TROY LEE PERKINS § DALLASCOUNTY,TEXAS
AFFIDAVIT OF BRET MARTIN
STATEOFTEXAS § §
COUNTY OF DALLAS §
Before me, the undersigned authority, on this day personally appeared BRET MARTIN, whom I identified by his Texas driver's license, and after being duly sworn, stated as follows:
''My name is Bret Martin. I am over twenty-one (21) years of age, of sound mind, have never been convicted of crime involving moral turpitude and am competent to make this affidavit because I have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein and they are true and correct.
"I am a lawyer licensed to practice in the State of Texas since November 1995. I have practiced criminal law in Dallas since that time both as an Assistant District Attorney and as a lawyer in private practice. I have been in good standing with the State Bar ofTexas at all times.
"I was appointed to represent a man by the name of Troy Lee Perkins back on March 27, 2007. Mr. Perkins was being charged with four separate aggravated robberies, in Cause numbers F07-00645, F07-7l769 and F07-71770 & 90. The offenses carried a range of punishment between 15 years confmement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and life. due to the Defendant having an enhancement paragraph resulting from a previous trip to the penitentiary. The Defimdant was initially offered 40 years in TDC by the prosecutor handling the case.
"I interviewed Mr. Perkins and discussed with him the merits of each of the cases against him. We also discussed all of his options that he had available to him. Those options were I.) to try to work out a plea bargain in the case; 2.) to plead gllilty and allow the court or ajwy to set his punishment if be did not like the plea bargain offers; 3.) plead not guilty and present his case to the Judge to decide his guilt or innocence; or 4.) plead not guilty and present his case to a jury and allow them to decide his guilt or innocence. I also explained to Mr. Perkins that there was videotape evidence of him committing these offenses and the difficulties that such evidence would present. Mr. Perkins decided to proceed to a jury trial. J2 7
Scanned Aug 06, 201 o
He understood the factual allegations against him as well as all of the consequences of the decisions which he was making.
"On'the morning of January 7, 2008, we gathered in the 282nd District Court in preparation
s
for a jury ~al and the jury arrived and we were soon to begin the voir dire process. At that time, the Assistant District Attorney made an offer to Mr. Perkins to drop his enhancement paragraph and give him 12 years on each of the four cases. That was three years below the statutory minimum that he could receive from the jury and 28 years below the prosecutor's initial recommendatkm.
"During my representation, Mr. Perkins appeared to be of sound mind and good judgment.
Mr. Perkins understood the serious nature of the offenses and the consequences of proceeding to jury trial. He also understood that these cases would require him to serve a minimum of5()% ofhis sentence because of the deadly weapon fuding. He was provided legal representation the entire time he was .incarcerated and had communication with me throughout the entire process. Mr. Perkins and I discussed his mental health history and he acknowledged and agreed that while that was a part of his medical history, that in no way contributed to his committing of the offenses. Furthermore, I am · ~ certain that there was ~o mental health problems involved in his understandi!!8 or his decision making ~,q.,M 'A.J:i regarding both sides reaching this plea bargain agreement. It was simply thebes~ mo~;t responsible a.pe ~et-0 manner in which to resolve these very dangerous crimes. The Defend~t w~ well infc)rmed and 1 l/.11.~ . absolutely understood the options that he had and the consequences of e~cb and every choice that was h l)'J available to hini." ....L. ~.ev'!..r ~ Further, Affiant sayeth naught. .

EX PARTE IN THE 282nd JUDICIAL
~P'1ISTRICT COURT OF
TROY LEE PERKINS § DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS
STATE'S RESPONSE TO APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
The State, having considered the allegations contained in Applicant's Application for
Writ of Habeas Corpus in the above-numbered and entitled cause, makes the following
response:
I.
HISTORY OF THE CASE
Applicant entered a plea of guilty on January 7, 2008 to the charge of aggravated
robbery by using a deadly weapon. He was sentenced in this case, and for three like offenses
in three other cases, to 12 years' confinement in prison. The four sentences run concurrently.
Applicant waived his right of appeal.
This is Applicant's first application for writ of habeas corpus.
II.
ISSUES RAISED IN APPLICATION
Applicant asserts ( 1) he was denied special needs representation and treated without
concern for his mental defect, supposedly in violation of §616.003 of the. Health & Safety
1
.. 0
Code, (2) unspecified court procedures were not followed and his trial counsel was
constitutionally ineffective, (3) he is not receiving proper psychiatric care contrary to the
Eighth Amendment, ( 4) he is incarcerated with numerous violent persons, who constantly
psychologically abuse him, contrary to the Eighth Amendment, and (5) he did not receive a
speedy trial.
III.
STATE'S RESPONSE
Applicant vaguely alleges some grounds that might entitle him to relief, but without
sufficiently describing what occurred in his case that might constitute a constitutional
violation. He further alleges things that would not affect the legality of his confinement. It is
riot possible to respond intelligently to the Application. It fails to "contain sworn allegations·
of fact father than mere conclusions." Cf Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 829
(Tex.Crim.App. 1967); see also Ex parte McCain, 67 S.W.3d 204,209 n. 10 (Tex.Crim.App.
2002) and Ex parte McPherson, 32 S.W.3d 860, 861 (Tex.Crim.App. 2000).
It can be noted generally, however, that the conditions of incarceration do not involve
constitutional issues. "[I]t is abundantly clear that a myriad of problems of prison
administration must remain beyond the scope of proper judicial concern. Only significant ..
deprivations ofliberty raise constitutional issues." Meachum v. Fano, 427 U.S. 215,235 n. 7,
96 S.Ct. 2532, 49 L.Ed.2d 451 ( 1976) (Stevens, Brennan and Marshall, JJ., di~sel!lting). "A
habeas claim is not ordinarily thought to 'accrue' while the inmate is housed in prison
3
because habeas claims challenge the fact or duration of confinement (or restraint) rather than
the conditions of confinement." Ex parte Rieck, 144 S.W.3d 510,519 (Tex.Crim.App. 2004).
IV.
CONCLUSION
The State respectfully requests that this Court recommend denial or dismissal of the
Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus on its face.
Respectfully submitted,

