    RELATOR'S MOTION TO ENFORCE JUDGEMENT/FOR
    ACTUAL_ISSJLANCE_OF_RJ5LATOR^
    TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
    Comes now, Jason_T^_Pe£ues_#728196, Relator, Pro-se, respectfully
    submit this motion to enforce judgement/for actual issuance of
    relator's writ of mandamus in reference to appellate case number
    01-15-00 535-CR. Relator would like to show this Honorable Court the
    following:
    Z5Q£S22SAt_5I§I25I
    Around March 24,2015 Relator filed a Motion for Forensic DNA Testing
    in which the Fort Bend District Attorney's Office received the motion
    o
    * AEIil_3.L2015. Around June 12,2015 Relator filed a Petition for writ
    o
    f Mandamus in this Honorable Court. (Appellate Case •#: 01-15-00535-CR).
    The State filed a motion for extension of time around June_10x2015, in
    which the trial court granted, extending the deadline date to
    June 29,2015 which was requested by the State in it's motion.(SEE:
    Attachment _'±A^) . Around JglZ 3,2 015 Relator filed an objection in the
    trial court and requested for counsel,and that counsel do not file
    anything until relator and counsel discuss every aspect of the c     ase
    and agree on what's best to file in which the trial court never
    responded to.Mempa v. Rhay,389 U.S.12_8. Shortly after, the State filed
    a second motion, requesting the trial Judge issue/enter orders to
    -1-
    various parties for the location of the evidence in this case 2 618 5,
    in which relator also objected to. (see: Attachment "g"). This
    Honorable    court    ordered the trial      court to respond to relator's writ
    of mandamus    30    days from the order,      in which the trial court did respond
    to relator's writ of mandamus         around July 23,2015.       Relator responded to
    the respondent's reply on July__30±2 015. The trial court additionally
    granted the State's second motion to enter orders to various parties to
    locate the    evidence    in this   case    so that   the   State can respond to
    relator's    motion for forensic      DNA Testing.
    NATURE_0F_PR0CEEDING
    The nature of proceeding in regards to this motion is to compel the
    trial court to make findings regarding post-conviction DNA Testing as
    required by art.64.04 of the Tex.Code of Crim.Proc.                and to also enforce
    this Honorable Court's Judgement to actual issue relator's writ of
    mandamus.    The nature of this proceeding is to also prove and show this
    Honorable Court that relator is constitutionally entitled to relief in
    which he is requesting this court to grant based on the facts and the
    official records of this case 2618 5. In re M. B. Jackson^2

    STATEMENT    OF   THE   CASE
    Relator is requesting that this Honorable Court actually issue relator's
    writ of mandamus.       Relator along with this Honorable Court has          given
    the respondent ample enough time to make a finding which is required
    by code of criminal procedure art.64.04 due to relator's motion for
    forensic DNA testing being filed on March 24,2015, nearly six (6)
    months ago. The fact that the respondent granted a motion to enter
    orders to various parties so that the state can make a finding,                and
    -2-
    receiving affidavits from all parties with the exception of
    Former_As sistant Distr ict„At to rney__Jam es_Sidney__Crow1ey_, who is in
    contempt of court for not complying with a court order that was signed
    by an Hon.Judge, all parties stating that they have no knowledge of
    where the evidence in this case is located (SEE: Attachment_'^C^), the
    respondent has still not made a finding, violating the Judge's
    Adjudicative Responsibilities prescribed by the Judicial Canons as well
    as the 1st, 5th, and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, nor have
    the respondent attempted to file for extension, so relator reasonably
    files this motion respectfully advise this Honorable Court to issue his
    writ of mandamus so that a finding can be made (SEE: In re _M^B ^Jacks onj_
    2
    38 S.W.3d 603
    _(Tex±Ap_p_j.1-- Waco_2007 )), or grant relator relief of
    immediately release from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice
    System, vacating his sentence and charge due to relator being
    constitutionally entitled to relief. Ex^arte-R^oslin-Marie^urn^r"A

