  •               IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
    OF TEXAS
    NO. WR-74,514-08
    EX PARTE EMILIO CINTRON, Applicant
    ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
    CAUSE NO. 2007-CR-3983-W8 IN THE 187th DISTRICT COURT
    FROM BEXAR 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 nine counts of
    aggravated sexual assault of a child and nine counts of indecency with a child. He was sentenced
    to life imprisonment on each count.
    In his present application, Applicant raises two grounds. This application, however, presents
    a more serious question. This Court’s records reflect that Applicant has filed seven prior
    applications pertaining to this conviction. It is obvious from the record that Applicant continues to
    2
    raise issues that have been presented and rejected in previous applications or that should have been
    presented in previous applications. The writ of habeas corpus is not to be lightly or easily abused.
    Sanders v. U.S., 
    373 U.S. 1
    (1963); Ex parte Carr, 
    511 S.W.2d 523
    (Tex. Crim. App. 1974).
    Because of his repetitive claims, we hold that Applicant’s claims are barred from review under
    Article 11.07, § 4, and are waived and abandoned by his abuse of the writ. This application is
    dismissed.
    Therefore, we instruct the Honorable Abel Acosta, Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals,
    not to accept or file the instant application for a writ of habeas corpus, or any future application
    pertaining to this conviction unless Applicant is able to show in such an application that any claims
    presented have not been raised previously and that they could not have been presented in a previous
    application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Bilton, 
    602 S.W.2d 534
    (Tex. Crim. App. 1980).
    Copies of this order shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Correctional
    Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
