 874 S.W.2d 687, 688 (Tex. Crim. App. 1994) (affirming conviction on record alone where appellant failed to file a pro se brief after being properly admonished); Coleman v. State, 774 S.W.2d 736, 738–39 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1989, no pet.) (holding that former rule 74(l)(2) (now Rule 38.8(b)) permitted an appeal to be considered without briefs “as justice may require” when a pro se appellant has not complied with the rules of appellate procedure).

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Wise and Hassan.
