l EX PARTE WALTER MERIDETH, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. CR13-0814 IN THE 415TH DISTRICT COURT FROM PARKER COUN_'I`Y

Per curiam. 0 R D E R 'Pursuant to the provisions of -Article ll.07 of the Texas Codeof Criminal Procedure, the - clerk of the trial comm transmitted to this Court this ap;))licationfor a writ of habeas c`orpus. ‘ Ex parte

: Y111111g,4"18 S.W.éd -:2124, 326 (Tex..crir`ri;'Al§p'.111967); 'Appi111111 111111011511111 01b11_b11yand

sentenced to six years’ im;$risonment. He did not apheal his conviction'.. n Applicant contends that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance because he informed Applicant that he would receive jail time credit from the date of the offense to the date of the

judgment (rninus 46 days) as part of the plea agreement, but the judgment does not reflect that jail

time agreement

Applicant has alleged facts .that, iftrue, might entitle him to relief. Strz'ckland v.. Washz`ngton, 466 U.S. 668 (1984); Ex parte Patterson, 993 vS.W.2d 114, 115 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999). ln these circumstances, additional facts are needed. As we held in Ex parte Roa’riguez, 334 S.W.Zd 294, 294 (Tex. Crim. App.' 1960), the trial court is the appropriate forum for findings of fact. The trial court shall order trial counsel to respond fo Applicant’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. The

' trial court ~may ulse any means set out in TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 1 1.07, § 3(dj.

If the trial court elects to hold a hearing, it_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 Applicant at the hearing TEX. CODE CRlM. PROC. art. 26.04.

The trial court shall make findings of fact and conclusions of laws as to` Whether the performance of Applicant’s trial counsel was'deficient and, if so, whether counsel’s deficient performance prejudiced Applicant. The trial court Shall also make any other findings of fact and conclusions of law that it deems relevant and appropriate to the disposition of Applicant’s claim for ‘ habeas corpus relief

This application will be held in abeyance until the trial court has resolved the fact issues. The issues shall be resolved Within 90 days of this order. A supplemental transcript containing all affidavits and interrogatories or the transcription of the court reporter"s notes from any hearing or deposition, along with the trial court’s supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall be forwarded to this Court Within 120 days of the date of this order. Any extensions of time shall be obtained from this Court.
