The opinion
IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-90,461-01
EX PARTE RILEY LEANDREW BROWN, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 21,464-B IN THE 104TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM TAYLOR COUNTY
Per curiam.
OPINION
Applicant was convicted of possession of cocaine and sentenced to twelve years’
imprisonment. He 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 he was denied his right to an appeal through no fault of his own.
Based on the record, the trial court agrees that appeal was not perfected in time and has appointed
counsel for Applicant.
Relief is granted. Ex parte Riley, 193 S.W.3d 900 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006). Applicant may
file an out-of-time appeal of his conviction in cause number 21464B from the 104th District Court
of Taylor County. It appears that the trial court has already appointed Applicant appellate cousnel.
2
If this is not the case, within ten days from the date of this Court’s mandate, the trial court shall
determine whether Applicant is indigent. If Applicant is indigent and wants to be represented by
counsel, the trial court shall appoint counsel to represent him on direct appeal. All deadlines shall
be calculated as if Applicant was sentenced on the date of this Court’s mandate. Should Applicant
decide to appeal, he must file a written notice of appeal in the trial 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.
