Lf the relator due to the State of Texas Bowie county District Attornev or his
Assistant District Attorney return a void indictment without a criminal
accusation complaint being filed by a critable person does not exist in

If the indictment is to be considered the charging instrument, where is the jurat??

"State of Texas v. Carroll Pierce 109 125(91).1991.Tex.41404; 816 SW2d 824.
See also chapter 16 Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, surely this practice
of indictment without criminal accusation can not be based on past practice
of some assumption of implied power. The State violated the following
authorties Mallory v. u.s. 77 s.ct.1356, 354 u.S.449(u.s. 06/24/1957);
See H.R.Thomas v. State,l 29 Tex.Crim.628 at 632; 91 SW2d 716;1935 Tex.Crim.
App.557. The State District Attorney violates the following Art's 2.03,2.04
2.05 Texas Code of Criminal Procedures. See also Chapter 16 T.C.C.P. See
5 also Art. 16.17c.c.p. See also 20.19,21.20, 21.22, 27.01, 15.04 of[V.A.C.C.P]
With no proper criminal accusation in the court record, There is no accused
and the court is without jurisdiction over relator.See William T.Gholson
the court held:
"Therefore it is the complaint alone and not any other affidavit given in
support of arrest or search warrants, which determines the validity of the information. Holland v. State, 623 SW2d 65l(Tex.Crim.App.l98l).William T. Gholson v. State of Texas(06/23/83).TX.41167; 667 SW2d 16; See also J.W.
Winans v. State, 135 Tex.Crim.l02; 117 SWQd 81:1938 Tex.Crim.App.584; see also Clivares v. State, 765 SW2d 140. The judgement is reversed and the pro-
secution ordered dismissed.
No complaint appearing as a predicate for the indictment in cause 02F0236-
102 it will be necessary for this court to reverses and direct the'dismissal
of the prosecution. Article 415 Vol.l Vernon's Ann.Tex.CCC~P. See Olivares v. State, 127 Tex.Crim.316; 76 SW2d 140; 1934 Tex.Crim.App.Lexis 42. This
practice pfoalto~tng ~•1grand jury to act without a criminal complaint,then allowing prosecutors to innore the clear requirement of Art's 2.03, 2.04,
2.05 Tex.c.c.P. however long it may havebeen practice is simply not in com-
pliance with statutory stipulations.See also 13 AM Jru proof of fact 3d, 21
See Monell v. Dept. of Social Services(l978) 436 u.s. 658 and Soell v.
McDanial(l989 CAt nc) 824 F2d 1380).See also Const.,Tex.Code of Crim.Pro.

202(emphasis added).
~e iftdictment cannot be the sole sourse of jurisdiction as the Grand Jury
is instructed to vote on a criminal accusation. The prosecutor willaa~gue
that the Grand Jury is specifically give the power and the duty to invest-·
igate into matters. See Art.20.09 T.c.c •. P. See also chapter 16 c.c.P. the . ;
District attorney is forbidden to swear out a criminal complaint. See also
Art.21.22 presentment entered record see in Peter B. Peterson v. State,Texas (12/20/84) 1989 Tex.41854:781 SW2d 1933, See Art's 27.0l,and 21.20 v.c.c.P. See also Kennedy v. State, 16l,Tex.Crim.303,276 SW2d 291{1955).
v. JURISDICTION
{1). This Honorable court has jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter under the authority of Article v. section 5 and 6 of the Texas Con-
stitution [V.T.C.A. TEX.Const.] See Section 22.221 of the Texas Government Code uV.T.C.A. Gov•t Code]. And Article 44.25 of the Code of Criminal Pro-
cedure;:·f•V. A. c. c. P. ] . VI. GOOD FAITH BELIEF 0 (1). Leave for therflling of the ~etition for a Writ of Mandamus is not sou- ght to burden this Honorable Court. Or respondent. But to see justice served.
It is the good faith belief of relator that by reviewing or viewing all the
evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict the court of appeal did not preform its ministerial duties required by the relevant law of facts. In consideration had the appeal court used the proper standard· of review
required to determine the factual sufficiency of evidence that was used in
establishing the elements and viewed the relevant evidence in a neutral
light it would have found that the state did not prove that relator was
responsible for perpetruting the Aggravated Assault and the verdict to be
so contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence to be clearly wrong
and manifestly unjust.
