APPLICANT'S ONE COLORFUL P11IMA-FACIE FACT ESTABLISHING INNOCENCE

The following ill~tration will shOw this honorable court that AppliCant is- actual innocent of the offense because the criminal district cour+ was without jurisdic~ion convict and sentence him. The juvenile court abused it's d~acretion by waiving jurisdi.ct- ion and transferring atplicant to .a criminal district court, when it issued an order./that did not cont'ain specific findinga of t~e c.ourt and certify it's action in a written oraer.see,EX-D[ORDER WAIVING JURISD~C'l'ION;ALSO SUPPLEMENTAL EX-A].

Section 54.02 of the juvenile justice code _provides that the ju- venile court may wa~v~ it's exclusive original jurisdicti9n and transfer a ch11• to the appropriate dj~trict court or criminal district cour~ for criminal proceedings if: [1] the child is alleged to have violated a penal law of the grade of felo(ly; [ 2] the child was: (A) 12 years of age or older at the time he is allege to have committed the offense,if the offense is. a capital felony,an aggravated controlled substance . felony,or a felony of the first degree,and no adjudication hearin #eUS,Cbf age. offald8riata 3 conducted concerning that off~e: or (B) 15 years of age or older at the time the child ia alleged to have COIIUllitted tile offense,if the off~e is a felony of the .second or third qegree or a state jail felony,and no adjudication naer- ing has been conducted cencarning that offaese:~ (3) atfer a full investi- • '1. • ~· •

FAM. daD£ ANN. §54.02(a) • .J:~Lfa~ilitate this determination, the juvenile court must consider, among other ~~~rs/ the following factors: l] whether Ul& alleged offellBe was against person or property, with greater weight in favor of transfer ~iven to offenses againSt tbe pers~; 2] ~ sophistication and aaturity of the child: 3] the record and preioua history of thlil child; 4] the prospect of adequate protection of the public and the likelihood of the \ reha.bllitation of the child by use of pr:ocedures,services,and facilities cur~ently available to the juvenile court. TEX. PAM. coos ANN. §54.02(f) .•

Texas family code ann~§54.02(h) obviQUSly contemplates that both the juveni~ court's reason for waiving it's jurisdiction and the findings of fact that un- de~gttd th~se reasons should appeat in th~ transfer order. In or- der to justify tbe broad discretion invested in the juvenile c~ud, a court should take pains to show it's work,as it were,by spread- ing it's deliberative process on the record,tbereby providing a sure-fo~ted and definite basis from which an appellate court can determine that it's decision w~s in fact appropriately guided by the statutory criteria,principled,and reasonable-in snort,triat it is a decision demonstrably deserving of appellate imprimatur even if the appellate court· might have reached a different result. The legislature purpose of Tex • .Fam. Code Ann. §54.02(h) is not well served by a transfer order so lacking in specifics that the appe- llate court is forced to speculate ~s to the juvenile court's re- . a&ons for fin~in~ tr~nsfer to be appropriate or the facts the ju- venile court found to substantiate those reasons. Conversely,the juvenile court that does the heavy lifting Tex. Fam. Code Ann. S IJv..V §S4.02(h) requires,and ~ it's work should rarely be revitraetd. MOON v. STATE,2014 T~X. CRIM. APP. LEXIS 1918 •

"Tax. Pam. Cod~ Ann.§ 54.02(h). In the instant case, the only reason specifi'cally stated in the juvenile court's. order to justisfy tbe·waiver of jurisdiction~was that the offense cill.~9ed waa a seraoua one, and the only fcact spe- cified in supp~rt of ~his reason was that the off~nse alleged was committed against a person.see, EX-D[ORDER WAIVING JURISDIC'l'ION:ALSO SUP- . PLEMENTAL Ex-AI. The Court held th~t a waiver o~ juvenile jurisdiction "based ~n this particular reason,fortified only by this fact,constitutes an abuse of discretion. 11 see,MOON v. STATE,2014 TEX. CRIM. APP. LEXIS 1918 (WL] at* 14-15~ · The juvenile court ·abused it's discretion by waiving it's jur- isdiction and transf~rring Applicant to the criminal district co- u~t,and. the criminal ~istrict court never acquired juri$diction over Applicantlwhen the transfer order made no findings about the specifics of the alleged offense and found no more than proba~le cause that applicant committed the of~ense alleged.see,GUERRERO v.
