JURISDICTION
The Court of Criminal Appeals has Original Jurisdiction under Article V, Section Five of the
Texas Constitmtion, Article 1, 6 and 14 of the United States Constitution, Texas Common Law
and United States Common Law. State v. Johnson, 821 S W 2d 609. 612 Tx. Crim. App. 1991
held a court off criminal a_p_peals m3:y take action on~y if that action is authorized by
constitutional provision, statute, or Common law, or the power rises from an inherent or implied
power. Mooney v. Holohan, 294 U.S. 103-113 held "To deprive a citizen of his only effective
reme4y wouldl. not onl_y be contrary to the rudimentary demands of justice but destructive of a
constitutional guaranty specifically designed to prevent injustice. Fay v. Noia 372 U.S. 391 Sup. Ct.
1963. The Wnrit lies as a traditional civil remedy for the enforcement of the right to personal
liberty, not as; a stage of the state criminal proceedings or as an appeal therefrom.
Exparte Gimmbonini 117 CAL 573, 49 P 732; VOID judgment is Never final and a judgment
acq_uired through violation of "due process of law" and Fraud is void and never becomes final.
process of lawr" and Fraud is void and never becomes fmal. Exparte Giambonini 117 CAL 573, 49
P 732 I Dubaiii Petroleum Co. v. Kazi 12 S W 3d 71 76 (Tex. 2000,) A judgment will never be
considered fintal if the court lacked subiect matter .iurisdiction. It is well settled law that a legal action
by a court without jurisdiction is a nullity.
THIS ~HABEAS CORPUS IS A COLLATERAL ATTACK ON A VOID JUDGMENT
A collateral attack is any proceeding to avoid the effect of a judgment which does not meet all the
requirements of a valid direct attack. See Glunz, 908 S W 2d at 255, There is neither a set procedure
for a collatera] attack nor a statute of limitations. See Glunz, 908 S W 2d at 255: Davis v. Boone, 786
S. W.2d 85,87 (Tex.App- San Antonio 1990, no writ).
2.
PROCEDURAL HISTORY
Applicant was charged in a two count indictment with Murder Texas Penal Code 19.02 (Count 1)
Aggravated Assault Texas Penal Code 22.02/ Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity (~ount 11)
. On February 12, a jury found Applicant guilty of Murder. On February13, 2009, the jury assessed the
maximum. pu:nishment, ninety nine (99) years or life confmement in the Texas Department of Justice-
Institutional Division and a $10,000.00 fine. Applicant filed his notice of appeal on February 25,
2009. Applicamt then appealed his conviction through court appointed attorney. That Court affirmed
the Trial Court's judgment on October 7, 2010: Applicant Pro Se Petitioned for Discretionary Review
was refused om May 25, 2011. The final mandate issued on June 21, 2011.
Applicant then filed Habeas Corpus 11.07 through a paid Habeas Attorney Carrie Crisp. Ms. Crisp
proved to be imexperienced and refused to present Applicant's number one Ground for Relief Void
Judgment for Jack of Jurisdiction. (See note below) When Applicant's Mother found out that she did
not include the Ground he had his Mother with his Power of Attorney to amend the Habeas and add
the Ground fo·r Void Judgment as his number one ( 1) ground. There were no hearings or factual
findings by th·e trial court. and none by this Court.
Applicant's W1rit was denied without Written Order on 3/6/13. Because Applicant is not skilled in the
law he did no1t know to Appeal the 3/6/13 decision and thought that his opportunity to file a Federal
Habeas Corputs was nearing the deadline. He then filed a Pro Se Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U S C
2254 that court conducted no evidentiary hearing and denied the Writ with prejudice and no COA.
Applicant tho,ught that he could not Appeal because of the Order on the COA. He then with the
assistance of his Mother as his Power of Attorney began to study to find a way to get back into Court
Sote: Judge J. Price delivered the opinion in Ex Parte Casey Tyrone Sledge No. A-P-76497 and opined that if applicant had raised his present
claim in his orginal 'Writ, "We would not hesitate to reach the merits and if appropriate grant relief.
3.
Applicant disc:overed that because his Judgment was void that he thought he could ask the Trial
Court for relie:f because he had read 2 cases that helped him understand the basis for asking for relief:
Ex parte :Casey Tyrone Sledge No. A- P- 76947 and Patton v. Diemer 35 Ohio St. 3d 68,518 N E 2d
941 : showing It is not incumbent upon appelle to establish a basis for relief nor is it incumbent for the
court to decide its authority therefrom, Rather thejud,gment sou_ght to be vacated constituted a nullity
therefore withtin the inherent power of the trial court to vacate the Judgment, and then filed a Motion to
Vacate Judgment in the Trial Court on 12/5/14. After requesting on at least 3 occasions a decision
the court had still not ruled or corresponded with A_p_plicant and then he withdrew his Motion on
;/18/15. There are no other motions pending in this matter at this time. Applicant is presently in
custody of Texas Department of Criminal Justice System Stiles Unit Beaumont Texas.
THE COURT'S POWER TO SET THE VOID JUDGMENT ASIJ)E
Where a void jiudgment has been rendered and the record in the cause, or judgment roll reflects the
vice, then the 1court has not only the power but the duty and even after the expiration of the term to
;;et aside such judgment. Harrison v. Whitely, Tex Crim App 6 S W 2d 89.
MANDATORY RELEIF
Relief under void judgment Statute is Mandatory, Carter v. Fenner 136 F 3d 1000, 1005 (5th Cir)
1998. a void jmdgment decree or order may be vacated at any time on motion of a party or any person
affected thereby. Johnson v, Zerbst 304 U.S,.458 Supreme Court 1938 showing when court
violates Constitutional Rights they lose jurisdiction to _proceed to trial and the conviction is void.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE
A grandjury im Aransas County Texas in the 36th Judicial District of Aransas County indicted
Applicant Chatdrick B. Pate in a 2 count indictment under Penal Codes 19.02, 22.02 and 71.02
along with 4 co defendants on June 24, 2008 See Ex# 2 Indictment. Applicant was the last tc
be arrested,of the other co defendants. A_p_plicant was arrested on M8:Y 5, 2008 when the Aransas
County Sherifilf illegally had his pre trial supervision (on a separate case ) revoked and had the
bondsman withdraw his bond. Applicant had abided by every pre trial supervision requirement.
Thus when the indictment was _presented to him he was already in custody of the Aransas Councy
Jail, where he remained until he was released into the custody ofthe Texas Department of
Criminal Justke in 2009.
Because the State brou_ght the char_ges a_gainst A.P..Plicant alon_g with the other co defendant's his
trial and the o:ffenses were joined. Applicant entered a Plea ofNOT GUILTY and asked for a
jury trial and had his Defense Attorney John Gilmore file a "Motion for Severance of Defendant
and Offenses" on July 31st 2008. See Ex# 1. At some _point 3 of the co defendant's took _plea deals to
testify against Applicant and the only other co defendant (Hall) who plead Not Guilty as well.
Applicant's Attorney John Gilmore came to the jail only twice to visit client although Applicant
asked numerouts times to see him. Both A_p_plicant and Petitioner asked Mr. Gilmore numerous
times about thte Severance, he told both Applicant and Petitioner only a few days before a joint
trial with the other co defendant(Hall) that his Motion for-Severance had been denied. (This was no1
true) however A_P..plicant did not know about this lie until after the trial was over, the A_p_peal had
been denied, amd he was proceeding with a State Habeas Corpus under Article 11.07.
Applicant hired a young inexperienced Habeas Attorney Carrie Crisp, who refused to enter
Ground One :fior Relief at A.P..Plicants reguest "voidjud_gment for lack ofjurisdiction". When
5.
Applicant and Petitioner discovered that Ms. Crisp filed the Habeas without this Ground for
Relief, Petitio~ner immediately supplemented the Habeas Cot:pus and amended Ground One to
Violation of d-ue process" Judgment void for lack of jurisdiction". Applicant nor Petitioner knew
at the tine that there were numerous other violations of due process, and fraud involved with the
Applicant's Conviction.
The Court of Criminal Appeals denied Applicant's Habeas Corpus 11.07 without written order
on 3/06/13. H(~ then filed a Federal Habeas Corpus that was also denied. It was after this denial
that throu_gh st:udy Petitioner discovered the numerous due _process violations that the trial court
had abused antd the fraud on the court by the court..
The trial Court focused it's violation of Applicant's Due Process rights under the U.S
Constitution 14th amendment and it's Fraud l!POn ( "1\P.plicant's Motion for Severance of
Defendant and Offenses" ) Although the "Motion for Severance" never received a formal
hearing where a Judge either Granted or Denied the Motion with on the Record Factual
Findings, Judge Joel Johnson did at a_pre trial for the Co defendant Hall SEVERA_p_plicant's
trial from co dlefendant Hall. See Ex# 8 10/23/08 Court Reporters Record Volume 4 of 11 page 5
line 16-25 and page 6line 1-3. Judge Johnson continued Hall's trial date to 1/5/09 and he reminded
A_p_plicant's Defense Attom~y Gilmore, The State, co defendant Hall, co defendant's attom~y Stan
Turpin. and thlle Clerk of the Court, that he would be back in November to hear Applicant's case.
Applicant did not appear at this proceeding that took place on 10/23/08 and he did not appear at any
_pre trial_proce1edin_gs other than his Motion to Dismiss durin_g the entire tine from 6/24/08 to 2/9/09.
He did not kncnw about any pre trial hearings, as his attorney told him nothing about them.
The Court vioLated it's own Court Order when the Court failed to hold Applicant's Court Ordered Trial
on 11103/08 .
6.
He did not know that Judge Johnson had Severed his trial. It was after the pre trial hearing on 10/23/08
when Officers of the Court accelerated their scheme to keep Applicant joined for trial by illegally
REJOINING 1them for trial through Fake Proceedings and Motions and Orders .. After the Officer's of
the Court viol:ated Applicant's 14th amendment due process rights and through Officer's Fraud on the
Court. 1\P..Plic ant was tried in a ille_gal joint trial with the co defendant_, found _guiltv and
;entenced to 919 years or life and a $10.000.00 fine. The Trial Court Judge certified into the Court
of Appeals Co·rpus Christi, Texas a Fraudulent Judgment Record, that included fraudulent
documents, antd excluded the fraudulent ~proceedinp;s that they used to r~ioin A_pplicant's Trial
with the co defendant. That same Judgment Record followed Applicant to this Court when he
filed his 11.07 Habeas Corpus, and again when he filed his Federal Habeas Corpus.
Throughout tht~ Memorandum that follows you will see through the review of the Trial Court Record
itself just standing alone that Applicant did not know that Judge Johnson had severed his trial from the
co defendant. You will see the use of fraud and the violation of his due process right to a fair and
impartial trial,. opportunity to be heard, and notice and how they were used to deceive him to
convince<him that his Timely filed "Motion for Severance of Defendant and Offenses " filed 7/31/08
See Ex# 1 haLd been Denied. The Trial Court Record reveals the Fraud and the numerous violatiom
of due ~process; used to illegally Convict A_pplicant and to enter a Void Judgment against him. It was
not just one 0 1fficer of the Court that participated in the fraud but all of them.
The Trial Court and it's Officer's ofthe Court committed fraud and violated Applicant's right to Due
Process under the U.S. Constitution Amendments 1, 6, and 14 and Article 1 and 10 ofThe Texas
2onstitution. See: Ballard v. Hunter 204 , U.S. 241, 255 (1907). Palmer v. McMahon, 133 U.S.
660,668 (1890D) and ICC v. Louisville and Nashville R 227 U.S. 88,93-94 (1913). and The
Administrative Procedure Act, 5 USC 556(d). and Exparte Young 418 S. W. 2d 214.223.
The trial court and it's officers committed fraud on the court when they set into motion a scheme
7.
calculated to i1nterfere with the judicial system's ability impartially to adjudicate the matter of
Applicant's properly filed Motion for Severance first and in doing so to influence the trier of fact and
unfairly hamp•ered the presentation of Applicant's Defense Motion and his NOT GUILTY claim.
Fraud on the court occurs where it can be demonstrated, clearly and convincingly that a party has
sentiently set iinto motion a scheme calculated to interfere with the judicial system's abilicy
impartially to adjudicate a matter by improperly influencing the trier of fact or unfairly hampering the
presentation of the opposing party's claim or defense. AOUDE v. Mobil Oil Corp., 892 F.2d.
1115,1118 {1 stt Cir. 198~). It is fraud that denies a losin_g liti_gant the o_p_portunicy to fully liti_gate at
trial his qghts or defenses that could have been asserted. Alexander, 266 S W 2d@ 1001: King
Ranch, Inc. v.• Chapman, 118 S W 3d 742,752 (Tex. 2003). Each of these conditions occurred at the
illegal proceedings in Applicant's Cause No. A-08-5080-4CR.

