NO. 73,429
EX PARTE ANTHONY CARL TURNER, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS FROM DALLAS COUNTY
The opinion was delivered per curiam.
OPINION
This is a post-conviction application for a writ of habeas corpus forwarded to this
Court pursuant to Article 11.07, V.A.C.C.P. Applicant was convicted of the offense of
burglary of a vehicle, and punishment was assessed at ninety-nine years imprisonment.
This conviction was affirmed. Turner v. State. No. 05-93-01826-CR (Tex. App.—
Dallas, delivered June 5,1996, no pet.).
Applicant contends that he was denied an opportunity to file a petition for discretionary review because his appellate attorney did not timely notify him that his
conviction had been affirmed. The trial court could not determine that Applicant was
aware that his conviction had been affirmed in time to file a petition for discretionary
review and recommended that relief be granted. We agree with the trial court's
recommendation.
Habeas corpus relief is granted, and Applicant is granted leave to file an out-of- time petition for discretionary review from his conviction in cause number F93-60164- HL from the Criminal District Court Number 5 ofDallas County. Applicant is ordered
returned to the point at which he can file ameaningful petition for discretionary review. For purposes ofthe Texas Rules ofAppellate Procedure, all time limits shall be calculated as ifthe Court ofAppeals' decision had been rendered on the day the mandate ofthis Court issues. We hold that should Applicant desire to seek discretionary review, he must take affirmative steps to see that his petition is filed in the Court ofAppeals within thirty days ofthe date the mandate ofthis Court has issued.
