Temple, David Mark

Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-78,545-01 EX PARTE DAVID MARK TEMPLE, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

FROM HARRIS COUNTY

Johnson, J., filed a concurring statement.

C O N C U R R I N G S T A T E M E N T

I agree that this Court properly denies leave to file this application, but I note that the appropriate remedy for claims such as those presented here is to file, not an application for a writ of habeas corpus under this Court's original jurisdiction, but an application pursuant to Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, art. 11.07: "After conviction the procedure outlined in [Article 11.07] shall be exclusive and any other proceeding shall be void and of no force and effect in discharging the prisoner." Id. at § 5. Applicant is entitled to seek his desired relief through such an application and may do so if he so chooses.