FACTS IJN THE TRIAL COURT RECORD THAT SUPPORT APPLICANT'S CLAIM'S
FACT 1.
INDICTMENT
Ex#2
On 6/24/08 an Indictment was filed and Applicant was joined to· 4 co-defendants and Offenses, Count
a) Murdeur under Texas Penal Code Section 19.02 First Degree Felony
Count (2) Aggravated Assault under Texas Penal Code 22.02 and Organized Criminal
Activity unde:r Texas Penal Code 71.02 First Degree Felony.
Applicant and. one other co defendant were tried in aioint trial beginning on 2/9/09. The other 3 co
defendant's go•t plea deals and testified against Applicant.
APPLICANT'S CLAIM UNDER 1 and 3
The State and :it's officers committed fraud on the court and violated Applicant's Due Process Rights to
a fair and impartial trial with opportunity to be heard and notice, when they illegally joined Applicant
to Defendants and Offenses.
The State broulght count 2 against Applicant to convince and confuse both the Grand Jury and the Trial
Court Jury tha.t Applicant was a party to both counts charged in the Indictment and that he was a gang
Jfi_
member when in fact they had no evidence of gang related offenses or membership to support the
char,ge. Without evidence the charge could not be brought. However there was ample evidence that all
other co defemdants were members of a gang. The trial court record points to no evidence that
Applicant was a "gang member" with the exception of a so called gang expert that worked for the D.A
Office.
The Rules for Joinder of Defendant's and Offenses are Statutory and it is a violation of due process
when a court does not follow statutory procedures he loses iurisdiction and is barred from proceeding
See Criminal .Justice Standards Part II Standard 13-2.1 and Sec. 310 Joinder ofOffense.:Joinder
is impermissible where the only nexus between (1) Defendants joined for trial is their participation in
similar offense: on different dates with a common third defendant the same transaction or series of
transactions tcest of rule 8(b) is not satisfied.
Applicant time:l_y filed his Motion for Severance of Defendant's and Offenses on 7/31108. See Ex#J
The trial Cou:rt did not hold a hearing and did not provide written factual findings of facts for denying
or granting his Motion for Severance of Defendant's and Offenses. Applicant was denied Access to the
Court and had no qp~portunizy to be heard or notice.

