IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-90,536-01 EX PARTE DEREK ANDREW BODDEN, Applicant ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. W14-52852-N(A) IN THE 195TH DISTRICT COURT FROM DALLAS COUNTY Per curiam. OPINION Applicant was convicted of fraudulent use or possession of identifying information and sentenced to eighteen years’ imprisonment. He filed this application for a writ of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07. Applicant contends that his guilty plea was not voluntary and that he was denied his right to a direct appeal of the conviction through no fault of his own. The trial court has found that Applicant “timely filed his notice of appeal and due to a filing error by the clerk it was not processed or forwarded to the Court of Appeals.” Applicant is entitled to a late appeal.
