tices the following:
I.
A) Relator's plea for jurisdiction involves the validity of the judgment pronou-
nced upon his imposed duplicitious Count indictment or.the Prosecutor'(s) own-
version of an unauthorization of a grand jury panel.Whicb judgment is void ab-
initio1because the alleged defendant1John Zavala1was never legally before the-
trial Court and it's presiding trial judge.In fact1the indictment is so fatally-
defective that it deprived the trial Court of subject-matter jurisdiction-Had -
defense Court appointed defense counsel(s) NOT elected too commit-breach of his-
her/their fiduciary duty and legal obligations1he/she/they would have objected-
~nd complained about deceptive trade P~actice acts by the prosecutor(s) and that
there was no actual returned True Bills of Indictment(s).These issues are well
pleaded in Relator's memorandum of law1as well as supported with his exh~bi``t­
ion of 42 items.Moreover 1Relator can never waive his United States Const~tutlon­
al rights guaranteed under the Fburteenth1and Fifth1Sixth1Eighth~Ninth Amendme-
nts.Therefo~e1Relator has not·waive~ any absolute rights1and has reserved the -
ese said rights even prior to his Coerced and induced plea of quilty1and will ~-

reserve his right to amend this designation so as to not have waived any err-
ors of law preserved in the trial COURT.Since his main issue of claims raised
is a challenge to the trial Court's/judg~'s jurisdiction,over the[ir]~subject~
matter and Parties of interest.In the interest of justice,may this Texas Court
of Criciinal Appeal~ taie judicial; notice,pursaunt to Rule 20l(a),(b),(c),(c),(d)T

docket it and have it processed and then presented to the said Court's justices-
for due consideration upon the relief Rel~tor seeks.Rather than harboring the -

lator has shown he has no other ad~quate remedy at law to pursue his requested-
relief other than with this Application.Even though the law established expres-
ses he has a clear right to the relief .sought,and the merits of this Relator's
claims for relief are beyond dispute;as a legal right that necessitates that the
law plainly describes the duty to be p~rformed.Such that there is no room for -

and its judge or intruder of_jurisdiction over this case sub judice,and jurisd-
iction can not be retroactiv~ly obtained~State V.Riewe,l3 S.W.3d 408,supra(Tex.

st be filed within 15-days in order to invoke the juti~dictiori~ot thefAppellate
Court).However,whether the illegal third party interveners or the habeas judge,
ARTICLES 27.08(4),or & 44.01 does not preclude this Relator from filing a peti-
tion for a writ of mandamus to correct judicial action that is clearly contrary
to well-settled law,whether that law is derived from a statute,rule, or Opinion
of a Court.e.g.,State ex rel.Healey V.McMeans,884 S.W.2d 772,supra(Tex.Cr.App.-
1994).Relator's notice to with draw his unlawful and illegal guilty plea,as in-
coerced and induced is an appeal for jurisdictional defects,and Article 44.39-
(TCCP) can be applied too,because the Relator in this habeas corpus case is de-
tained by a person other than an Officer,and thus,the Sheriff of Anderson County
of the State of Texa~that must recieve the mandate of this Appellate Court,who
commands that an immediate cause of action be to the person so held to be dis-
charged sand-that[sic]L~ the mandate Shall be sufficient authority therefro~Id.
B) In this instant cause of action,this.Court of criminal Appeals can hold that
Relator has shown that he has no adequate remedy in law to compel the habeas -
Court's judge or intruder,to issue ari Order and issue the writ of habeas c9rp-
us to the right legal person holding Relator unlawfully against his will,and
to issue an ORDER that all o;r _any amicus or illegal third party's briefing fil-

12 of the Texas Constitution and Article 11.07,§ 3{b)(TCCP).Thus,the State of
Texas People do have a Statutory and Constitutional rights to the privileges -
of the Writ of habeas corpus-issuance against procedural of arbitrary judicial
directives,for the[ir]purpose· of Bills of Attainder,but prohibited by the laws
of the Land.Ibid •.• And see u.s.v,Frady,456 u.S.l52,163,n.l4(1982)(citation omi~
tted).Mandamus against the Respondent(s) is to cure deviation from the legal -
rule -that- is error of law and in this Case sub judice,said noted errors have
not been waived by Relator.And his Court appointed State defense Counsel had -
no legal authority to waive such plain errors of law.Not even with Relator's -
or Counsel~s Consent.As they are errors of none~waivable,nor can they be forf-
eited.e.g.,Keeter V.State,lOS S.W.3d 137,142,n.8-9,& n.l0-12(Tex.App.-Waco 20-