FACT2.
INDICTMENT EX# 2
The indictment charges Murder under Texas Penal Code 19.02 Felony Murder
The Indictment does not charge Murder under Texas Penal Code 19.02 and Texas Penal Code
7.01, 7.02, or 77.03. (which describes "the law of parties").
The Jury found Applicant guilty under Count (1) of the indictment Murder under Texas Penal Code
19.02 which states:
§ 19.02 MlffiU>ER. (a) In this section:
(!)"Adequate eause" means cause that would commonly produce a degree of anger, rage, resentment,
or terror in a_p(;;!rson of ordinary tell!per, sufficient to render the mind inc~pable of cool reflection.
(2)"Sudden pa:ssion" means passion directly caused by and arising out of provocation by the individual
killed or another acting with the person killed which passion arises at the time of the offense and is not
rolft!JJ t.bft. -.:P..~J.lt. Q{ {QJ:mf"J.. ~Q"\{Qr.Jlljnn_.
(b )A person commits an offense if he:
(1) intentionalLy or knowingly causes the death of an individual;
(2/ ~- ru- \.."'4\ThY ~~ mniiiy· irrjaty '4mi "vmm«s- an .n.:t d~".rrly· d-~mr ru- lrmmr« lik
that causes the death of an individual; or
{3) commits or attempts to comrriit a felony, other than mans·laughter, and "in the course ol and "in
furtherance of ·the commission or attempt, or in immediate flight from the commission or attempt, he
commits or att(;;!mpts to commit an act clearly dangerous to human life that causes the death of an
individual.
(c) Except as plrovided by Subsection (d), an offense under this section is a felony of the first degree.
(d)At the punishment stage of a trial, the defendant may raise the issue as to whether he caused the
death under the immediate influence of sudden passion arising from an adequate cause. If the defendant
proves the issu.e in the affirmative by a preponderance of the evidence, the offense is a felony of the
Reennd .tkg..rre..
APPLICANT'S Claim UNDER 1,2 and 3
Applicant Guilty of Count (1) under Penal Code 19.02 MURDER the trial court did not order an
acquittal for the State's failure to prove the elements of Murder under Penal Code 19.02
Officer's of the Court continually introduced fraudulent evidence on the "law of parties" although
The indictmen1t does not allege that Applicant committed the murder under Texas Penal Code 7.01,
7.02, or 7.03 in connection with the charge of murder under Texas Penal Code 19.02. See Ex# 2
12 .
Indictment In ·Cause No. A-08-5080-4CR.
The Trial Court and it's officers prepared a fraudulent Charge of the Court Document
and read aloud "The Charge of the Court" then sent the physical paperwork into the Jury Room with
the Jurors where they used this charge to help ascertain the facts to convict Applicant of Murder. The
Char_ge of the Court looks little like what Texas Penal Code 19.02 reguires to reach a Guilty verdict.
See Ex# 3 •Charge of the Court in Cause No. A-08-5080-4CR.
The trial court and it's officers used this fraudulent " Charge of the Court" as part of a scheme to
confuse the jwrors and to convict A_p_plicant.
The charge of the court presented in open court and in document provides : you are instructed that the
law applicable to this case is as follows:
COUNT ONE
1.
Our law provides that a person commits murder if he intentionally or knowingly causes the death of an

APPLICANT'S CLAIM UNDER# 3
The trial court violated Applicant's Due Process when they issued a capias and confmed him under a
fraudulent indictment.
The Grand Jur;y would have had to find _probable cause to join A_p_plicant in the indictment and because
the requirememts to join the offenses and defendants are statutory they would have had to determine
that Applicant based on Officer Kirk and Brooks testimony that Applicant met the criteria under
Criminal Justi•ce Standards Part ll Standard 13-2.1 and Sec. 310 8{b) and they could not. J\pplicant
does not have access to the courts files arrest records of all the co defendant's and his own and
therefore canntot include in the exhibits, but the trial court has copies.

Ineffec1tive Counsel. Violation of Due Process and Statutory Procedures Fraud on the
Court by the Court
Judge Michael Wellborn presided over this proceeding and those that appeared were Attorney John
Gilmore and State's Attorn~y M. Rodriguez.
Applicant did mot know about this hearing and did not appear. TCCP Title 1 Chapter 1 General
ProvisionsAr·ticle 1.05 Rights of Accused. He shall have the right of being heard by himself or
counsel or both. See: Mentor v. Caswell (1997) 123 Ohio App. 3d. 256 Defendant was absent for
unexplained neasons at time of suppression hearing, which proceeded with participation of counsel and
co -defendant , The defendant had a right to be present and denial of Continuance was abuse of
discretion .. In Ap_plicant's case he had a ri_ght to the Severance and denial of same was an abuse of
discretion.
He had a right to challenge the judges reasons for not ruling on his Motion for Severance then.
He had a right to challenge the State's Motion for Continuance. TCCP Title 1 Chapter 1 General
Provisions Arrticle 1.05 Rights of Accused. He shall have the right of being heard by himself or
counsel or both. At this hearing The State filed a Motion for Continuance and Judge Wellborn Granted
the MotionAtltorn~y John Gilmore A_p_plicant's Defense Attorn~y reguested a Decision on A_p_plicant's
Motion for Sfeverance of Defendant's and Offenses that had been filed timely on 7/31108. See Ex#5

Judge Wellbonn continued the Matter of the Severance stating that the reason was that he was waiting
18
to find out if he was going to need to appoint the Co defendant Christopher Hall a new attorney. See
Ex#S page 31ines 13-18. Judge Wellborn gave no valid reason to continue the matter of the
Severance.
At the hearing although he had continued the Matter of the Severance until the next pre trial date he
signed , dated and granted an Order for Severance. Ex# 6 Order Granting Severance.
Judge Wellbonn made no effort that day or any day to reverse the Order Granting the Severance. When
a judge does ntot follow statutory procedures he violates the defendant's right to due process and loses
jurisdiction to proceed. Fay v. Noia 372 US 391 63 S. Ct. 822. 9 Led 2d.
The District CLerk did not first enter the Order onto Applicant's Criminal Docket Sheet, and did no1
urge another Order reversing the action of the Judge nor did the clerk make any notation on the record
of this order, instead the District Clerk kept the Order in Applicant's file, and later filed the Order into
the Applicant's Judgment Record and certified it as an Overruled Motion on the Severance and then
certified it into The 13th Court of Appeals Corpus Christi, Texas then later told Applicant's Habeas
Investi~ator Stacey Deville See Ex# 7 Deville's Affidavit., that the Granted Order was iust a Qiece
of paper in the Applicant's file.
The District Clerk committed fraud upon the court for purposeful failure to complete the duties of the
office. The District Clerk with other officer's of the court by this failure illegally disposed of Judge
Joel Johnson's Oral Order severing Co defendant's trial from Applicant's trial date, See Ex# 8 Court
Reporter's Rcecord Volume 4 of 11 page Stines 14-25 and page 6lines 1-3.(0ral
Order)
The failure to ·enter the proper proceedings onto the applicant's criminal docket sheet and or the trial
court's record concealed the Order of the Court from the Court and the Applicant. Fraud is defined as
trickery or deceit, intentional misrepresentation concealment or nondisclosure, for the purpose of
inducing another in reliance upon it to part with some calculable thing belonging to him or a false
representationt of a matter of fact by words, conduct or by concealment of what should have been
19
disclosed that deceives or is intended to deceive another so that he shall act upon it to his legal injury
(emphasis ad<lled) In re: E.P. 185 S.W.3d 908 (Tex. App. -Austin 200~).
The Clerk of the Court has custody of and shall carefully maintain and arrange the records relating to or
lawfully deposited in the clerk's office the clerk shall record the acts and proceedings of the court and
enter alljud_gnnents of the court under the direction ofthejud_ge. Govt. Code Sec. 51.303 Duties of
the Clerk.
In a Post Conv-iction Letter dated October the 51h 2012 See Ex# 9 Letter from Judge Wellborn
in Response to Habeas Attorney Carrie Crisps letter Ex# 10 to him askiqg: for an explanation
He explained ·that he had signed the Order Granting the Motion by Mistake, and that he had meant to
sign the Order on The State's Motion for Continuance.
Even after he was notified of this, he made no effort to issue a Nunc Pro Tunc Order reversing his
decision and by this time the Court of Appeals had already denied Applicant's Appeal.
Applicant did not waive his right to appear at pre trial proceedings.
This was an an_nouncement where 1\P..Plicant's Motion for Severance was a Defense Motion, and any
decision on hi.s motion would decide the course of his entire trial and direct his defense strategy. There
was no reason that the motion could not have been decided that day.
The State's. attorney had not made any ol:2iection to the Motion for Severance either that day or any day
prior to 9 25/08. Applicant filed his motion on 7/31/08 and certified a copy to the States attorney. See
ILY..#. t '/AV,i!- 2..
Neither Judge 'Wellborn John Gilmore or the State questioned why defendant was not present at the
hearing . The :Manner in which the proceedings were conducted displays a clear deception and fraud.
These Officer's of the Court committed Fraud upon the Court by the Court. "Fraud Upon the Court"
has been defimed as that fraud committed by an officer of the court in any attempt to deceive, either by
commission, by omission,by speech, by silence, by gesture, by innuendo by look, etc. Whenever this

