The opinion
IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-95,897-01
EX PARTE RAY DON WILSON, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. W-1875289-A IN THE 291ST DISTRICT COURT
FROM DALLAS COUNTY
Per curiam.
OPINION
Applicant was convicted of murder and sentenced to seventy years’ imprisonment. The Fifth
Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Wilson v. State, No. 05-19-01131-CR (Tex. App.—Dallas
June 15, 2022) (not designated for publication). Applicant filed this application for a writ of habeas
corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this Court. See TEX. CODE
CRIM. PROC. art. 11.07.
Applicant contends, among other things, that he was not timely informed that his conviction
had been affirmed because he was transferred to a different unit within the Texas Department of
Criminal Justice. Based on the record, Applicant is entitled to relief due to a “breakdown in the
system.” Ex parte Riley, 193 S.W.3d 900 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).
2
Relief is granted. Applicant may file an out-of-time petition for discretionary review of the
judgment of the Fifth Court of Appeals in cause number 05-19-01131-CR. Should Applicant decide
to file a petition for discretionary review, he must file it with this Court within thirty days from the
date of this Court’s mandate.

Institutions Division and the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
