IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-87,073-01

EX PARTE JAMES REID, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NUMBER 2012-672-C2 IN THE 54 TH DISTRICT COURT FROM MCLENNAN COUNTY

Per curiam.

ORDER

This is a post-conviction application for a writ of habeas corpus forwarded to this

Court pursuant to T EX. C ODE C RIM. P ROC. art. 11.07, § 3, et seq. Applicant was convicted

of three counts of indecency with a child, and punishment was assessed at sixteen years’

confinement for each count. The Tenth Court of Appeals affirmed his convictions. Reid v.

State, No. 10-14-00107-CR (Tex. App.—Waco Oct. 29, 2015)(not designated for

publication).

The Court received this writ application on July 10, 2017. On July 19, 2017 this Court dismissed it for failing to comply with the rules of appellate procedure. The Court did not

give timely notice to habeas counsel of this dismissal. Counsel has now corrected the error

which caused the application to be dismissed. After reconsideration on its own motion, the

Court finds that the application should be denied on the merits. Accordingly, the Court

withdraws its prior order dismissing this application for failing to comply with the rules of

appellate procedure and enters an order denying this application based both on the trial

court’s findings and its own review of the record.

Applicant’s writ application is denied.