    ISSUES   PRESENTED
    I.
    Relator's Motion for DNA Testing was file around March 24,2015 based
    on relator's court appointed counsel Cary M.Faden stating in a habeas
    proceeding that DNA testing had been done and confirmed relator as the
    perpetrator, which through investigation later revealed that aggravated
    perjury had been committed because according to the record DNA test
    results were inconclusive with no match. SEE: Attachmen.t_^D^. Counsel
    made this false statement with intent to deceive, he was the one who
    cross-examined the criminalist Monica Thompson (Attachment "D'Q .
    -3-
    Counsel knew the knowledge of the statement meaning, made false
    statement under oath in connection with an official proceeding;    and
    that false statement was material and could have affected the course or
    outcome of an official proceeding. Coleman v. State, 279 _S«JJx2669 F.3d 225
    ) , relator is now able
    to present the entire initial police investigation of this case,
    supported by the investigating record to expose all the Constitutional,
    Substantial,        and Procedural errors and violations that took place in
    the initial police investigating parts of this case 2618 5.

    III.
    According to Evidence_75: As a general rule, a party's failure to
    produce evidence within it's control raises the presumption that, if
    produced.it would operate against him.
    With the State not being able to present the evidence in this case,
    confirms that woithout the illegal taken statement, there is not any
    physical or biological evidence, nor was there ever any to support
    convicting relator, and with the State not being able to present
    evidence in this case, it forces the State to make a determination of
    whether the State wants to attempt to prove the statement that was
    admitted into evidence was legally taken, or to grant relator relief
    of time-served and avoid reversal proceedings.

    [PLEASE SEE INVESTIGATING RECORD ATTACHED TO RELATOR'S WRIT OF
    MANDAMUS : APPELLATECASE N0.01-15-00535-CR]
    I.
    In the initial police investigation, constitutional, substantial, and
    procedural rights were violated and affected. The investigating record
    in this case 26185 reflects that the police officers visited the child
    numerous times although he was classified only as a witness,questioning
    and interrogating him about a criminal act, never informing him of his
    5th Amendment right of having his parents present before and during
    the interrogation/questioning which is a due process violation under
    the 14th Amendment of the U.S.Constitution, as well as a parental
    notification requirement violation. Moran_v_;__Burbinex475_U_1S_L412x432A

    .
    The investigating record also reflects that multiple times the police
    officers visited the victim parents at their home which was right next
    door to where the witness lived, but instead of the police officers
    going to the witness home where his parents would be present, the police
    officers waited until the child was at school to quest ion/interrogate
    him in a office alone during school hours avoiding parental interference
    which is a due process Violation and police coercive conduct. The police
    never notified the child's parents of their questioning/interrogating
    the child at school, the child was being interrogated without the
    informance, notification, or consent of his parents which affected
    substantial rights, pursuant to Fed££alwRules_o^_Crj.mi^
    establishing that these plain errors were prejudicial. (I11ihois^v^
    PerkinsA_496_U^S^292A297_£1990).
    II.
    These violations and errors in the initial police investigation in this
    case 26185 led to the child being arrested from school with no evidence
    making the arrest illegal. The officers continued to violate due process
    rights and affect substantial rights, committing plain errors that were
    prejudicial by failing to inform the child's parents that the child had
    been arrested and why, and in failing to do so violat£s_Family__C^de_Ann,
    52.02(b). The investigating record in this case reflects that the child
    was arrested at 1100 hours and the child's parents were notified at
    1607 hours, making that a five hour and seven minute delay, which is a
    XJ£l*Il££_£l-gilllX-9°de 52 •-°-1&1 and due process right violation as
    well. jKS^v^ Givosky-Garibay.x_176_F^Supjg_21_102' IH-I^C^R±±995_S^Wx2d

    The State statue requires that a child's parents must be promptly told
    that the child has been arrested and why and reuires more than just
    a phone call. Inre C.R.,995 S.W.2d 778 (Tex.App.--Augtin). In that
    five hour and seven minute delay, the coercive police conduct continued
    as the police took the child out of the county the crime occurred which
    was in Fort Bend County, to another county (Harris County), acting
    without legal authority, lodging the child into a facility that was
    not approved by the Fort Bend County Juvenile Court and extracted a
    statement/confession from the child, making the statement/confession
    illegal and inadmissible by law violating Vernon's Ann.Texas Code of
    Criminal Procedure art.38.23..Wilsonv^State,311 S.W.3d at 458-5 9;

    143__F^3d_534-539 (9th Cir.1998), but there was no evidence against
    relator, so although the statement/confession was taken illegally,
    that was all the State had so it was secured, admitted into evidence,
    and used to convict relator and sentenced him to fifty years in prison.

