Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-93,839-01

EX PARTE ELROY LRON SLAUGHTER, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 2019-316-C2A IN THE 54TH DISTRICT COURT FROM MCLENNAN COUNTY

Per curiam.

ORDER

Applicant was convicted of two counts of aggravated assault and sentenced to twenty-five

years’ imprisonment. 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 Court denied this writ application based on the trial court’s findings without order

and after remand on October 12, 2022. On January 23, 2023, this Court received a

supplemental record from the district clerk which contained a supplemental application filed

by Applicant in the trial court on October 11, 2022 raising one new ground for review.

Because that application was properly filed in the county before this Court denied his

application, the new ground should be reviewed by this Court. 2

We therefore reconsider the denial of the application on October 12, 2022 and reopen

the application. After reconsideration on its own motion, the Court finds that the application,

including the supplemental ground raised in the October 11, 2022 application, has no merit.

Accordingly, the Court enters this order denying the application based both on the trial

court’s findings of fact and our own review of the record.
