IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-86,264-01
EX PARTE CHRISTIAN LANE-CLEMENT COOK, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. W416-81198-2013-HC IN THE 416TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM COLLIN COUNTY
Per curiam.
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 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 aggravated
assault causing serious bodily injury and sentenced to fifteen years’ imprisonment. The Fifth Court
of Appeals affirmed his conviction in Cook v. State, No. 05-15-00526-CR (Tex. App.— Dallas June
21, 2016)(not designated for publication).
Applicant contends that the State used false testimony and that his trial counsel rendered
ineffective assistance. The trial court has made findings of facts and conclusions of law and
recommends that relief be granted. In the findings, the trial court noted that it conducted a live
2
habeas hearing on December 13-14, 2016. However, the District Clerk has not forwarded to this
Court either reporter’s notes or a transcript of the habeas hearing in this case.
Therefore, the District Clerk of Collin County is ordered to prepare a transcript of the habeas
hearing conducted on December 13-14, 2016, and to transmit it to this Court. This application will
be held in abeyance until the habeas hearing transcript has been received by this Court. A
supplemental transcript containing all affidavits and the transcription of the court reporter’s notes
from any hearing or deposition shall be forwarded to this Court within 30 days of the date of this
order. Any extensions of time shall be obtained from this Court.