    After the child was certified, the investigating record in this case
    which proves the violations and errors that occurred in the initial
    police investigation was sealed by the Fort Bend County Juvenile Court
    in purpose to hide these violations and errors, which has been hidden
    for over twenty years. Relator had no knowledge that the investigating
    record in this case 26122 had been sealed, but relator was recently
    able to gain possession of the investigating record in this case
    establishing "Affirmative Evidence of Relator's Innocence" entitling
    him to a live evidentiary hearing Ex_£arte Frankl in ,_7 2_S^W^3d_6 7_1^6 78

    authority of (The DeGarmo Doctrine) Jacobson v. _StateJ_39 8_;SxW^-2-122

    investigating record in this case, relator is now able to present the
    entire investigating record along with all the violations and errors
    that occurred in the initial police investigation of this case 26185.
    CLOSING
    REQUEST FOR RELIEF
    The statement/confession that was illegally taken and admitted into
    evidence and used to convict relator, making that illegally taken
    statement over 90% of relator's conviction is proven beyond a
    reasonable doubt by way of the investigating record in this ease, along
    with support by State, Federal, and Supreme court cases. Flores_v^_
    Stat e_j__8 24_SxWx2 d_7 04 .
    With relator proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the statement that
    was secured and used to convict relator was illegally taken and by law
    was inadmissible results to the actual evidence the State claimed to
    have had against relator. It has been proven that DNA test results
    were inconclusive, with no match according to the official court
    reporter's record in this case which requires for the evidence against
    -9-
    relator to be presented to justify his convict ion.Please see the
    following:
    1.)   Without       the    illegal      taken statement...
    2.) With the official court reporter's record reflecting that
    DNA    test    results      were    inconclusive,with no match...
    3.) With the various parties who submitted their court order
    affidavits          stating that      they have no knowledge of where
    the    evidence       in   this    case   is   located and no personal
    recollection          of   this    case...
    4.) With the State not being able to present the evidence in
    this    case . ..
    There is no support of relator being convicted and sentenced to fifty
    years in prison. The State may attempt to redirect the court's
    attention as to how guilty relator was in trial reflection but no where
    is there mentioning of the             initial police investigation and this is why
    the statement carried so much weight.                  The State had no other evidence
    against relator other than the illegal taken statement, but again,
    after relator was cert ified,the investigating record                        in this case Was
    sealed so the    State either failed to disclose this particular evidence
    to the   defense which      is   favorable         evidence,      or the   District   Court
    Appointed Counsel Gary M.Faden ignored and neglected the clear and
    obvious violations and errors that would have resulted this case by law
    differently. Relator has spent the last twenty-one years in prison with
    the State hiding the           investigating record that exposes violations and
    errors   that would have resulted this                case      differently.   Fortunately,
    relator gained possession of the investigating record and fortunately,
    the court of criminal appeals completely overruled the DeGarmo Doctrine
    enabling relator to present these particular violations and errors the
    State hid for so many years.                Now that relator is presenting the
    -10-
    investigating record proving violations and errors that occurred in the
    initial police investigation in this case 26185, "ironically" the State
    has committed aggravated perjury,      can not locate the evidence,     and
    refusing to directly address the designating issues in this case that
    occurred in the    initial police investigation. According to Tex .R.App.
    Proc *44.2(a2 _Const itut ional Error: If the Appellate Record in a Criminal
    Case reveals   Constitutional   error that   is   subject to harmless   error
    review, the court of appeals must reverse a Judgement of Conviction or
    punishment unless the court determines beyond a reasonable doubt that
    the error did not contribute to the conviction or punishment.           Ex_£arte
    Thom£so.n_l 53^SvW^3d_416 ; Leday v. State 983 _S jW^ldat,?^; Harrison_v^
    U^Sii_3 92_U_1S_1_219 .
    Not only did these violations and errors that occurred in the initial
    police investigation contribute to the conviction and punishment, but
    the State hid these violations and errors for over 20 years by sealing
    the record that expose these violations and errors in Juvenile
    Proceedings, never disclosing the favorable evidence (With-holding
    Evidence) to the defense, tainting the integrity of the Justice System
    resulting to unfair proceedings, unfair trial, reversable error, taking
    away twenty-one years of relator's life.
    II.
    Due to all the facts and the official record in this case now being
    presented, relator request that this Honorable Court reverse this case
    and grant relator the relief in which he is Constitutionally entitled
    to. Relator request to be bench-warranted to Fort Bend County if
    necessary and immediately released from the Texas Department of
    Corrections,    vacating his sentence and charge.