Relator futher cliam that the state district attorney failed to file a crim-
inal complaint it does not exist and the relator illegally restraint since
no person has made a criminal accusation against relator which is necessary
to render the state's jurisdiction.
Relator has been made to answer an infamous crime which no one has accused
relator of committing. Therefore the state of Texas is restricting relator
at his liberty without authority or jurisdiction. Where prosecution for theft
7 proceeded in the county court on an information and no complaint was emb- raced in the transcript on appeal, That court was without proper jurisdi- ction in the absence of a complaint. See Compos v. State, 141 SW2d 344,
139 Tex.Crim.411: Ho v. State, 856 SW2d 495 rehearing denied: Naff v. St~te 945 946 SW2d 529 rehearing overruled: State v. Bishppe 921 SW2d 765: Gholson
v. State, 667 SW2d 168 P.D.R. refused: V.A.C.C.P. Art's 15.04, 21.22 Bal-
dauf v. State, 456 SW2d 136,Prosecution cannot proceed upon an information
or indictment along. Hum~hfey v. State, 732 SW2d 22 P.D.R. Dismissed.
VII. RIGHT TO RELIEF SOUGHT
{1). Relator has no adequate remedy at law, but does have a clear undis-.
putable legal right to relief sought under the relevant law of facts and
the act sought to be compelled is ministerial and constitutional and jur-
isdictional.
~e respondant th~ ~~ate of Texas District attorney ret~rn a void and illegal
Grand Jury Indictment without a complaint being filed the State's Dist- rict Attorney abused his power of office to indict relator violates Art's 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 15.04. 21.22, 27.01, 20.19, See in RE Guerra 235 SW3d at
432-439 note 17, See also235 SW2d 432-444~445.See Kennedy v. State, 276
SW2d 291 161 Tex.Crim.303; Peterson v. State, 781 SW2d 993.
The State District Attorney is prohibited by law to be both fhe accuser and
the prosecutor See also Wells v. State, 516 SW2d 663-664{Tex.Crim.App.l974)

The State District Attorney and the trial judge lacked jurisdiction to hear
or try relator upon a illegal indictment in cause #02F0236-102 was returned
by the State without a complaint violated relator due process right's.
VIII. CONCLUSION AND PRAYER {1) wQerefore premises considered, relator respectfully asks this Honorable
b 'court to grant leave for filing of the petition for a writ of mandamus. This providing him with a means to have this wrongful matter complained of rec- tified in the matter prescribed under law.
Grant the relief deemed just and proper.
Relator seeks a new opinion and judgement mandated in cause #06-03-00172-CR
be issued and a dismissal of this action be reversed and dismissed with
prejudice. (2) So move and pray for that in all things this motion be granted.

PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Comes now Charles Clay Wilson,Relator, Pro-se without aid of counsel.And
for good reason files this petition for Writ of Mandamus seeking relief
from the court of appeal for the Sixth Supreme Judicial District of Texas ~pmmitted reversal error by not dismissing the case because the criminal
complaint must be embraced in the transcript on appeal Compos v. State,l41 SW2d 344,139 Tex.Crim.411; Humphreys v. State,99 SW2d 600;peterson v.State,

This honorable court lacked jurisdiction to affirm relator's appeal when
it ap~ear that the State of Texas District Attorney and the trial court
102nd Judicial District Court of Bowie County,Texas lacked jurisdiction to try or hear this case since the State District Attorney illegally indi- cted relator without a criminal complaint being filed by a credible person
does not exist in none of the trial court records. And the Texas ·state
legislature precluded a state Prosecutor from presenting an information ''U0til ".Until affidavit has been made by some credible person charging the defend-
ant with an offense". The affidavit shall be filed with the informat.ion. Article 21.22 Supra. Such an article affidavit is of course a complaint withiri the meaning of article 15.04 V.A.C.C.P.
