IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NOS. WR-88,541-03 & 88,541-04 EX PARTE EDWIN RIASCOS ROMERO, Applicant ON APPLICATIONS FOR WRITS OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NOS. W219-81406-2015-HC2 & W219-82195-2016-HC2 IN THE 219TH DISTRICT COURT FROM COLLIN 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 aggravated robbery and burglary and sentenced to life imprisonment. Applicant contends that appellate counsel failed to inform him of his right to file pro se petitions for discretionary review (PDRs). Appellate counsel filed an affidavit acknowledging that the deadline had passed by the time he informed Applicant that his convictions had been affirmed and that he could file pro se PDRs. The trial court entered findings of fact and conclusions of law and concluded that Applicant did not receive timely notice of his right to file pro se PDRs. 2 We find that Applicant is entitled to the opportunity to file out-of-time PDRs of the judgments of the Fifth Court of Appeals in case numbers 05-16-01104-CR and 05-16-01105-CR that affirmed his convictions in Cause Nos. 219-81406-2015 and 219-82195-2016 from the 219th District Court of Collin County. Applicant shall file his PDRs with this Court within 30 days of the date on which this Court’s mandates issue. Delivered: Do not publish December 11, 2019
