Petitioner, Motion To Supplement and Amend The Original Applicat1on For Writ of Habeas Corpus, Requesting for Out- -of- -Time-Appeal. '
To The Honorable Court of 319th Judicial District.
Now Comes, James Hinojosa, petitioner and submits this motion to supple+ ment and amend the original application for_writ of habeas corpus,-requesting
for Out-of-Time-Appeal.
I. STATEMENT OF THE CASE
The petitioner entered a plea of not Guilty to the Offense of Aggravated Kidnapping, and the Jury found the Defendant Guilty, and Sentenced to Fifteen years Confinement to Texas Department of Criminal Justice Institutional l Division. `
SUPPLEMENT AND AMEND GROUND ONE: Trial Attorney failed to render effective assistance counsel by failure
to give notice to Pursue an Appeal. c
FACTS sUPPoRTING GROUND ost The petitioner will explained and show why,'petitioner, should be allowed. for Out-of-Time-Appeal. The petitioner is layman of the Law and can't be held to the same standard's as licensed attorney: Even though a defendant who has pleaded not guilty has an absolute right to appeal under Article AA.OZ, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, 'Counsel, whether retained or appointed he has the responsibility to make sure that the defendant is aware
of his appellate rights.
GROUND ONE CONTINUES:
ln our adversary system of Justice, the Lawyers and Judges, by the very
' nature of their duties, find daily partnership in this quest for Justice. lt
1 is their joint professional responsibilities to see that an orderly appellate
process is achieved. No accused should be denied his right of appeal, Justice
requlres that the exerclse of h1s right o§ appeal must be held within frame _S;rm:
work of the Rules of Appellate Procedure. , See: Morris Vs. U. S. 503 F. Zd. 457, 458, 459 ( 5th.C1r.1974 ), stating that a direct appeal from a criminal
conviction is a matter of right.
The court reporter's records should so reflect; If Trial Attorney gave
notice of appeal in open court or not. See: Chapman Vs. U.S. 469 F.Zd.634-(5th '_
Cir.1972). The Court Ordered a hearing to see if the attorney had abandoned the defendant's appeal or neglected to inform the defendant that he had a
right to appeal.
SUPPLEMENT AND AMEND GROUND TWO: _ The Trial Court Failed to protect the defendant right to meaningful and
Full Direct Appellate Review which Denied him Access to Courts,
FACIS ”SUPPORTING G_ROUND Wo:
'"A`criminal'défendant“mmst'not`be`made“to“forfeit"substahtial"légalmrights"`“"
inregard to an appeal. A thorough examination of the court reporter's records should indicate if the Trial Court Admonish the Defendant of his right to appeal. Failure to advise you of your right to,appeal, See: Thomas Vs.Betoz
'423 F.Zd.642 (5th.C1r.1970); Ex Parte Axelz 757 S.W.Zd. 369 (Tex.Crim.App.~"
1988). lf you were indigent and had a court-appointed attorney, the attorney or the Court must advise you of; (1) your right to appeal; (2) the procedure.
and time limits involved; and (3) your right to appointment.of counsel on
appeal if you are indigent. If the court reporter's records show, that he was
'denied, right to appeal, then he is entitled to appropriate relief in this
Habeas Corpus Proceeding.