J In other words, a prosecuting attorney is not authorized to institute pro-
secutions in the county court or dis~rict ccurts upon his independent act

[STATEMENT OF FACTS] The responde·n~s court of appeals summarzed ~he fac~s ,as follows: A jury con- victee Charles Clay Wilson of Aggravated Assaul~ arising from a male among inmates at a prison facility during which charles Clay Wilson allegelly surposely stabbed Charles Warner several times. Wilson's punishment enhance by prior convictions was set by the jury at fifty years confinement. Wilson's court appoin~ed attorney at trial and on appeal on behalf of rela- tor or.ly cc:ntention on appeal is that the ev·i,clence is legally and factually insufficient to support the conviction for aggravated assa~lt bec~use it does not show ~he-conviction for aggravated assault because it does not show that the injuries suffered by War~er constituted serious bodily injury. A person committs aggra~ated assault if the person commits an assault and the person cause serious bodily injury is defined as among other bodily injuryethat creates a substantial risk of death. Tex.Pen.Cod.Ann.§lOQ7 (A} (46)(Vernon's SUPP.2002). The respondent affiated relator· conviction~ for fifty years cited in Wilson v. State, 139 SW3d 104(Tex.App.Texarkana 2004). Rela~or court records clearly show that the relctt'or was nc·t legally charged with the criminal offense of aggravated assault since there's no cr~~~ble person exist and no person ~ppeared before the District Attorney and swore out any affidavit criminal accusation cc·mplaint or a criminal complaint. The State prosecutor is proh- ibited by the legislature precluded-a prosecutor from presenting a i~forma- tion "Until Affidavit has been made by some credible person charing the def- endant with an offense" And also mandated the affidavit shall be filed with . ·.-· ..: the information; Article 21. 22 Supra.· Such an affidavit is course a complaint wi~hin the meaning of Article 15.04 V.A.c.c.P. In other words a Prosecutor Attorney is not authorized to inst- itute prosecution in the county or District Court upon his independent act or of his own volition. Kennedy v. State, 161 Tex.crim. 303 SW2d 291(1955t Opinion onnmotion for rehearing at 664). The Prosecutor indicted relator in c~use NO.:fi:02F0236-102 w~thout a complaint being legally filed there is no Criminal ccmplaipt filed in the court records nor is there any Crimmnal accusation complaint or Criminal complaint embraced in the transcript on Appeal which violate Compos s ·v.

Relator is being illegally restrained at his liberty by the respondent eourt of appeal herein after referred tc as "Respondent" without juri~diction .or charge being properly filed in any court of jurisdiction. REASON RESTRAINTS IS ILLEGAL Relator res~aint is illegal as no person has made a criminal accusaiion against relator which is ne,cessary to render the state jurisdiction. ARGUMENT IN ST.::PPORT OF WRIT OF MANDUMUS Relator has been mctde to answer for an infamous crime which nc, one has accu sed him of committing. Therefore, the st:ate of Texas is n'stricting him at !11;,- hls liberty without authority or jurisdiction . Relator was chargee by indictment in cause N0.#02F0236-102 and a warrant issued from the District clerk however is no complaint in the co~rt•s record to support the warrant and nor the indictment in #02F0236-102. The current cause raises significant q\:.estion about how the grand jury came to indict relator in this cause was initiated by the grand jury, what reasc'n or person had personal knowledge that relator committed some tr~me and by what method does that person avoid the civil duty of filing a proper crim- inal accusation? Relator futher contends that that "If. the grand jury did not come by the knowlegge on it's own but by way of the Prosecuting Attorney then the prosecutor must be viewed as the a~cuser. However,such wo~ld create an untenable conflict. In Peter B Peterson v. State,of Texas(l2/20/89). 1989.Tex.41854; 781 SW2d 1933. THE COURT HELD: "An information is a primary pleding inaa criminal action on the part of . the state" Article 27.01 v.A.C.C.P.;Awritten pleading in behalf of the state drawn filed and presented by a prosecuting attorne¥ charging an accused with an offense that may be prosecuted under the law.

Where is ~he jura~? If the inc.iic~men~ is to be cc·nsi dered the charging ins~rument', whe·re is ~he jurat? The' indictment' is n;erely a presentmer:t by the c;:;rand jury.

