EX PARTE DAVID LEWIS ROWELL, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 20,648-B IN THE 411TH DISTRICT COURT FROM POLK COUNTY

Per curiam.

ORDER

Pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the

clerk of the trial court transmitted to this Court this application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte

Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of the offense of

sexual assault of a child and sentenced to imprisonment for life.

On May 26, 2015, an order designating issues was signed by the trial court. The habeas

record has been forwarded to this Court prematurely. We remand this application to the 411th

District Court of Polk County to allow the trial judge to complete an evidentiary investigation and

enter findings of fact and conclusions of law.

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.
