IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-68,057-03 EX PARTE MICHAEL AUNDREY MITCHELL, AKA MIKE JONES, Applicant ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 54,284-B IN THE 181ST DISTRICT COURT FROM POTTER COUNTY Per curiam. ORDER Pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the clerk of the trial court transmitted to this Court this application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of aggravated robbery and sentenced to eighteen years imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction. Applicant contends that trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance. Applicant has alleged facts that, if true, might entitle him to relief. Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984); Ex parte Lemke, 13 S.W.3d 791,795-96 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. As we held in Ex parte Rodriguez, 334 S.W.2d 294, 294 (Tex. Crim. App. 1960), the trial 2 court is the appropriate forum for findings of fact. The trial court shall make findings of fact as to whether the affidavit counsel filed in response to the claims in the -01 application is credible. The trial court shall also make conclusions of law as to whether counsel s conduct rendered Applicant s guilty plea involuntary. The trial court shall also make any other findings of fact and conclusions of law that it deems relevant and appropriate to the disposition of Applicant s claim for habeas corpus relief. This application will be held in abeyance until the trial court has resolved the fact issues. The issues shall be resolved within 90 days of this order. If any continuances are granted, a copy of the order granting the continuance shall be sent to this Court. A supplemental transcript containing all affidavits and interrogatories or the transcription of the court reporter s notes from any hearing or deposition, along with the trial court s supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall be returned to this Court within 120 days of the date of this order. Any extensions of time shall be obtained from this Court. Filed: November 23, 2011 Do not publish