If the instrument was prepared and presented to the grand jury by the pro- secutor. Who then is the accuser and by what authori~y did the prosecutor initiate a prosecution by present of an indictment to the grand jury? To ~~8i8 situations were the s~ate stands as both accuser and prosecutor proced- ures were put into place directing the grand jury in how it would proceed. In the current cause, these procedures have been abridged in such a fashion so as to deny the accused in his right, specifically ~o deny relator-applicant in his right to know and face his accuser. THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE l~'BILL OF RIGHT ~ECTION 10-RIGHTS OF ACCUSED IN CRIMINAL PROSECTIONS In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall have a speedy public trial by an impartial jury. He shall have ~he right to demand ~he nature and cause of the accusation against him and to have a copy therepf. He shall not be comp- elled to give evidence against himself,and shall have theright of being heard by himself or counsel or both. Shall be confronted by the witness against him and shall have compulsor v. process for obtaining witnesses in his favor. Except that when the witness reside out of state and the offense charged is a voilation of any of ~he Anti-Trust Laws of this State. The defendan~ and the state have the right to produce and to have the evidence admitted by dep- osition under such rule and law as the legisla~ure may hereaf~er provide; and no person shall be held to answer for a criminal offense,unless on an indmct- ment of a grand jury exce~tt.in cases in which the punishment is by fine or imprisonment. Other wise tha~ in the penitentiarys in cases of imprisonment and in cases arising in the army or navy or in the military when in actual "" !o service in time of war or public danger.(Amended Nov 5,1918).[Emphasis Added]. And to deny Relator-Applicant opportunity to head off this whole process throu- gh the presentation of Exculpatory evidence at the proper examing trial. An examing trial is defined by the Texas code of criminal Procedure by Article 2.11 as follows: TEXAS CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE BY ARTICLE 2.1i [35] [62] [63] Examing Court when the magistrate sit for the purpose of inquiring into a criminal accusa~ion tion ~gainst any person, this is called an Examing court. Relator?APplicant has been indicted yet no one has made a criminal accusation against him: No credible person has presented any criminal accusatiD@n to any magistrate; and no court clerk ever received any criminal accusation against relator-applicant from an examing court. Neither has any clerk kept said complaint and other documents has in said hearing safe and delivered them to the next Grand Jury. In the TDCJ-INSPECTOR GENERAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION it conductedaa inproper_ investigation by Julian Compos In case NO.#Ol-0341 ~DCJ unit of Telford, Julian Compos submitted what is referred to as a"CASE DISPOSITION" to Bobby Lockhart Bowie County District Attorney's Office who attempted to file crim- inal €b~~ges against the relator-applicant Charles Clay Wilson,charge with pc.22.02. This case disposition document failed to show that it was sighed by a tragistrate Jucige to show probable cause to bring relatorf;'applicant to justice ..

Holland v. State, 623 SW2d 651(Tex.crim.App.1981)". Article 20.19 Texas code of Crimina!lprocedure instructs the Grand Jury as Follows: ( T~xas Code of Criminal Procedure Ar~icle 20.19 [391] [442-443] Orand J~ry shall vote. After all the tes~imony which is accessible ~o the grand jury shall have been giving in respec~ to any criminal accusation, the vote shall be taken as to the presentment of an indmctment, and if Dmme memcers con- cur in finding the bill. The foreman shall make rr,emorandum of the same with su~h data as will enable ~he attorney who represents the state to write the indictment.[errphasis added] by what legal mechanism did the grand jury vcte on a non-existent criminal accusa~ion? An examination of ~he code will reveal no other method of bringing an indictmen~. This power of the grand jury to act without a criminal accusation has the effect of circcmventing criminal procedures car~fully crafted by the legis- lature and c6dified in chapter 16 Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. Specifically, by branted this implied power to the grand jury,Relator-App- licant is denied in his right to an exawination into the sufficiency of th~ allegation before he be subject to answer to an infamous allegation.Surely this practice of indictment without criminal accusation cannot be based on past practice or some assumption of implied power. In Thomas v. Stater.