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
On this day came on to be considered Applicant's Application for Writ ofHabeas Corpus and
the State's Response. Having considered these pleadings and the official court records, as well as
all exhibits and affidavits offered by both parties, this Court enters the following findirtgs of fact and
conclusions oflaw.
IDSTORY OF THE CASE
Applicant was convicted of aggravated robbery and was sentenced to 12 years confinement
Tills is his first application for writ ofhabeas.corpus.
ISSUES RAISED IN APPLICATION
Applicant asserts that he was denied special needs representation due to his psychiatric
issues. He asserts that his case should have been heard by a mental illness court as provided by TEx.
HEALTH & SAFETY CODE ANN. § 616.002
Applicant asserts that he was denied due process due to his special needs when court
procedures were not followed and he received ineffective assistance of counsel.
Applicant asserts that his sentence amounts to cruel and unusual punishment because he is

not being afforded proper psychiatric care.
Applicant asserts that he is being threatened in TDCJ due to his psychiatric issues.
Applicant asserts !nat he was denied a speedy ~ial.
RELEVANT EVIDENCE
Bret Martin. Applicant's attorney, has responded to the allegations by affidaviit. The Court
finds him to be trustworthy. ·.
RELEVANT LAW
Burden of Proof
Applicant has the burden to allege and prove by a preponderance of the eviden<~ facts which
entitle him to relief. See Ex parte Maldonado, 688 S.W.2d 114, 116 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985); Ex
parte Adams, 768. S. W.2d 281, 288-289 (Tex. Crim. App. 1989)~ Conclusory allegations are not
enough to warrant habeas relief. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967).
Ineffective Assistance of Counsel _
When an Applicant alleges ineffective assistance of counsel, Applicant must Hrst prove that . . .
counsel's representation fell below an objective standard of reasonableness; and secondly, that there
is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's unprofessional errors, the result of the proceeding
would have differed. Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 688, 104 S. Ct. 2052, 80 L. Ed. 2d 674
(1984); Hernandez v. State, 726 S,W.2d 53,54-55 (Tex. Crim. App. 1986). The right to counsel
does not guarantee errorless counsel whose competence is judge by hindsight; rather, it affords a
defendant an attorney reasonably likely to render reasonably effective assistance. See Thompson v.
023
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law Page2
Scanned Aug 06, 2010
State, 9 S.W.3d 808, 814 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999). Counsel's competence is p~sumed, and
Applicant must rebut this presumption by proving that his attorney's representation was unreasonable
/ under prevailing professional norms and that the challenged action was not sound strategy.
Kimmelman v. Morrison, 477 U.S. 365,384 (1986); Thompson, 9 S.W.3d at 814.
Cognizable Issues
Cognizable claims on habeas are limited to two categories: (1) jurisdictional defects in the
convicting court; and (2) the denial of a fundamental constitutional right. Ex parte Williams, 65
S.W.3d 656,657 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001). The pwpose to be served by a post conviction writ of
habeas corpus is limited, and "lies only to review jurisdictional defects or denials offtmdamental or
constitutional rights." Ex parte Watson, 601 S.W.2d 350 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980). Failure to adhere
to a legislative directive or mode of proceeding designed to safeguard a constitutional right will
likewise be cognizable only when the omission results in the denial of a constitutional protection.
Ex parte Sadberry, 864 S.W.2d 541 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993).
Generally, conditions of coirlinement do not involve constitutional issues. See Meachum v.
Fano, 427 U.S. 215,235 n. 7, 96 S. Ct. 2532,49 L. Ed. 2d 451 (1976).
Speedy Trial
Speedy trial claims are not cognizable in post-conviction habeas proceedings. Ex parte
Owenby, 749 S.W.2d 880, 881 (Tex. Crim .. App. 1988) (violation of Speedy Trial Act is non-
jurisdictional defect which cannot be raised on habeas review).
FINDINGS OF FACT
The Court finds that Applicant has failed to prove that he was entitled to have l:tis case heard 0:..·) '-t(;
Findings ofFact and Conclusions of Law Page3
Scanned Aug 06, 2010
in a "mental illness court". The statute cited by Applicant provides that the county may provide for
such court. It does not, however, state that all cases where a defendant is alleged to he mentally ill
shall be transferred to that court. Applicant has not proven that he had a mental illness which I entitled his case to be transferred for disposition to that Court. Applicant's counsel indicates that
Applicant was able to communicate with him regarding the case and understood the options for
disposing of the case.
The Court finds that Applicant has failed to prove that he received ineffective: assistance of
counsel. Applicant makes no specific allegations of ineffectiveness for counsel to respond to.
However, counsel has provided an affidavit which sets out his representation in this case.
Furthermore, Applicant has not stated which court procedures were not followed.
With regard to issues three, four and five, the Court finds that Applicant has not raised a
constitutional issue that is cognizable on habeaS.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The Court concludes that Applicant has failed to prove that he was entitled· to have his case
heard in a "mental illness court".
The Court concludes that Applicant has failed to prove that he received ineffective assistance
of counsel. Furthermore, Applic~t has not stated; which court procedures were not followed.
With regard to issues three, four and five, the Court concludes that Applicant has not raised
a constitutional issue that is cognizable on habeas.
