IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-90,599-01
EX PARTE DANIEL MORENO, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 1540276-A IN THE 337TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM HARRIS COUNTY
Per curiam.
OPINION
Applicant was convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child and sentenced to twenty-five
years’ imprisonment. The Fourteenth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Moreno v. State,
No. 14-18-00113-CR (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] May 7, 2019) (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 he was deprived of his opportunity to pursue discretionary review
due to a breakdown in the system and, alternatively, due to ineffective assistance of appellate
counsel. Based on the record, the trial court has determined that a breakdown in the system
prevented Applicant from pursuing a petition for a discretionary review.
