OPINION
Applicant was originally placed on deferred adjudication for two separate offenses of
burglary of a habitation. Later, he was adjudicated guilty and sentenced to twenty-five years’ and
fifty years’ imprisonment. The Seventh Court of Appeals affirmed his convictions. Acosta v. State,
Nos. 07-22-00149-CR & 07-22-00150-CR (Tex. App.—Amarillo Aug. 23, 2023) (not designated
for publication). Applicant filed these applications for writs of habeas corpus in the county of
conviction, and the district clerk forwarded them to this Court. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art.
11.07.
Applicant contends that he was deprived of his right to file petitions for discretionary review.
Based on the record, the trial court has determined that Applicant was deprived of his right to file
2
petitions for discretionary review and that Applicant would have timely filed petitions for
discretionary review.
Relief is granted. Applicant may file out-of-time petitions for discretionary review of the
judgments of the Seventh Court of Appeals in cause numbers 07-22-00149-CR & 07-22-00150-CR.
Should Applicant decide to file petitions for discretionary review, he must file them with this Court