fraud is committed by any attorney or judge, it is a "Fraud upon the Court" In Eugene Lee

Ineffective Counsel Violation of Statutory Procedures
Judge Joel Johnson presided over this proceeding and those appearing were Applicant (the only pre
trial_proceedimg that he was allowed to appear) Defense Attorney John Gilmore and States Attorney M
Rodgrigez.
This hearing W'as on Applicant's Motion to Dismiss the Indictment for the Jail and Detectives violation
of his 6th AmeJndment due Process Violation of Attorney Client Privilege.
All prisoners vvere transported to another jail in Crystal City due to a Hurricane Warning, and before
the State transported Applicant he prepared all of his Notes that he had made for his Defense Attorney
on his DefenS{::!. He had records on discovery at this _point and was able to rebut co defendant's claims.
Before leaving for transport the jail told Applicant that he could not take his paperwork. He told them
that it was unlawful for them to not allow him to take his paperwork. The told him to put the
_paperwork in la clear _plastic bag and label it with his name and the title of the _pa_pers and then to _place
it on top of his bunk. He did so. When he returned, his bag of paperwork was missing. He demanded it
back and supposedly the jail personnel said they looked but could not find it. Applicant was told by an
22
Honest Jailer that he had seen two of the other jailer take it out to a dumpster and place it there and
afterward he saw two of the Investigators retrieve the bag form the Dumpster.
Judge Johnson. Denied the Motion to Dismiss without written order, he did not record any factual
fmdings on thte record for his Decision to Deny Applicant's Motion. When a judge does not follow
statutory _procedure~, he loses jurisdiction to _proceed. Fay v. Noia 372 U.S. 391 63 S. Ct. 822 9 Led

Stan Turpin co defendant Christoper Hall's Defense Attorney (he was co defendant's second court
a_p_pointed attorney. The first court appointed attorney was Tamara Cochran who was hired at the
2ounty Attormey's office and could no longer represent Hall) asked for a Continuance and Judge
Johnson gran1ted the co defendant's Motion to Continue and Reset his Jury Trial Date to 115/09,

Johnson, Judge I have a co defendant in this matter,and then immediately The States Attorney told
Judge Johnson that they would like to carry Applicants case as well. Judge Johnson told John Gilmore
that he was mearing Applicant's case when he came back in November. See page 5 lines 15-25 and
page 6 lines 1-6. Judge Johnson had already told Gilmore at the pre trial hearing just prior to
this one that hle was coming back in November to hear Applicant's case and he had reaffirmed
the trial date c1f 11/3/08. John Gilmore abandoned Applicant's defense and assisted the State's
Attorney in an_ attempt to keep the trials of Applicant and Co defendant joined.
John Gilmore and the State's attorney knew from the beginning that Applicant had a right to be at these
hearings and tlhat he had not waived his rights to appear, and they continued to appear at proceedings
where his defeunse and _pre trial matters were a part of the _proceedings, these officer's of the court
concealed pro·ceedings from him all together. These officer's of the court committed fraud on the court
and fraud in run effort to keep knowledge of these proceedings from the Applicant. "Fraud Upon the
Court" has bet~n defined as that fraud committed b_y an officer of the court in any attem_pt to deceive,
either by comnnission, by omission,by speech, by silence, by gesture, by innuendo by look, etc.
Whenever this; fraud is committed by any attorney or judge, it is a "Fraud upon the Court"

Clear~y Judge Johnson had severed the cases and the trials of A_p_plicant and the co defendant when he
made it clear tto the State's Attorney that Hall's new Trial Date would be 1/5/09 and that he was coming
back in Novennber to preside over Applicant's Trial that had been set for 11/3/08.
The District CLerk did not enter Jud_ge Johnson Oral Order that severed the cases onto
Applicant's C1riminal Docket Sheet or onto any other trial court record. Only the Court Reporter's
Record Ex# 8 reflects the Severance.
The District CI.erk did not issue a new Cause No. on either A_p_plicant's case or co defendant case
There was no need for a hearing to decide which defendant would go to trial first, as Judge Johnson had
just set the co defendant's trial date to 1/5/09 far ahead of Applicant's 11103/08 trial date.
The District C lerk committed fraud u_pon the court for _purposeful failure to com_plete the duties of the
office. The Di.strict Clerk with other officers of the court by this failure illegally disposed of Judge Joel
Johnson's order severing Co defendant's trial from Applicant's trial date. The failure to enter the proper
_poceedings onto the a_p_plicant's criminal docket sheet and or the trial court's record concealed the
)rder of the Court from the Court and the Applicant. Fraud is defined as trickery or deceit, intentional
misrepresentatiion concealment or nondisclosure, for the purpose of inducing another in reliance upon it
to _part with so• me calculable thing belonging to him or a false representation of a matter of fact by
words, conduct or by concealment of what should have been disclosed that deceives or is intended to

Although Judg~e Joel Johnson did not hold a statutorily required hearing and enter factual findings on
the record, andla Written Order Granting or Denying Applicant's Motion for Severance, he did sever
the trial of At>J?licant and the co defendant. When a judge does not follow statutory req_uirements he

that ~P..peared to allow the court to ~proceed was in violation of the 1st amendment to the Constitution.

