IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-90,417-01

EX PARTE SYLVANUS RENE, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 1257226-A IN THE 351ST DISTRICT COURT FROM HARRIS COUNTY

Per curiam.

ORDER

Applicant was convicted of sexual asault of a child and sentenced to sixty-five years’

imprisonment. The Fourteenth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Rene v State, 376 S.W.3d

302 (Tex. App. — Houston [14th Dist.] August 9, 2012) (pet. ref’d.). Applicant filed this application

for a writ of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this

Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07.

The trial court conducted a live habeas hearing in this case, and subsequently entered an order

recommending that Applicant be granted a new punishment hearing. The trial court’s order does not

include specific findings of fact and conclusions of law and the record does not support the trial

court’s recommendation to grant relief. Based on this Court’s independent review of the entire 2

record, relief is denied.