· the cocrt held: ''A matter not included within a penal s~atute should not by judicial const- ruction be read in~o it because in so dcing the judiciary would unsurf the functions of ~he legisla~ure. The legislative intent should be ascertained from the words of the act itself".H.R Thomas v. state, 129 TEX.CRIDM. 628, at 632: 91 SW2d 716:1935 Tex.Crim.Ap~-557. If the statute are read and followed, there is no reemo~or assumption or implication. The statute creat a corpus juris which stipui~tes a procedure designed to insure a criminal complammt is always present as the primary pleading in a criminal cause, an information is always property prepared, /2- ~-.. . . - - and both are presenteootohtheoc0urt having jurisdiction and the grand jury.!N Mallory v. T_T: S. the court held~ "'T'he awful instrument of the criminal law can not be entrusted to a single functionary.'T'he €Omp1icated process of criminal justice is therefore divided into different parts.Responsibility for which is separately vested inbthe various participants upon whom the criminal law rel- ies for it vindication."Mallory v. U.S,77 S.Ct-1356, 354 U.S.449(U.S 06/24/ 1957).rt seem in the instant cause the grand jury voted without securing the jurisdictionprovided by a criminal accusation-When the foreman of the grand jury requested an indictment be drawn up,the prosecutor has a clear duty to advise the foreman of the need for a proper criminal accusation.Also he was certainly by the request Lo prepare anindictment and evidence tohim made known that a public official had violated a 1 a-:! ro1::~t-.fnrt _ _ _ _ _ _ .... ::1 office. Artic1e2.03 Texas C.C.P. clearly directs the prosecuting attorney in these matters as follows: TEXAS C.C.P. Ar~. 2.83[27][33][34] neglect of duty (A).It shall be the duty of the attorney representing the state to present by infor- mation to the court having jurisdiction,any officer for neglectior failure can be presented by information, wnenever i.t: shall come to the knowledge of said attorney that there has been a neglect or failure of duty upon the part of said officer and he shall bring to notice of the grand jury any act of viol- ation of law or neglect or failure of d!Jt:y upon t."he part of any officer. When such violation neglect or failure is not presented by information and whenever t"he same may come to his knowledge. I assert t"he forman of the grand jury is giving NO SPECT:z\l. POWER to act outside statutory boundaries. When the forman made it known to the prosecuting attorney that a crimenbad been committed,he did not do so ·in some implied special capacity, but rather as a singular cit- izen. The grand jury could not"find the bill" as there was no criminal accu- sation on which to vote.So when the forman made notification to the prosecu- ting attorney that a crime has been committed,the prosecutors duty was clear. ··:-<· As no court was ever been notified that a crime has been cc~mmi tted. The pro- secutor had a clear duty to ~ake a criminal complaint. from ~he foreman of the grand jury, some grand jury member or any other credible person having knowledge or reason to be1ieve a crime has been committed. He was then commanded by article 2.04 Texae Code of Criminal Procedures as follows: Texas Code Criminal Procedure Article 2.04 [28] [34] [35] shall draw complaint. upon complaint being made before a distric~ or coun~y attorney that an offense has been committed in his district or ccunty, he shall reduce the complaint to writing and caus~ the same to be signed and sworn ~o by~the complaintant,and it shall be duly attested by said attorney. He was then required ~o act in accordance wi~h ar~icle 2.05 Texas Code of Criminal Procedure: Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 2.05 [29] [35] [36] whencomplaint is made~ If the offense be a misdemeanor, the at~orney forthwith prepare an information based upon such coroplaint and file ~he same in the coirt having jurisdiction; provided that in coun~ies having no county attorney. Misdemeanor caees may be tried uponncomplalnt along wDthout an information, provided, however in counties having one or more criminal district courts an information rr must be filed in each misdemeanor case. If the offense be a felony, he shall forthwith file the com~~aint with a magistrate of ~he county. With no proper criminal accusation in the court record there is no accused and the court is without jurisdiction over applicant. In William T. Gholson the court held: Therefore it is the complain~ along, and not any other affi- davits given in support o~ arrest or search warran~s which determines the validity of the information. Holland·v. State, 623 SW2d 651 (Tex.Crim.Ap~-1981) William T.Gholson v. State Texas (6/23/83)1983.Tex.41167; 667SW2d 16. I- See also,J.W Winans v.

