IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-83,804-01 EX PARTE JOHNNY RAY MULDROW, Applicant ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 25549 IN THE 6TH DISTRICT COURT FROM LAMAR COUNTY Per curiam. OPINION 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 possession of a controlled substance and sentenced to fifty years’ imprisonment. The Sixth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Muldrow v. State, No. 06-14-00103-CR (Tex. App.—Texarkana Dec. 16, 2014). Applicant contends that his appellate counsel rendered ineffective assistance because counsel failed to timely notify Applicant that his conviction had been affirmed. Counsel sent Applicant a 2 letter informing him of the appellate opinion, but the letter was written after the time to file a petition for discretionary review had passed. Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997). We find that Applicant is entitled to the opportunity to file an out-of-time petition for discretionary review of the judgment of the Sixth Court of Appeals in Cause No. 06-14-00103-CR that affirmed his conviction in Cause No. 25549 from the 6th District Court of Lamar County.
