Cause _No. 710860-A

EX PARTE § lN THE ZZSTH DISTRICT COURT § OF JOEL W'ITWER, ' Applicant § HARRIS COUNTY, T E X A S

STATE'S PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, AND ORDER

The Court has considered the application for Writ of habeas corpus, the State’s Original Answer, and official court records in the above-captioned cause.' The Court finds that there are no controverted, previously unresolved facts material to the legality of the applicant's confinement Which require an evidentiary hearing and recommends that the requested habeas relief be denied for the following

reasons: FINDINGS OF FACT

1._ The applicant is confined pursuant to the judgment and sentence of the 228th District Court of Harris County, Texas, in cause number 710860 (the primary case), Where on December 27, 1995, the applicant entered a plea of guilty of the felony offense of sexual assault

2. The trial court initially deferred adjudication of the applicant’s guilt and placed him on community supervision for a term of ten (10) years. Subsequent thereto, the court adjudicated the applicant’s guilt and assessed punishment at ten (10) years confinement in the TeXas Department.of CriminalJustice `- lnstitutional Division (TDCJ-ID). §§ § EJ § §§

Di.'.;tri<:t E:e.p,;; NUV ZUQ Tinie; . Hm|_/?z::§}§% ill w /);Z:§:Q i?) lOlWl W v

3. The applicant committed the offense of sexual assault in the primary case on or about December l7, 1995.

CoNCLUsIoNs oF LAw '

l. An offender’s eligibility for mandatory supervision is determined by whether the offense of conviction was an eligible offense on the date it was committed Ex parte Mabry, 137 S.W.3d 58, 62 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004).

2. Subject to certain exceptions, a parole panel shall order the release of an inmate who is not on parole to mandatory supervision when the actual calendar time the inmate has served, plus any accrued good conduct time, equals the term to which the inmate was sentenced TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 42.18, §8(c) (1995).

3. As of September l, 1995, the offense of sexual assault was an offense not eligible for mandatory supervision release. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC.` art. 42.18, §8(0)(4) (1995).

4. Therefore, the applicant is not eligible for mandatory supervision release in the primary case because the applicant committed the offense of sexual assault on or about December 17, 1995, when sexual assault was an offense ineligible for release to mandatory supervision.

Accordingly, it is recommended to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals that the j

requested habeas relief be denied

THE CLERK IS ORDERED to prepare a transcript and transmit same to the Court of Criminal Appeals as provided by TEX. CRIM. PROC. CODE ANN. art. ll.07 (West 2013). The transcript shall include certified copies of the following documents:

l. ~ The application for writ of habeas corpus;

2. The State’s answer; 3. The Court's order;

4. The indictment, judgment and sentence, plea papers, and docket sheets in cause number 710860 (unless they have been sent to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals pursuant to a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus order); and .

5. The State’s and the applicant's Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law (if any).
