Applicant was convicted of aggravated assault of a family member and
sentenced to thirty years’ imprisonment. The First Court of Appeals affirmed his
conviction. Henry v. State, No. 01-24-00389-CR (Tex. App.—Houston [1st] June

Applicant contends that appellate counsel failed to timely inform Applicant
that his conviction had been affirmed. Based on the record, the trial court has
determined that appellate counsel’s performance was deficient and that Applicant
would have timely filed a petition for discretionary review but for counsel’s
deficient performance.
Relief is granted. Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997);
Ex parte Crow, 180 S.W.3d 135 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). Applicant may file an out-
of-time petition for discretionary review of the judgment of the First Court of
Appeals in cause number 01-24-00389-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.
Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice–Correctional Institutions Division and the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
