On Applications for writs of Habeas Corpus Cause Nos. W-2200304-A & W-2200305-A in the 194th District Court from Dallas County
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
Applicant entered open guilty pleas to two charges of manslaughter and was sentenced to fourteen years' imprisonment on each. The Fifth Court of Appeals affirmed his convictions. Shaw v. State, Nos. 05-22-01219-CR & 05-22-01220-CR (Tex. App.-Dallas Feb. 20, 2024) (not designated for publication). 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.
On July 9, 2024, the trial court entered an order designating issues. The district clerk forwarded these applications to this Court prior to the order designating issues being entered. Therefore, the applications were forwarded before the trial court made findings of fact and conclusions of law. We remand these applications to the trial court to complete its evidentiary investigation and make findings of fact and conclusions of law.
The trial court shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law within ninety days from the date of this order. The district clerk shall then immediately forward to this Court the trial court's findings and conclusions and the record developed on remand, including, among other things, affidavits, motions, objections, proposed findings and conclusions, orders, and transcripts from hearings and depositions. See Tex. R. App. P. 73.4(b)(4). Any extensions of time must be requested by the trial court and obtained from this Court.
