Appeals affirmed his convictions. Perez v. State, No. 10-18-00157-CR (Tex. App.—Waco del. Feb.
20, 2019). 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, through no fault of his own, he was denied his right to file a petition
for discretionary review (PDR) challenging the appellate court’s opinion. Based on the record, the
trial court has entered findings and recommends that this Court grant Applicant a late PDR.
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