The record is before us without a complaint being incorporated therein. We have herefore held that a complaint being or is necessary in order to confer jurisdiction upon the county court. See Art. 415 C.C.P.: McQueen v, State,N0.1952l.Opinion this court handed down [page 74 of this volumeJ and Olivares v. State, 76 SW2d 140. The Judgement is reversed and prosecution ordered dismissed ~***2] J.W Winans v, State, 135 Tex.Crim. 102:and Olivares v. State. Hawklns,Judge--conviction is for operating a commercial motor vehicle which was over the gross weight permitted by law. Punishment was assessed at a fine of twenty-five dollars. The information fo~nd in the record recites that it is based upon the affidavit of a named p~rty,which affidavit is "Here to attached and made a pa~t hereof." There is no complaint attached to the inf- _crm~tion,or if so, it is not shown from the record,and no complaint appears anywhere in the record before this court. In such condition no jurisdiction is shown in the county court. See Art. 415 c.c.P(1925):Wadgymar v. State,21 Tex.Crim. 127,119 SW2d;Day v. State, 105 Tex.erim.117, 286 SW2d 110~7.

State, 127 Tex.Crim. 316; 76 SW2d 140;1934 Tex.Crim.App.Lex.42 This practice of allowing a grand jury to act witho~t a criminal complaint. z_ Then a11owin9 prosecutors to ignore the clear requirement of Art.2.03,2.04, and 2.05 Tex.Cod~Crim.Pro.However lo~g it may have been practice, is simply ~ct not in compliance with statutory stipulations. 13 AM Jru Proof of facts 3d.21 ''Without having been directly authorized,tacitly encouraged, or even inadequ- ately trained, police officers, like other public employees, may fall into patterns of unconstitutional conduct. This can result from a variety of fac- tors not sufficiently traceable in origin tc any faul~ of ''Municipal Policy" in the monell sense (Monell v. Dept of Social Services (1978) 436 u.s 658 and Soell v. McDaniel (1987 CA 4 NC) 824 F.2d 1380). If these unconstitutional practices become suffiiiently wide spread,however, they may assume the quality of "Custom or usage" which has the force of law." (emphasis added). I find nothing in law to supper~ the notion the legislature intend to dispense with the primary pleading in felony cases. I find much about the criminal accusation properly presented by ~orne credible person, as being simple document upon which jurisdiction lies,in J.M Thornberry v. State ccurt held: i "Winkler J. from all we can gather from the transcript of the record the inf- ormation upon which the appellant was tried and convi.cted was filed .without any written affidavit that any offense ag~ins~ the law had been committed by the defendant; and without this the information was worthle~s insufficient to support a conviction." "The bill of rights declares,amcng other things, that NO WAR~ANT TO SEARCH any place or seize any person or things shall issue without describing them 1 as near as may be nor without probable cause. Supported by oath or affirmation." Const. Tex. Cod. Cr.im. Pro. Art. 1. sec9. This declaration being amc•ng high powers excepted out of the general powers of government, is placed beyond the control of courts and legislatures" J.M. Thornberry v. State, 3Tex.Ct.APP.36:1877 Tex.Crim.App.202(emphasis added). The indictment cannot be the sole sc•urce of jurisdiction as the grand jury is instructed to vote on a criminal accusation. The prosecutor will argue that the grand jury is specifically given the power and duty to investigate into matters. Texas Code of Criminal Procedures Art. 20.09 [38] [432] [420] duties of grand jury. The grand jury shall inquire into all offenses liable may have knowledge,or of which they shall informed by the attorney representing the State or other credible person. While the grand jury is giving the authority to act as criminal investigators, nothing extends that permission to acting against a person absent a proper criminal accusation. While a prosecuting attorney is specifically forbidden to swear out a criminal complaint. Nothing so restricts a grand juEy member like any other criminal investigator. If a grand jury me,mber come to know- ledge that some person has committed a criminal act. That member has the same civic duty any other citizen has to report the crimeb~y verified affidavit such such that the accused may be brought before some magistrate and the allegation examined in accordance with the practices, procedures and protect&ons conta4ned ined in Ch~pter 16 Code of Criminal Procedure. This is made even more certain by article 20.22 Tex.Cod.Crim.Pro.: Texas Code of Criminal Procedure art.2Q.22 [394] [446] [434] presentment entered of record. The fact of presentment of indictment by grand jury be entered upon the min- utes of the court. If ~he defendant is in custody or under bond,nothing bri- efly the style of the criminal action and the file number of the indictment and the defendant's name. If the defendant is not in custody or under bond at the time of the presentment of indictment the entry in the minutes of the court relating to said indictment shall be