initial application for a writ of habeas corpus was due to be filed in the trial court on or
before July 9, 2015, assuming a motion for extension was timely filed and granted. See
Art. 11.071 §§ 4(a) and (b).
On March 29, 2017, because it had been more than a year and a half since the
application was due to be filed in the trial court, we ordered the trial court to resolve any
remaining issues in the case within 180 days of the date of the order. See Ex parte
Jenkins, No. WR-86,569-01 (Tex. Crim. App. Mar. 29, 2017) (not designated for
publication). In the same order, we ordered the clerk to immediately thereafter transmit
the complete record in the case to this Court. Id. Over three years later, no record in this
case has been transmitted to this Court.
Accordingly, we order the trial court to resolve any remaining issues in the case
within 60 days from the date of this order. The clerk shall then immediately transmit the
complete writ record to this Court. Any extensions of time shall be requested by the trial
judge, or on his or her behalf, and obtained from this Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 13TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2021.
