OPINION
Applicant has been adjudicated a sexually violent predator. A jury convicted Applicant of
violating his civil commitment order and assessed a life sentence. This Court affirmed the conviction.
Bohannan v. State, 546 S.W.3d 166 (Tex. Crim. App. 2018). Applicant filed these applications for
writs of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded them to this
Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC . art. 11.07.
The trial court has entered findings and made recommendations, and this Court has made an
independent review of the habeas records, which include Applicant’s objections. This Court agrees
with the trial court. Habeas relief should be denied on all of Applicant’s claims, except for his claim
2
regarding the assessment of attorney’s fees.
Relief is granted as to the attorney-fees claim only. See Mayer v. State, 309 S.W.3d 552, 557
(Tex. Crim. App. 2010). The portion of the judgment assessing attorney’s fees in cause number
12-10-10953-CR in the 435th District Court of Montgomery County is deleted. All other relief is
denied.
Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice–Correctional
Institutions Division and the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