Violation of Due Process and Statutory Procedure and Rules.
The court didl not provide a court ordered jury trial for the applicant on 11103/08 and stated no reason
for failing to do so and gave applicant NO notice. Applicant's Attorney provided no reason or notice,
and there is no Recorded Record of any Proceeding that effected a change in Applicant Court Ordered
Trial Date.
A court's j-urisdiction at the beginning of trial may be lost in the court of the proceedings due to
complete tlhe court as the 141h amendment requires. If the U.S. Constitution amendments are not
;::omplied with the court loses jurisdiction to proceed. Johnson Zerbst 304 U.S. 458 Sup. Ct. 1938.
There are no legitimate court proceedings that overrules or voids Applicant's Court Date.
The court had 1no jurisdiction to proceed to a joint trial or a separate trial of Applicant or to hold any
other proceediings other than Acquittal. The trial court was without jurisdiction to proceed that parties

APPLICANT'S CLAIM UNDER 2,3, AND 4
Ineffective~ Counsel, Fraud on the Court by the Court, Violation of Due Process a Statutory
Procedures and Rules
Judge Michael. Wellborn presided over this pre trial hearing with co defendant Hall appearing with his
Defense Attorr1ey Stan TUil.?in and State's Attorney M. Rodrigues.
Applicant Chadrick Pate did not appear nor did his Defense Attorney John Gilmore. Applicant was not
before the coutrt for adjudication the court had already lost jurisdiction. Mapco Inc. v. Forrest, 795 S.
W. 2d 700, 7CG3 (fx. 1990) •
At this proceedling Judge Wellborn, Stan Turpin and M. Rodrigues discussed Applicant's pre trial
motions and tlrial date when he was not present or represented. The Court had already lost jurisdiction
over Applicanlt and the Subject Matter, and committed fraud on the court by the court in having these
discussions th:at would make it appear that Applicant was still in the jurisdiction of the court. A court'~

jurisdiction at the beginning of trial may be lost in the court of the proceedings due to complete the
court as the 14J.th amendment requires. If the U.S. Constitution amendments are not complied with the
court loses juritsdiction to proceed. Johnson v. Zerbst 304 U.S. 458 Sup. Ct. 1938.
There arre no legitimate court proceedings that overrules or voids Applicant's Court Date.
The court had 1no jurisdiction to _proceed to a joint trial or a se_parate trial of A_p_plicant or to hold ~Y
other proceediings other than Acquittal. The trial court was without jurisdiction to proceed that parties
may have agreed to it are immaterial. The verbal, written or illegally disposed of order, that appeared
to allow the co·urt to _proceed was in violation of the 151 amendment to the Constitution. Near v.

See page 3lin·es 7-25 This is a discussion between Judge Wellborn, Stan Turpin, and M. Rodrigues
where Judge vlVell born is first advised by Stan Turpin that he has talked with the State and Mr.
Gilmore who !has the co defendant Pate and he has Mr. Hall. He then advises Judge Wellborn that his
client has a mcotion for severance that was submitted by Hall's former attorney Cochran-May and they
were not going to go forward on that motion and that he had talked to his client who was in agreement
. He then adviised Judge Wellborn that he has cheeked with Mr. Gilmore and it's his understanding that
Mr. Gilmore is in agreement with that too unless his client tells him something different, and that was
his understandling.
Then Judge Well born asks who is the defendant then there is a discussion about the
name betweem Judge Wellborn, Stan Turpin and States attorney Rodrigues when they fmally get the
name right. SEE Reporters Record Vol5 of 11 page 41ines 1-13.
Jud_ge Wellborn ask when Pates trial date is scheduled Stan TuiJJen answers Right now on January
30
the 5th. Judge 'Wellborn responds Okay well both cases on the same trial docket at this time? M.
Rod.r\g:uez re~J,Oonds. Yes,. your Honor. Judge Wellborn responds Okay well its kind ofhard to try them
on the same ti:me if it's not on the same docket.
Mr. Turpen responds I understand Judge. Judge Wellborn responds Minor technicality.
Then a De_put)l' Clerk res_ponds And also Mr. Gilmore is not su_p_posed to be here on the 5th. He will be
on vacation ti[l the 9th See page 6 lines 2-7. Stan Turpin: Judge, what I would like to do on that is
leave it in the file just in case we need it because I did talk to Mr. Gilmore. Gilmore says he didn't see
any reason to $ever unless his client told him otherwise , but I haven't talked back with him to know
that, and I don't think he has a motion on file.
At the time of 1this discussion applicant's trial date had already been severed from that of the co
defendant Christopher
- Hall and the Trail Court refused to proceed to trial. Applicant
.._ -- was not before the
court for adjudication the court had already lost jurisdiction. Mapco Inc. v. Forrest, 795 S. W. 2d
7.Q.f4 7.fl1 (t'L t'l'lfl\-.
The trial court and it's officers had already begun entering and concealing fraudulent proceedings,
motions. Orde:rs, and trial dates onto Applicant's Criminal Docket Sheet.
This discussiom among officers of the court without appearance of Applicant and his Attorney is fraud
and a violatiori of Applicant's due process right to be present, opportunity to be heard and notice. This
is a manipulation of the judiciary and concealment of proceedings from Applicant.

2/9/09 The Illegal Trial of Applicant
FRAUDULE1NT PROCEEDINGS OF JOINT JURY TRIAL OF APPLICANT CHADR1CK B. PATE
~N.O CO UE.FE.NOAN1: CHlU~.TOPB.ER HALL
In Spite of ;a Court Order by Judge Joel Johnson given by Oral Order on 11/25/08 that Severed the
Trials of App1licant and Co defendant Hall, Judge Whately and Officer's of the Court simply set about
acting alone :and together to manipulate the judiciary process to make it appear that the court still had
jurisdiction o·ver the Applicant and the subject matter and then tried him in an illegal proceeding that
they submitted as a fair and impartial Jury trial.
These Office:r's of the Court participated in hearings that involved Applicant's Motion for Severance,
they all knevv or should have known that Applicant had not appeared at these hearings and could no1
object to theiJr fraud. The officer's knew that Judge Johnson had severed the trials of the Applicant and
the co defendant, they knew that there had not been a formal hearing on the Motion for Severance
where a Judge: entered factual findings on the record for his reasons denying or granting the Motion.
They knew thaLt he did not ask for a Continuance on 10/30/08, and they knew that fraudulent Motions
Orders and Reset Dates had been entered onto his Criminal Docket Sheet. They knew that legitimate
Orders had not: been entered onto his Criminal Docket Sheet.
They conce:aled the illegal entries, Motion, Orders and Reset Dates when a Court Reporter did not
Record the Pv10ceedings, if in fact they held any proceedings.
Officer's of the Court lied when they entered onto Applicant's Criminal Docket on 10/30/08 Motion for
Continuance, then they lied again when they entered All Ready on 2/5/09.