delayed. until such time as the cap- ias is served and the defeoaanttis·placed in custody or under bond(emphasis added). Since the capias is a form of warrant, it cannot issue absent a pro- per criminal accusation in the ocurt record. The legislature never intended any person be indicted until such time has he had opportunity to defend him/ herself at an examining trial. By this restriction indictment by ambush as this one certainly is, would be avoided. Such power to act absent the due course of laws, not specifically given may not be assumed or impl~ed. When ~~~ the grand jury attempted to indict applicant-relator with no criminal accu- sation on which to vote, it was the duty of prosecutor to so advise them that they were without jurisdiction absent a criminal accusation. That Bowie County District Attorney Bobby Lockhart either in person or through one of his functionaries, refused to advise the grand jury of something so basic to jurisdiction as a proper criminal accusation may not be considered mere oversight. Having knowledge such a procedure would have the effect of denying relator applicant in his statutory and constitutional rights, which would most certainly have the effect of irrevocable harming him. It was the duty of the prosecuting attorney upon being made known in any mat- ter that a public official have violated a law relating to his bffice. To prepare a complaint have sworn to by the foreman of the grand jury, a grand jury member, or any credible person having knowledge or reason to believe a crime has been committed by the accused. He then had a duty to reduce the complaint to an information and submit both the clerk of the court having jurisdiction that the accused may have opportunity to be brought before said court in and a proper examining trial held. As the prosecutor went ahead and prepared an indictment without securing a complaint, it must be presumed he acted willfully for the purpose of denying relator-applicant in his rights carefully crafted by the legislature and down in Chapter 16 Tex. Cod.Crim. Pro. The previous paragraph assumes the foreman of the grand jury petitioned the prosecutoi in accordance with article 20.19. This assumption certainly begs a question: Did the foreman of the ~~apd jury pe~i~ion ~he prosecutor after a vote had been taken; or did the prosecutor prepare an indictment and pre- sent it to the grand jury as a primary pleading in the case? '!'his question bears directly on concern of the court expressed in Kennedy v. State. The seminal case which strictly forbade the prosecutor from being both accuser and prosecutor also addressed another concern: "There is still another reason why we should net approve of the prosecutor acting in this dual capacity. To do so would be rendering a great disservice to the prosecuting fraternity. We know experience that a great many people would like to see thier neighbor fall into the clutches of the law but are reluctant to sign a complaint. To holffi~that the prosecutor might be both accuser and prosecutor would s~bject him ~o the accusation of misfeasance if he did not. accede to the wishes of these reluctant accusers. ''Wilma Hazel Kennedy v. State, 161 Tex.Crim.303, 276 SW2d 291;1955 Tex.Crim. App.1397. Bring an indictment absent any civil righ~s protections afforded the accused is an outrageous breach of the public trust. Had the prosecutor acted in accordance with ar~. 2.03, 2.04 and 2.05 Tex.Cod.Crim.Pro. the proseution would have been in no way jeopardized and relator=applicant would ha~ have had opportunity ~o exercise his rights. He would have been able to have an examing trial before the case was presented to the jury. He may have been able to an examing trial to present evidence the grand jury might not have found in its inves~igation. That would demonstrate a to~al lack of probable cause and relator-applicant has been subjected to a void illegal trial, and judgement and sentence to 50 years in disgrace. We can't know this as the presumed practices used had the effect of denying relator-applican~ in this right and opportunity.This particular cause goes to the par~iculars of a special statute. Article 2.03 Texas Code of Criminal Procedure stipulates a practice outside the normal criminal procedure. It specifically directs ~he }!!(, prosecuting attorney in specific circumstances regarding public officials. The duty required here is essentially the same as for crime by citizens, but the legislature saw fit to take care to special errphasis on matters concern- ing public officials. Therefore it should be read to mean precisly what it states that the prosecuting attorney shall prepare an information. Even if the court would read "SHALL" to mean "MAY" it would still be obligatory as "MAY". Jeopardized and relator-applicant would have had opportunity to exer- cise his rights. He would have been able to have an examining trial before the case was presented to the grand jury. He may have been able at an exam- ining trial to present evidence the grand jury might not have found in its investigation that would