IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NOS. WR-19,518-13 & WR-19,518-14
EX PARTE RAY HIGHTOWER, JR. , Applicant
ON APPLICATIONS FOR WRITS OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NOS. 353-D & 354-D IN THE 350TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM TAYLOR COUNTY
Per curiam.
ORDER
Applicant filed these applications for writs of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and
after a remand, the district clerk returned the writ applications to this Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM .
PROC. art. 11.07. Under Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, a district clerk is
required to forward to this Court, among other things, “the application, any answers filed, any
motions filed, transcripts of all depositions and hearings, any affidavits, and any other matters such
as official records used by the court in resolving issues of fact.” Id. at § 3(d); see also TEX . R. APP .
P. 73.4(b)(4). However, the record forwarded to this Court appears to be incomplete as it does not
contain amended Article 11.07 applications, briefs, and attached exhibits allegedly filed by Applicant
in February 2019.
2
The district clerk shall either forward the amended 11.07 habeas corpus applications and
briefs to this Court or certify in writing that these documents are not part of the record. The district
clerk shall comply with this order within thirty days from the date of this order.
