Ex parte Garry Lon Brownlee, Applicant v. << (2014)

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 these applications for writs of habeas corpus.  Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex.Crim.App.1967).   Applicant was convicted of three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and sentenced to imprisonment for life on each count.   The Eleventh Court of Appeals affirmed his convictions in Brownlee v. State, Nos. 11–08–00264–CR, 11–08–00265–CR & 11–08–0266–CR (Tex. AppEastland May 13, 2010, pet. ref'd).

On September 15,2014, the trial court ordered an evidentiary hearing on Applicant's claims of actual innocence be scheduled before December 31, 2014.   It appears that the trial court has not completed its fact finding in these cases.   We remand these applications to the 220th District Court of Comanche County to allow the trial judge to complete an evidentiary investigation and enter the appropriate findings of fact and conclusions of law.

These applications will be held in abeyance until the trial court has resolved the fact issues.   The issues shall be resolved within 90 days of this order.   A supplemental transcript containing all affidavits and interrogatories or the transcription of the court reporter's notes from any hearing or deposition, along with the trial court's supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall be forwarded to this Court within 120 days of the date of this order.   Any extensions of time shall be obtained from this Court.

Per curiam.
