IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NOS. WR-90,923-01 & 90,923-02 EX PARTE GILBERT ANTONIO GUILLEN-HERNANDEZ, Applicant ON APPLICATIONS FOR WRITS OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NOS. 16-DCR-075926-HC-1 & 17-DCR-076852-HC-1 IN THE 458TH DISTRICT COURT FROM FORT BEND COUNTY Per curiam. OPINION Applicant was convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child and sexual assault of a child and sentenced to terms of life and 20 years’ imprisonment. The First Court of Appeals affirmed his convictions. Guillen-Hernandez v. State, Nos. 01-18-00461-CR and 01-18-00462-CR (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] July 2, 2019). Applicant filed these applications for writs of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded them to this Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC . art. 11.07. Applicant contends that appellate counsel was ineffective because counsel failed to notify him when his appeals were affirmed and did not timely inform him of his right to file pro se PDRs. Based 2 on the record, the trial court has determined that Applicant, through no fault of his own, was denied timely notice of the Court of Appeals’ affirrnance and of the right to file pro se petitions for discretionary review. Relief is granted. Smith v. Robbins, 528 U.S. 259 (2000); Ex parte Miller, 330 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009). Applicant may file out-of-time PDRs of the judgments of the First Court of Appeals in case numbers 01-18-00461-CR and 01-18-00462-CR that affirmed his convictions in cause numbers 16-DCR-075926-CR and 17-DCR-076852 from the 458th District Court of Fort Bend County.