demonstrate a total lack of probable cause and relator-applicant would not have had to be subjected to a void illegal trial and judgement and sentence for 50 years in disgrace since the s'ta plaint to properly charge relator with a crime under Texas State law. We c:¢nlit know this as the presumed practices used the effect of denying relator- applicant in this right and opportunity. This particular cause goes to the particulars of a special statute. Article 2.03 Texas code of Criminal Procedure stipulate a practice outside the nor- mal criminal procedure. An examination of the court record will reveal no criminal complaint charging relator with a crime so the distrtct attorney or one of his functionaries went ahead and prepared an indictment without securing a complaint, it must be presumed he acted willfully for the purpose of denying relator of his rights carefully crafted by the legislature and laid down in Chapter 16 Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. An examination of the court record will reveal no information prepared by the 7 prosecuting attorney and presented to the court having jurisdiction,neither will you find a criminal accusation that must be in evidence in order to support the information. Prosecutor was directed to prepare and provide the court with jurisdiction neglecting to advise the grand jury aboat Article 20.19 T.c.c.P. and the need for a criminal accusation serves a policial purpose for prosecutor. Had prosecutor advised the grand jury they could not vote on a non-existent accusation and requested one from the foreman a member of the g~apd jury, or a credible person, ha would have had a duty to file same with the court having jurisdiction. The filing of a complaint with some magistrate would start the due course of law with the holding of an examining trial. Either to secure a warrant for re~ator's-applicant's would have had opportunity to appear at an examining trial and make a case for dismissal before indictment. The filing of the complaint with some magistrate would start the due course of law with the ~ol~tr holding of an examining trial either to secure a warrant for relator's-appli- cant's arrest or with the appearance of relator-applicant by summons in either case relator-applicant would have had opportunity to appear at an examining trial and make a case for dismissal before indictment. At this hearing a proper examination could havE: be•en had where in relator' s- applicant's rights could have been protected. In the event of a finding of probable cause the magistrate would have been required by article 16.17 Tex.Cod.Crim.Pro. to perpare an order. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure 16.17 u261] [308] u296i decision of judge. After the examining trial has been the judge shall make an order committing the defendant to the jail of the proper county. Discharging him or admitting him to bail. As the law and facts of the case may require. Failure of the judge to make or enter an order within 48 hours after the ~xamining trial has been completed operates as a finding of no probable cause and the accused shall be discharged. This order would confer jurisdiction to theP.court. After the hearing the magistrate would have been required to seal all documents had in the hearing and forward them to the district clerk. Texas Code of criminal Procedure article 17.30 [296] [347] [335] shall certify proceedings the magistrate, before whom an examinatiqn has taken place u~on a criminal accus accusation shall certify to all the proceedings had before him as well as where he dischargeds, holds bo bail or commits and transmit them,sealed up, to the court before which the defendant may be tried.Writing his name across the seals of the envelope the voluntary statement of the defendant the testi- mony bail bonds and every other proceedingnin the case shall be thus deliv- ered to the clerk of the proper court without delay. Upon receiving these documents a record of the accusation and the order bestowing jurisdiction on the the court would be in the court record. The district clerk would then have been directed to keep those papers safe and diliver them up to the next grand jury. Texas eode of Criminal Procedure 17.31 [297] [348] [336] duty of the clerk who receive such proceedings. If the proceedings be delivered to a district clerk he or she shall keep them safely and deliver the same to the next grand jury. If the proceedings are delivered to a county clerk he or she shall without delay deliver them to the district or county at~orney of his or her county. By these proceedures assuming the magistrate at the examining trial fo~nd probable cause, the grand jury would have been presented a proper criminal accusation on w,hich could vote or accusation on which they could vote to true or no bill relator-applicant. Then ask the prosecutor to prepare a proper indictment. Non of this happened and therefore the indictment handed dc·wn by the grand jury is void and worthless for any purpose. .. h· .PRAYER A order directing respondant to ~ecall its original opinion.
