IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-78,838-01 EX PARTE JOSE SANCHEZ, JR., Applicant ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. F-2010-1529-C IN THE 211TH DISTRICT COURT FROM DENTON 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 possession of a controlled substance and sentenced to ten years imprisonment. In his present application, Applicant raises one ground challenging his conviction. This application, however, presents a more serious question. Applicant contends that the trial court initially ordered his sentence to run concurrently with a fifty-year sentence from McLennan County, but then signed a judgment fifty-seven days later and ordered his sentence to run consecutively with the fifty-year sentence. In support of his claim, Applicant submitted a document purporting to be 2 a final judgment. The trial court found that this document is not an authentic or valid judgment. The writ of habeas corpus is not to be lightly or easily abused. Sanders v. U.S., 373 U.S. 1 (1963); Ex parte Carr, 511 S.W.2d 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974). We find that Applicant has abused The Great Writ by submitting false evidence. We dismiss this application and cite him for abuse of the writ. By that abuse, Applicant has waived and abandoned any contention that he might have in regard to the instant conviction, at least insofar as existing claims that he could have or should have brought in the application. Ex parte Jones, 97 S.W.3d 586 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003); Middaugh v. State, 683 S.W.2d 713 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985); Ex parte Emmons, 660 S.W.2d 106 (Tex. Crim. App. 1983). Additionally, based on Applicant s submission of false evidence, we find that Applicant has filed a frivolous lawsuit. Therefore, we instruct the Honorable Abel Acosta, Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals, not to accept or file the instant application for a writ of habeas corpus, or any future application pertaining to this conviction unless Applicant is able to show in such an application that any claims presented have not been raised previously and that they could not have been presented in a previous application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Bilton, 602 S.W.2d 534 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980). Copies of this order shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Correctional Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division. Filed: January 16, 2013 Do not publish
