IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-77,672-02 EX PARTE LARRY GLEN BROWN, Applicant ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 06-06486-CRF-361 IN THE 361ST DISTRICT COURT FROM BRAZOS 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 manslaughter and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. The Tenth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Brown v. State, No. 10-07-00279-CR (Tex. App. Waco, January 13, 2010). Applicant contends, inter alia, that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by not presenting available mitigation witnesses at punishment and by not challenging the State s alleged race neutral reasons for striking a potential juror. Applicant has alleged facts that, if true, might entitle him to relief. Strickland v. Washington, 2 466 U.S. 668 (1984); Ex parte Patterson, 993 S.W.2d 114, 115 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999). 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 court is the appropriate forum for findings of fact. The trial court shall obtain a response from trial counsel regarding Applicant s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. The trial court may use any means set out in TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07, ยง 3(d). If the trial court elects to hold a hearing, it shall determine whether Applicant is indigent. If Applicant is indigent and wishes to be represented by counsel, the trial court shall appoint an attorney to represent Applicant at the hearing. TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 26.04. The trial court shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law as to whether the performance of Applicant s trial counsel was deficient and, if so, whether counsel s deficient performance prejudiced Applicant. 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. 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 forwarded to this Court within 120 days of the date of this order. Any extensions of time shall be obtained from this Court. Filed: August 22, 2012 Do not publish