including it hn the Record that they sent to the Court of Appeals is more than suspicious. It was at this
37
hearing that Jrudge Whatley and Officer's schemed to make it appear that Applicant had appeared and
announced reatdy for trial, and then entered it onto his criminal docket sheet.
If the Court of Appeals had that document they would have seen that Applicant was not there.
John Gilmore :had abandoned Applicant's defense long before this hearing and just kept participating in
the fraud.
The trial coULrt and it's officer's through the various frauds just mentioned above and throughout this
Habeas Mo1tion willfully abused the judicial process, their lies, deception dishonesty, their silence,
commission, Clmissions , speech, etc. made it impossible for Applicant to present his defense.
The scheme that they put in place to keep Applicant and co defendant joined for trial at any cost, could
I
not help to ha've influenced the jury (tier of fact). Applicant was convicted and his liberty stripped from
him by a Judiaical System that he trusted to hear his defense and Acquit him. He was not willing to
take a plea dteal for something he did not do. He trusted the judicial system and his Defense Attorney.
He relied on •a "jury" that was deceived by the State to Acq_uit him. A jury that had no idea all that had
gone on befone he appeared in front of them and plead "Not Guilty".
The fraud and violation of Applicant's due process did not stop here, the fraud continued even after
Applicant's Conviction . However at the illegal trial various more frauds and violations of Applicant's
due process were abused.
The following is a list of event's of the proceedings in this fraudulent proceeding.
Before the tria] started on 2/9/09 at the Voire Dire proceeding See Ex# 17 Court Reporter Record
Volume 4 of 9, page 102 lines 5-25 .
Applicant's 1V1other was entering the Court room and was stopped at the door and told
that she could not come in for the trial. She went to the District Clerk's Office and asked to see a Judge
The clerk asked her why and she told her that she was not being allowed to go inside the court room.
Clerk went to announce her to the Judge, when she came back she told her that the Judge told her to go
38
back down there and she would be allowed to go in. She went inside and was told to stand on the back
wall because there was no seating for her.
At the Voire Dire a potential Juror Ms. Voss kept asking John Gilmore (Applicant's Attorney)
about why both Applicant and Co defendant were at the same trial. Gilmore finally gave her an
answer. See Ex# 17 Court Reporters Record Volume 4 of 9 Chadrick B. Pate page 102 lines 5-25.
He said we are being forced to do it this way okay. We don't want to.Ms.Voss was not picked for the
jury trial.
After the Voire: Dire Proceedings the Jury Trial_proceeded, and before it did , A_p_plicants Mother was
;tanding outside the Court Room Doors in the Lobby Area when a woman who did not identify herself
and who was unknown to his Mother stated loudly. I am invoking "The Rule" Applicant's Mother
Asked first Wlho the woman was and she identified herself as Assistant District Attorney and then
Applicant's M:o~her asked what rule she was talking about and the woman's response was you cannot
come into the court room during the trial unless you are called to testify. See Texas Rules of
Evidence Inv1okin_g Rule 614 Under this rule at the reguest of a _party the court shall order witnesses
excluded.so that they cannot hear the testimony of other witnesses and it may make the order of it's
own motion. This rule does not authorize exclusion of (3) a person whose presence is shown by at
party to be ess:ential to the _presentation of the _parcy's cause. The Court violated Applicant's right to be
heard and notiice.
There is no on the record request from any party to exclude Applicant's Mother . Applicant was not
given an o_p_portunity to be heard to challenge the Rule and to _present his case that his Mother should
not be excluded under Rule 614 (3). There is no record that Applicant was given and opportunity to
be heard or notice. Applicant's Mother was not called to testify. It was the State that subpoena her to
testify.
Applicant was brought to the trial in Leg Restraints. There is no Court Order ordering him to wear Leg
39
Restraints and no hearing on the matter. Someone in the audience stated out loud.( that person was a
witness for the State who obviously was sitting in the court room) He is injail I can see
his Leg Restraints. See Ex# 18 Trial Transcript page 259,260 and 261 and Ex# 19 Applicant
Affidavit. The court must make independent determination that restraints are justified and must state
its reason on 1the record. See Deck ck v. Missouri 544 U.S. 622 {2007).
Defense Atton:1ey John Gilmore, Co Defendant's Attorney Stan Turpin, and the State's Attorney
stayed silent as to the justification of Leg Restraints on Applicant violating Applicant's Dut::
Process ri.,ghts and committin.,g fraud on the court.
Defense Atton:1ey motioned for a severance numerous times at trial, to which Judge Whately simply
overruled and held no hearing, and made no on the record factual findings for her reasons to deny the
severance. See Ex# 20 Trial Transcript Reporters Record Volume 6 of9 page 22111-25.
Judge Whately allowed the State to bring in the statement of a co defendant that was not testifying
that Applicant 1could not confront. She simply told the Jurors to disregard the statement.
· At the sentenci_ng and _punishment _proceedings John Gilmore did not call one Witness on A_p_plicant's
behalf, and he: did not tell Applicant's family that they could testify for him until about an hour before
the proceedings. Applicant's Best Friend and Sister had already left the proceedings for the day and
Ap_plicant's M1other could not reach them. A_p_plicant would not allow his Mother to testify because she
was still in sho1ck and devastated from the Jury having found a Guilty Verdict against her oldest child
and only son.

Certification .. By submitting the Order on the Motion for Severance Judge Whately and Pam
Heard committed Fraud on the Court.
The Index (Judgment Record inA·08•5080 ..4CR) that Judge Whately and Pam Heard submitted to the
41
Court of Appeals is not only fraudulent for listing the Order on the Motion for Severance as a
_proceedin_g that was held and filed into Cause No. A-08-5080-4CR Chadrick B. Pate.
It is also fraudlulent because the Index does not list all of the Fraudulent Proceedings that the Court
entered and mcorded as held and filed in Cause No. A -08-5080-4CR on Applicant's Criminal
Docket Sheet See Ex# 4. The ille.p;al Proceedin.,gs that Jud.,ge Whately and Pam Heard did not certifiy
to the Court o:f Appeals, are the Proceedings that were used to make it appear that Applicant had been
legally rejoine~d to the Co defendant for a joint trial after they refused to hold the Court Ordered Trial
for Applicant con 11/3/08. The listed Proceedings had to be Concealed from the Court of A_p_peals
otherwise the Fraud committed against the Applicant and The Court of Appeals, Criminal Court of
Appeals and the Federal Court would have been revealed and Applicant's conviction would have been
Overturned lomg ago.

The Motion foJr Severance is a Defense Motion_pursuant to 34.5 (a) (2) however it was not overruled.
The Order Granting Applicant's Severance dated 9/25/08 EX#6 is the Order that Judge Wellborn said
42
that he signedl by mistake and the same order that The District Clerk had called just a piece of paper in
the Applicant"s file. And the Court Index Judgment does not include all of the Fraudulent Proceedings
entered on Applicant's Criminal Docket sheet.

Judge Whately- and the District Clerk violated Applicant's Due Process right to a fair and impartial

;'Fraud is defined as trickery or deceit, intentional misrepresentation, concealment, or nondisclosure,
for the purpos•e of inducing another in reliance upon it to part with some valuable thing belonging to
him, or a false: representation of a matter of fact ~y words, conduct or by concealment of what should

FACT 18
The District Clerk's Responsibility to report fraudulent documents
See Govt Codle Sec. 51.303.Duties of the Clerk (a)The clerk of a district court has custody of and
shall carefully maintain and arrange the records relating to or lawfully deposited in the clerk's
office. (b) the clerk of a district court shall ((1) record the acts and proceedings of the court (2)
enter all j udgr:nents of the court under the direction of the ,iudge.
also see Govt.. Code Title 2 Subtitle D. Chap. 51 Section 51.901 Subsection J. showing: It is the
duty of the District clerk if the clerk has reasonable basis to believe in good faith that a

