EX PARTE KEVIN RASHAWN WRIGHT, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 19,123-A IN THE 411TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
FROM POLK COUNTY
Per curiam.
O R D E R
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 writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of murder and sentenced to fifty years' imprisonment. The Ninth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Wright v. State, No. 09-07-369-CR (Tex. App. - Beaumont, August 13, 2008, pet. ref'd.).
Applicant contends that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance for a variety of reasons. This Court remanded to the trial court to obtain affidavits, findings, and supplementation of the habeas record on August 25, 2010. On December 13, 2010, this Court received the affidavits, findings, and trial transcripts as ordered. However, the transcript of Applicant's trial does not include recorded statements made by Applicant and his co-defendant, Jackie DeeShawn Welch, Jr., which were admitted at trial. Because several of Applicant's grounds for review pertain to the admission of the recorded statements at trial, copies of those statements are necessary for this Court to address Applicant's grounds for review.
The trial court shall supplement the habeas record with copies of the statements of Applicant and Jackie DeeShawn Welch, Jr., that were played for the jury at trial. The trial court may send to this Court the original recorded statements, a transcription of the statements, or duplicates of the recordings. This application will be held in abeyance until the trial court has supplemented the record with the statements. The record shall be supplemented within 60 days of this order. If any continuances are granted, a copy of the order granting the continuance shall be sent to this Court. Any extensions of time shall be obtained from this Court.