    STATE'S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO
    DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR FORENSIC DNA TESTING
    TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:
    COMES NOW THE STATE OF TEXAS, by and through its district
    attorney, files this State's Answer to Motion for Forensic DNA testing and would
    show the following:
    1.    On July 20, 1994, Jason Tyrone Pegues (Movant) was found guilty of
    aggravated sexual assault ofa child, and sentenced to 50 years inthe
    Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. He has
    now filed a Motion for DNA testing.
    2.    Pursuant to Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 64.02, the State not later than
    the 60 day after the date the motion is served on the attorney
    representing the state shall: (A) deliver the evidence to the court,
    along with a description of the condition of the evidence; or (B)
    explain in writing to the court why the state cannot deliver the
    evidence to the court.
    3.    The State would respectfully request an extension of time to file its
    response.
    4.    This is the State's first request for extension of time in this case.
    5.     The undersigned is one of three attorneys responsible for all appellate
    matters for the Fort Bend County District Attorney's Office and is
    involved in the preparation of other direct appeal briefs or post
    conviction writs.
    6.    The State is in the process of obtaining affidavits regarding the
    4
    location of the evidence to assist the Court in determining whether to
    order forensic DNA testing in this case.
    7.    A realistic time that the State believes it could have its response filed
    in the present case is June 29, 2015.
    8.    Therefore, the State would request an extension of time until June 29,
    2015, to file its response. If there is any way to complete the State's

    Honorable Court grant this motion and extend the deadline for filing the State's
    response in this case to June 29, 2015.

    LLoraihe Crawford, was the Official Court Reporter for the 240th District Court ofthe State of
    Texas from 1991 until March of2008. I now reside in Fate, Rockwall County, Texas.
    Ihave avague recollection ofreporting in the case ofState vs. Pegues, but Ihave no specific
    recollection ofthe case, nor ofthe exhibits offered and/or admitted into evidence. However, I do
    remember mat itwas the policy and procedure ofthe court reporters in Fort Bend County to keep exhibits
    during atrial or hearing until the proceeding was concluded. At that time, it was the court reporter's
    responsibility to log the exhibits and then to submit the exhibits and the log to the District Clerk. Iam
    certain Ifollowed that procedure, and there should be an original copy ofthe log in the Court's file. That
    is all Iremember about mis specific case. It is also possible another court reporter reported ahearing or
    trial in this case. Itwas Judge Culver's policy to make anotation on the left margin ofthe docket sheet
    "reported" ifIwas the court reporter for the case. Ifthere was asubstitute court reporter, it was his policy
    to mark "reported by..." with the name ofthe court reporter who reported that day.
    I have relinquished my certification as acourt reporter in the State ofTexas afew years after I
    retired in 2008.

    BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally appeared Courtney Head,
    who, after being duly sworn, stated as follows:
    "My name is Courtney Head. I am of sound mind, over the age of 18 years, and
    competent to make this Affidavit. I have personal knowledge of all facts stated in this
    Affidavit.
    "I am employed by the City of Houston and assigned to the Forensic Analysis Division
    of the Houston Forensic Science Center.         My current job title is Criminalist
    Specialist/Supervisor - Forensic Biology, and I have been in my current role since
    January 4, 2010.
    "On April 3, 2014, Houston Forensic Science Center, Inc., which operates as Houston
    Forensic Science Center (the 'Center"), assumed responsibility for substantially all
    forensic operations of the City of Houston, including the forensic laboratory formerly
    known as the HPD Crime Lab.
    "I am executing this Affidavit in response to the 'Order on State's Motion to Enter Orders
    so that the State May Respond to the Defendant's Motion for Forensic Data Testing'
    (the 'Order") issued on June 26, 2015, by the 240th District Court of Fort Bend County,
    Texas in connection with the captioned proceeding (the 'Case').
    "My only 'recollection' regarding 'HPD Case # 140481893 or 140481893B and
    LAB#L94-159' arises from the following items and documents currently in the Center's
    possession:
    1. A plastic bag containing an index card to which a square piece of gauze is
    attached. The square of gauze (approximately 2" x 2") appears to have a
    reddish brown stain located in the center. 'L94-159' has been marked on the
    index card.
    2. A flip-top tube containing a small piece of gauze (also located in the plastic
    bag noted above containing the index card). 194-159' has been marked on
    the tube.
    3. Twenty-four pages of documents, accurate copies of which are attached to
    this Affidavit as Exhibit 'A.'
    "I have not opened the plastic bag or the tube described above.
    "Other than the items and documents described above, I have no personal knowledge
    regarding the current existence of evidence recovered in connection with the Case. The
    piece ofgauze described above may be in a condition that makes DNA testing possible.
    "I have no personal knowledge regarding the chain of custody of the plastic bag or the
    tube described above or whether evidence in the Case previously has been subjected
    to DNA testing.
    "If evidence in the Case previously was subjected to DNA testing, newer testing
    techniques may be available that provide more accurate results than previous testing,
    depending when the previous testing was conducted.
    "I have no personal knowledge of the present whereabouts of evidence related to the
    Case other than the items and documents described above.
    "I have no personal knowledge that evidence related to the Case is missing or has been
    destroyed.
    "I understand that Lori Wilson, another employee of the Center, also is executing an
    Affidavit in response to the Order. To the best of my knowledge, no other person
    employed ormanaged by the Center has information related to the Case that is different
    from the facts stated in this Affidavit and in Ms. Wilson's Affidavit."

