    IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
    OF TEXAS
    NO. WR-82,357-01
    EX PARTE ISREAL REYES, SR., Applicant
    ON APPLICATION :FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
    CAUSE NO. CR2012-428-l IN THE 207th DISTRICT COURT
    FROM COMAL COUNTY
    Per curiam.
    OPINION
    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 this application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte
    Young, 
    418 S.W.2d 824
    , 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of one count of
    aggravated assault with a deadly weapon against a family member, one count of endangering a child,
    and one count of unlawful possession of a fireann. Applicant was sentenced to twenty years'
    imprisonment for the aggravated assault count and ten years' imprisonment on the other two counts.
    Applicant contends that his counsel rendered ineffective assistance because he failed to
    timely file a notice of appeal. We remanded this application to the trial comt for findings of fact and
    conclusions of law.
    2
    The trial court, after conducting a live evidentiary hearing, has determined that counsel failed
    to timely file a notice of appeal. We find that Applicant is entitled to the opportunity to file an out-
    of-time appeal of the judgment of conviction in Cause No. CR2012-428-l from the 107th District
    Court of Coma! County. Applicant is ordered returned to that time at which he may give a written
    notice of appeal so that he may then, with the aid of counsel, obtain a meaningful appeal. Within
    ten days of the issuance of this opinion, the trial court shall detennine whether Applicant is indigent.
    If Applicant is indigent and wishes to be represented by counsel, the trial court shall immediately
    appoint an attorney to represent Applicant on direct appeal. All time limits shall be calculated as if
    the sentence had been imposed on the date on which the mandate ofthis Court issues. We hold that,
    should Applicant desire to prosecute an appeal, he must take affirmative steps to file a written notice
    of appeal in the trial court within 30 days after the mandate of this Court issues.
    Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas DepmimentofCriminal Justice-Correctional
    Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
