IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. AP-76,836 EX PARTE MANUEL LOUIS ROBINSON, Applicant ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 2009-528-C2 IN THE 54TH DISTRICT COURT FROM MCLENNAN 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 capital murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The Eleventh Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Robinson v. State, No. 11-10-00196-CR (Tex. App. Eastland Dec. 22, 2011) (unpublished). Applicant contends that his appellate counsel rendered ineffective assistance because counsel did not timely file his petition for discretionary review. Appellate counsel filed an affidavit with the trial court. Based on that affidavit and this Court s records, it is apparent that counsel did not timely file a petition for discretionary review, 2 depriving Applicant of his opportunity to pursue discretionary review. We find, therefore, that Applicant is entitled to the opportunity to file an out-of-time petition for discretionary review of the judgment of the Eleventh Court of Appeals in Cause No. 11-1000196-CR that affirmed his conviction in Cause No. 2009-528-C2 from the 54th District Court of McLennan County. Applicant shall file his petition for discretionary review with this Court within 30 days of the date on which this Court s mandate issues. Delivered: August 22, 2012 Do not publish