    Before SCHNEIDER, C.J., and O'CONNOR and MARGARET GARNER MIRABAL, JJ.
    Gary M. Faden, Sugarland, for Appellant.John F. Healey, Jr., John H. Harrity, JH, Richmond,
    for Appellee.
    OPINION ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
    We overrule the appellant's motion for rehearing, withdraw our previous opinion, and
    substitute this in its stead.
    Jason Tyrone Pegues, the appellant, was found guilty by a jury ofthe offense of aggravated
    sexual assault. Punishment was assessed at 50 years in prison. On appeal, the appellant
    argues the trial court erred in (1) not entering written findings of fact and conclusions of law
    on the voluntariness and legality of his confession and (2) overruling his motion to suppress
    his confession.      We affirm.
    Background
    The offense for which the appellant was tried occurred on December 28, 1993. On March
    3, 1994, Officer Anderson went to Willowridge High School to arrest the appellant. After
    the arrest, Anderson transported the appellant to the command station in downtown
    Houston and brought him before Judge John Joneitz, a magistrate judge who administers
    statutory warnings to juveniles. Judge Joneitz administered the statutory warnings to the
    appellant.
    Afterwards, the appellant was placed in a holding cell at the downtown command station,
    2/7/201'J2:16P?.'*//
    r'EGUES v. STATE, No. 01-95-01008-CR., December 18, 1997 - 'IX..         http://cas.elaw.findlaw.com/tx-.co.urt-of-appeals/1012121.htral
    which had been designated as a juvenile holding facility by the juvenile boards ofHarris and
    Fort Bend Counties. Anderson typed the appellant's statement as he stated it to her.
    After Anderson typed the appellant's statement, she gave him the opportunity to correct it.
    Anderson then took the appellant back to Judge Joneitz's chambers, where Judge Joneitz
    privately asked the appellant to read the statement back to him. Judge Joneitz asked the
    appellant some questions that were designed to enable him to determine if the statement was
    given freely and voluntarily. Judge Joneitz determined the appellant gave the statement
    freely and voluntarily and certified that the appellant signed the statement in Judge Joneitz's
    presence.
    After conducting a pretrial hearing on the voluntariness ofthe appellant's statement or
    confession^ the trial court denied the appellant's motion to suppress his confession. The
    appellant re^-urged his objection to the admission ofthe confession at trial, but the trial court
    overruled it and admitted the confession into evidence.
    The appellant testified during the punishment phase ofthe trial. When asked ofhis
    feelings about the events that took place on December 28, 1994, the appellant said he was
    sorry. He said he regretted what had happened to the complainant and assumed full
    responsibility, saying he had just made a mistake. He said he had been attending a
    rehabilitation program that involved therapy for sexual offenders. On cross-examination,
    the prosecutor elicited the following testimony from the appellant:
    Q (by Crowley): In fact, Mr. Pegues, I would suggest that you're not sorry at all for raping
    [the complainant]; but you're very sorry that you're looking to go to the penitentiary, aren't
    you?
    A    (by the appellant): No, sir.        I'm sorry of the fact that I did something like that.
    Motion to Suppress the Confession
    In point of error two, the appellant claims his confession was taken in violation of
    Tex.Fam.Code § 52.02.1
    Relying on the DeGarmo doctrine, in our original opinion we held the appellant waived this
    complaint because he admitted he committed the offense during the punishment phase of
    the trial. DeGarmo v. State, 
    691 S.W.2d 657
    , 660-61 (Tex.Crim.App.1985). %In his
    motion for rehearing, the appellant argues we took his statement at the punishment phase
    out of context and that it was not an unequivocal confession. He argues DeGarmo should
    not apply here.' We disagree.
    The DeGarmo doctrine provides that, if during the punishment phase, a defendant confesses
    to all the elements ofthe crime for which he has been found guilty, he waives any error that
    might have occurred during the guilt stage of the trial/" Id.; Deleon v. State, 
    925 S.W.2d 295
    , 296 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist] 1996, no pet.).
    0f 4                                                                                                                2/7/2013 2:16 FM
    PEGUES v. STATE, No. 01-95-01008-CR., December 18, 1997 - TX...       http://caselaw.findlaw.com/tx-court-of-appeals/1012121.html
    The appellant, responding to a question clearly referring to the rape, expressed remorse for
    raping the complainant. His confession, which he claims should not have been admitted,
    also stated he raped the complainant. * Neither statement admitted to using a knife during
    the attack. Thus, the appellant's statement at the punishment phase did not confess to all
    the elements of aggravated sexual assault. The DeGarmo doctrine does not apply squarely
    to this case but its rationale does.
    The DeGarmo doctrine has been called a common-sense rule ofprocedure. See
    McGlothlin v. State, 
    896 S.W.2d 183
    , 187 (Tex.Crim.App. 1995). This is so because a
    defendant who complains of the improper admission of evidence,, a trial error, would at most
    be granted a new trial. 
    Id. at 188.
    Upon retrial, the defendant's judicial confession to all
    the elements of the offense would be admissible.          See Tex.R.Crim.P. art, 38.22, § 5
    (1979).     Therefore, a new trial would be pointless, as the trier of fact would hear the
    defendant's confession to the offense.
    The same reasoning applies in this case. Here, the appellant did not admit to all the
    elements of aggravated sexual assault, and so did not waive all error occurring during the
    guilt phase. However, his judicial confession to the rape matched the confession he argues
    was erroneously admitted. The DeGarmo reasoning applies here. Assuming the
    confession Was erroneously admitted and the appellant was granted a new trial, his judicial
    confession, that he was sorry he committed the rape, would be admissible at the new trial.
    We conclude the appellant's admission during the punishment phase waived any error that
    may have occurred concerning the admission of his confession at the guilt phase ofthe trial.
    We overrule point of error two.
    Failure to Enter Findings
    In point of error one, the appellant argues the trial court erred in not entering findings of
    fact and conclusions of law regarding the confession's voluntariness.            As stated above, the
    appellant waived any error that may have occurred with regard to the admission ofthe
    confession. This includes the entering of findings of fact and conclusions of law following
    a hearing on voluntariness.
    We overrule point of error one.
    We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
