EX PARTE CATRINA RENEE GUY, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. C-4-W012724-1592780-A IN THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT NO. 4
TARRANT COUNTY
Per curiam.
OPINION
Applicant was convicted of murder and sentenced to thirty-nine years’ imprisonment. The
Sixth Court of Appeals affirmed her conviction. Guy v. State, No. 06-24-00189-CR (Tex.
App.—Texarkana July 14, 2025)(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 that appellate counsel failed to timely file a petition for discretionary
review on her behalf based on mis-calendaring the deadline to file. Based on the record, the trial
court has determined that appellate counsel’s performance was deficient and that Applicant was
prejudiced.