Applicant's Claim Under 2 and 3
Fraud on the Trial Court, and Courts of Appeals
The District CJlerk did not provide notice to Applicant of Fraudulent Judgment, Criminal Docket Sheet
Court Order or Index Sheet that their office certified to the l3 1h Court of Appeals. The District Clerk
did not provide notice of the Purported Motions for Continuances, Purported Orders on Continuances,
Purported Court Ordered Reset Dates, Purported Announcements (that do not exists in the Court
Records,) only on the Applicant's Criminal Docket Sheet. The District Clerk and Court should have
had a reasonable basis to believe in good faith thai: the above mentioned documents were fraudulent.
1. Becaus:e the clerk's office is the party that discovered with the court that the Order Granting
Applicant's Motion was a mistake but yet allowed it to be certified to the 13th Court of Appeals Corpus
Christi, Texas 2. Because the clerk's office has custody of and shall carefully maintain and arrange the
records relatimg to or lawfully deposited in he clerk's office.
The Clerk reco1rded as filed the above mentioned documents when the clerk's office knew that
every proceed:ing/document, order, reset day, announcement motion and order entered onto the
A_p_plicant's Criminal Docket Sheet after the 10/23/08 hearing on his Motion to Dismiss were
fraudulent entries. The Clerk's office knew that there were no Recorded Proceedings in the Court
Record showimg evidence of any of the entries that the Clerks' office made onto the Criminal Docket
Sheet after the~ 10/23/08 hearin_g.
44.
The District Cterk and Judge Janna Whatley committed fraud and fraud on the court when they
submitted a Fraudulent Judgment to the 13th Court of Appeals and failed to Report Fraudulent Records
filed and enter,ed into the Trial Court and the 13th Court of Appeals Corpus Christi, Texas.
Letter fr())m Judge Wellborn in Response to Letter from Habeas Attorney Carrie Crisp.
Ex#9
Without quoting Judge Wellborn, he in essence stated that he was the pre trial judge at a hearing for a
Motion for Se:verance by Applicant on 9/25/08 but that the State req_uested a Motion for Continuances
that same day and that both parties agreed to continue said matter. He said that while he meant to sign
an Order Granting the Motion for Continuances, he instead had signed the Order Granting the Motion
for Severance by mistake. He said that there were several orders in the Clerks file and they brought
him the wronE~ Order but that they discovered it quickly and that is why the order was never formally
filed and did not get a file stamp . He went on to explain that normally all Orders received a file stamp
when they we:re filed . He also stated that when someone announced that one or more of the parties
:1£.,,
were waving there rights to a jury trial that the Motion for Severance became Moot.
Judge Wellbo1rn did not explain why the Order Granting the Motion remained in the file or why he
did not reversie the action of signing the Order. He also did not say who made the announcement and at
what proceedi:ng it was announced, or why there was no record. on an announcement or factual
findings on hi:s reasons for determining the Motion was Moot. See EX# 9 Letter from Judge
Michael Wellborn to Carrie Crisp.
Facts in The Trial Court Record regarding the claims in Judge Wellborn's letter do not comport with
the: .cJ.aitr.\,'\
There is no rec:orded proceeding of any Announcement announcing that one or more of the defendant's
There is no rec:orded proceeding where Judge Michael Wellborn rendered the Motion Moot and
45.
provided a decision with factual findings on the Record
There is no Record of notice of any such hearing and there is no notice to Applicant of a decision
finding the Mcotion Moot.
There are laws and procedures that must be followed at pre trial and trial.
Announcemen1ts are Sl!P.POSe to be made on the record and Notice _given.
Defense Motioms must be ruled on prior to trial and a hearing had to determine the facts presented in
the Motion, a :Decision must be made on the Motion with factually findings that support either the
Granting or Dtenial of same and notice _provided.
When a Motiom is presented to the judge the maker of the Motion must also prepare a Order for the
Judge to sign and provide said order to the judge and they go over the Motion and Order together.
It is not the clerk that _prepares or _presents the Order, it is the Maker ofthe Order.
John Gilmore 1told the Applicant and his Mother who both inquired numerous times that the Motion for
Severance was denied, He told Applicant's Mother this only a few days before trial when she insisted
that he find outt what was _goin_g on with the severance.
CONCLUSION
Because the trial court proceeded to a joint jury trial with the co defendant when Applicant
Chadrick B. P'ate and the natter were not properly before the court for adjudication, the trial
court had no j1urisdiction to enter a Void Judgment, Sentence and Conviction against him and
illegally impri son him in the Texas Department Criminal Justice System.
All of the Fact:s Presented Both On The Record of the trial court and Outside the Courts Record and
SuQported by the Courts records or sworn affidavit verify the Conclusion that At>t?licant's Judgment is
Void.
46.
That Conviction was acquired through the Violation of Applicant's Due Process Rights to a fair and
impartial trial, opportunity to be heard and Notice, and that Officers of the Court committed Fraud
on the Court b:y the Court in order to obtain an illegal Conviction of the Applicant.
They each one and all at one time or another made intentional misrepresentations to the Court, were
deceitful, usedl trickery concealed facts, were _passively silent, _prevented a decision on a defense
motion presentted fraudulent documents, entered fraudulent proceedings and used deception by
commission, by omission, by speech, by silence, and by innuendo to obtain the conviction
The trial court: _proceeded to trial when they had no jurisdiction over A_p_plicant or the matter
and gained an illegal conviction that illegally imprisoned Applicant,
Applicant nor the issue were properly before the court for adjudication. The trial court violated
A_p_plicant's Due Process Rights to a impartial and fair trial, o_p_portunity to be heard, and notice
through their ~violations of Applicant's Due Process, fraud and fraud upon the court that caused the
Court to lose j urisdiction to proceed to trial and to enter a Void Judgment, Conviction and Sentence.

Fraud occurs when a party sets into motion a scheme calculated to interfere with the judicial system's
ability impartially to adiudicate a matter by improperly influencing the trier of fact or unfairly
hampering the: presentation of the opposing party's claim or defense. AOUDE v. Mobil Oil Corp.,

defenses that could have been asserted. Alexander, 266 S W 2d@ 1001: King Ranch, Inc. v.
Chapman, 118 S W 3d 742,752 (Tex. 2003).
[n Fay v. Noia. the court observed: Criminal proceedings so fundamentally defective as to make
imprisonment ]pursuant to them constitutionally intolerable should not be allowed to obscure the basic
continuity in the conception of the Writ as remedy for such imprisonment.

MOTION OF DEFENDANT CHAQRICK PATE
FOR SEVERANCE OF DEFENDANTS
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:
NOW COMES the Defendant, Chadrick Pate, by and through his attorney John
Gilmore, and respectfully moves this Court for an order severing the offenses charged
against this Defendant in the indictment herein from the offenses charged the co-
defendants and for a separate trial thereon, on the grounds that this Defendant is by the
joinder herein and for good cause would respectfully show unto the Court as follows:
I.
Defendant believes that there are previous admissible against the co-defendants
( ;
in this case.
II.
Further, we believe that there will be conflicts in the defenses of this Defendant
and the co..;defendants which will be prejudicial to Defendant if they are tried together.
III.
A joint trial of Defendant and his co-defendants poses a security risk to Defendant
and to trial participants and spectators.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully prays that this Honorable Court sever him
from the co·defendant indicted herein and order a separate trial of the charges against
him from the offenses charged the co-defendants and for such other and further relief as
this Honorable Court may deem just and proper.

intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes serious bodily injury to another.
6.
A "deadly weapon" means a firearm.
Charge Jury p. 4
The term "serious bodily injury" means bodily injury that creates a
I
substantial risk of death or that causes death, serious permanent disfigurement, or
protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ.
7.
A person acts intentionally, or with intent, when it is his conscious objective
or desire to cause the result.
A person acts knowingly or with knowledge, when he is aware that his
conduct is reasonably certain to cause the result
A person acts recklessly, or is reckless, with respect to the result of his
conduct when he is aware of but consciously disregards a substantial and
unjustifiable risk that the result will occur. The risk must be of such a nature and
degree that its disregard constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care
that an ordinary person would exercise under all the circumstances as viewed from
the actor's standpoint.
8.
Our laws provide that a person is criminally responsible as a party to an
offense if the offense is committed by his own conduct, by the conduct of another
Charge Jury p. 5
for which he is criminally responsible, or by both.
A person is criminally responsible for an offense committed by the conduct
of another if, acting with intent to promote or assist the commission of the offense,
he solicits, encourages, directs, aids, or attempts to aid the other person to commit
the offense. Mere presence alone will not constitute one a party to a crime.
9.
A person commits an offense of Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity if,
as a criminal prison gang, he commits Aggravated Assault.
10.
"Criminal prison gang" means three or more persons having a common
identifying sign or symbol or an identifiable leadership who continuously or
regularly associate in the commission of criminal activities.
11.
It is no defense to prosecution for the offense of Engaging in .Organized
Criminal Activity that:
(1) one or more members of the combination are not criminally responsible
Charge Jury p. 6
for the object offense;
(2)' one or more members of the combination have been acquitted, have not
been prosecuted or convicted, have been convicted .of a different offense, or are ,
immune from prosecution;
(3) a person has been charged with, acquitted, or convicted of said offense;
or,
(4) once the initial combination of three or more persons is formed, there is a
change in the number or identify of persons in the combination as long as two or
more persons remain in the combination and are involved in a continuing course of
conduct constituting an offense of Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity.
LIMITING INSTRUCTIONS
You are instructed· that if there is any evidence before you in the case
regarding the existence of a criminal prison gang, the defendanf s membership in a
criminal street gang, and/or the criminal street gang's commission of criminal
activities, such evidence, if any, was admitted for the limited purpose of aiding you,
if it does aid you, in determining the issues of the defendant's guilt or innocence of
engaging in organized criminal activity, and for no other. This evidence, if any,,.can
only be considered by you after you have determined the defendant is in fact guilty
of one or more of the offenses charged. You may consider this evidence for that
Charge Jury p. 7
purpose, and no other. To find the defendant guilty of Engaging in Organized
Criminal Activity, each element of the crime must be proven beyond a reasonable
doubt
You are instructed. that if there is any testimony before you in this case
regarding the defendant's 'having committed offenses other than the one for which
he is now on trial, you cannot consider said testimony for any purpose unless you
find and believe beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed such
other offenses, if any were committed, and even then you may only consider the
same in determining the motive or identity of the defendant, and for no other
purpose.
12.
Now, if you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about January 4, 2008, in Aransas County, Texas, the defendant, CHADRICK B.
PATE, acting alone or together with Michael Jason Underwood, Christopher Joseph
Hall, Anthony Lee Ray, and Kevin Ray Tanton, did then and there intentionally,
iD
knowingly, or recklessly, cause serious bodily injury,11Aaron Watson by shooting the
said Aaron Watson with a Handgun, the same being a firearm. You will find the
defendant guilty of Aggravated Assault as alleged in Count Two
Unless you so find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, or if you
have a reasonable doubt thereof, you will acquit the defendant of Aggravated
Charge Jury p. 8
Assault as alleged in Count Two
If you have found the defendant guilty of Aggravated Assault in Count 2,
answer the following special issue - otherwise, do not answer this special issue.
SPECIAL ISSUE
Do you find the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or about
JaV1v.qr~ ~~zooj in ~l~ County, Texas, the defendant, CHADRICK B. PATE,
member of a criminal prison gang? Answer "Yes" or "No."
13.
You are instructed that an accomplice as the tenn is herein after used means
any person connected with the crime charged,_ ~- a._p!lf1y thereto, and includes all
=-=
person who are connected with the crime, as such parties, by unlawful act or
omission on their part transpiring either before or during the time of the
commission of the offense. A person is criminally responsible as a party to an
offense if the offense is committed by his own conduct, by the conduct of another
for which he is criminally responsible or by both. Mere presence alone, however,
will not constitute one a party to an offense.
The witnesses Michael Jason Underwood, Anthony Lee Ray, and Kevin Ray
Tanton are accomplices. If an offense was committed, you cannot convict the
defendant upon accomplice testimony unless you first believe that the testimony is
Charge Jury p. 9
true and shows the defendant is guilty as charged and then you cannot convict the
defendant upon said testimony unless you further believe that there is other
testimony in the case, outside the evidence of the said witnesses Michael Jason
Underwood, Anthony Lee Ray, and Kevin Ray Tanton tending to connect the
defendant with the offense committed, if you find that an offense was committed,
and the corroboration is not sufficient it merely shows the commission of the
offense but it must also tend to connect the defendant with its commission, and
then from all the evidence you must believe beyond a reasonable doubt that the
defendant is guilty of the offense charged against him.
14.
Our law provides that a defendant may testify in his own behalf if he elects
to do so. This, however, is a privilege accorded a defendant, and in the event he
elects not to testify, that fact cannot be taken as a circumstance against him. In this
case, the defendant has elected not to testify,. and you are instructed that you
cannot and must not refer or allude to that fact throughout your deliberations or
take it into consideration for any purpose whatsoever as a circumstance against the
defendant.
A grand jury indictment is the means whereby a defendant is brought to trial
in a felony prosecution. It is not evidence of guilt nor can it be considered by you
in passing upon the question of guilt of the defendant. The burden of proof in all
Charge Jury p. 10
criminal cases rests upon the State throughout the trial and never shifts to the
defendant.
All persons are presumed to be innocent and no person may be convicted of
an offense unless each element of the offense is proved beyond a reasonable
doubt. The fact that he has been arrested, confined, or indicted for, or otherwise
charged with the offense gives rise to no inference of guilt at his trial. The law
does not require a defendant to prove his innocence or produce any evidence at all.
The presumption of innocence alone is sufficient to acquit the defendant unless
the jurors are satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt of the defendant's guilt after
careful and impartial consideration of all the evidence in the case.
The prosecution has the burden of proving the defendant guilty and it must
do so by proving each and every element of the offense charged beyond a
reasonable doubt and, if it fails to do so, you must acquit the defendant.
It is not required that the prosecution prove guilt beyond all possible· doubt;
it is required that the prosecution's proof excludes all "reasonable doubt"
concerning the defendant's guilt.
In the event you have a reasonable doubt as to the defendant's guilt after
considering all the evidence before you, and these instructions, you will acquit
him and say by your verdict ''Not Guilty."
You are the exclusive judges of the facts proved, of the credibility of the
Charge Jury p. 11
witnesses, and the weight to be given their testimony, but you must be governed
by the law you shall receive in these written instructions.
After you retire to the jury room, you should select one of your members as
your Presiding. Juror. It is his or her duty to preside at your deliberations, vote
with you, and, when you have unanimously agreed upon a verdict, to certify to
your verdict by using the appropriate form attached hereto and signing the same as
the Presiding Juror.
During your deliberations in this case, you must not consider, discuss, nor
relate any matters not in evidence before you. You should not consider nor
mention any personal knowledge or information you may have about any fact or
person connected with this case which is not shown by the evidence.
No one has any authority to communicate with you except the officer who
has you in charge. After you have retired, you may.·communicate with this Court
in writing through this officer. Any communication relative to the cause must be
written, prepared and signed by the Presiding Juror and shall be submitted to the
Court through this officer. Do not attempt to talk to the officer who has you in
charge, or the attorneys, or the Court, or anyone else concerning any questions you
may have.
Your sole duty at this time is to determine the guilt or innocence of the
defendant under the indictment in this cause and restrict your deliberations solely
Charge Jury p. 12
to the issue of guilt or innocence of the defendant.
Foilowing the arguments of counsel, you will retire to consider your verdict.