§
JOHN ZAVALA § TARRANT COUNTY, TX
STATE'S RESPONSE TO APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS
CORPUS
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:
COMES NOW THE STATE OF TEXAS, by and through its Tarrant County
Criminal District Attorney, and in opposition of the Application for Writ of Habeas
Corpus respectfully states the following to the Court based on its information and
belief:
I. HISTORY OF THE CASE
The applicant, JOHN ZAVALA ("Applicant"), pled guilty, pursuant to an
open plea, to the offenses of first degree felony arson and first degree felony burglary
of a habitation on June 7, 2005. See Judgment, No. 0943395D; Written Plea
Admonishments ("Admonishments"), No. 0943395D, p. 1. The court assessed
punishment at two concurrent terms of confinement for forty-five years in the Texa~
Department of Criminal Justice- Institutional Division. See Judgment.
1
.r'
The Seventh Court of Appeals affirmed Applicant's conviction on December
2, 2005. See Zavala v. State, No. 07-05-0250-CR, 2005 WL 3272364 (Tex. App.-
Amarillo, Dec. 2 2005, no pet.) (not designated for publication).
On January 10, 2006, Applicant's first and second applications for writ of
habeas corpus were dismissed as premature as Applicant's direct appeal was
pending. See Ex parte John Zavala, Nos. WR-63,888-01-02, Nos. C-396-007542-
0943395-A, C-396-007453-0943395-B (Tex. Crim. App. Jan. 10, 2006) (White
Card).
On August 30, 2006, Applicant's third application for writ of habeas corpus
was denied without written order on trial court's findings without a hearing. See Ex
parte John Zavala, No. WR-63,888-02, No. C-396-007765-0943395-C (Tex. Crim.
App. Aug. 30, 2006) (White Card).
IT. APPLICANT'S ALLEGATIONS
Applicant alleges his confinement is illegal because (1) the trial court lacked
subject-matter jurisdiction. See Application, p. 6-7.
lli. NECESSITY FOR AN EVIDENTIARY HEARING & EXPANSION OF
THE RECORD
There is no need for an expansion of the record. The State submits that the
record before the trial court is sufficient to resolve Applicant's grounds for relief.
Applicant need NOT be brought back to Tarrant County for a hearing.
2
•'
IV. ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITIES
A. Applicable Writ Law
In a habeas corpus proceeding, the burden of proof is on the applicant. Ex
parte Rains, 555 S.W.2d 478, 481 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977). An applicant "must
prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the error contributed to his conviction
or punishment." Ex parte Williams, 65 S.W.3d 656, 658 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001). In
order to prevail, the applicant must present facts that, if true, would entitle him to the
relief requested. Ex parte Maldonado, 688 S.W.2d 114, 114 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985).
Relief may be denied if the applicant states only conclusions, and not specific facts.
Ex parte McPherson, 32 S.W.3d 860, 861 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). In addition, an
applicant's sworn allegations alone are not sufficient to prove his claims. Ex parte
Empey, 757 S.W.2d 771,775 (Tex. Crim. App. 1988).
B. Applicant's application should be DISMISSED because the application
fails to allege sufficient specific facts to overcome the subsequent writ bar.
Applicant argues he can file this subsequent application because he did not
discover the issues until he received the trial transcripts. See Application, p. 3.
However, that is not a permissible exception. The Code of Criminal Procedure
provides that:
(a) If a subsequent application for writ of habeas corpus is filed after
fmal disposition of an initial application challenging the same
conviction, a court may not consider the merits of or grant relief based
3
_,
on the subsequent application unless the application contains sufficient
specific facts establishing that:
(1) the current claims and issues have not been and could not have been
presented previously in an original application or in a previously
considered application filed under this article because the factual or
legal basis for the claim was unavailable on the date the applicant filed
the previous application; or
(2) by a preponderance of the evidence, but for a violation of the United
States Constitution no rational juror could have found the applicant
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
(b) For purposes of Subsection (a)(l), a legal basis of a claim is
unavailable on or before a date described by Subsection (a)(1) if the
legal basis was not recognized by and could not have been reasonably
formulated from a final decision of the United States Supreme Court, a
court of appeals of the United States, or a court of appellate jurisdiction
of this state on or before that date.
(c) For purposes of Subsection (a)(l), a factual basis of a claim is
unavailable on or before a date described by Subsection (a)(1) if the
factual basis was not ascertainable through the exercise of reasonable
diligence on or before that date.
Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 §4.
The purpose of this statute is to limit a convicted person to "one bite at the
apple". Ex parte Whiteside, 12 S.W.3d 819, 821 (Tex. Crim. App .. 2000). This
statutory provision also bars the litigation of claims which could have been
formulated at the time of the original application for writ of habeas corpus. See Ex
Fontenot, 3 S.W.3d 32, 34 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999).
Because Applicant's claims are based on the trial record, the factual basis for
his claim was available on or before the date he filed his first application. Likewise,
4
··'
Applicant's claims are based on well-founded legal principles which existed at the
time he filed his first application. See Application; Memorandum. Finally,
Applicant presents no evidence that he is actually innocent. See Application;
Memorandum. In order to prevail on the exception that no rational juror would have
found him guilty, an applicant must make a prima facie showing that he is actually
innocent. Ex parte Brooks, 219 S.W.3d 396, 401 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007).
Therefore, Applicant has failed to present sufficient specific facts to overcome the
subsequent writ bar. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 §4.
Thus, this application should be DISMISSED AS A SUBSEQUENT.
APPLICATION.

V. CONCLUSION
Wherefore, premises considered, the State prays that this Court recommend
that Applicant's application be DISMISSED AS A SUBSEQUENT
APPLICATION.

. I.A.
Unlawfully-And-Illegally-Confined and Restrained of His Liberty
Appellant is presently unlawfully and- illegally confind and restrained of his Li-
berty by-Eddie D.Bker,acting in. his Official 6apacity as senior warden,under the
Texas Department of·Criminal Justice,under Brad Livingston,exective Director,over
all Correctional Institutional Divisions,as the Mark Wayne Michael Unit,where Your
Appellant is unlawfully held against:.his will~pursuant ~o an alleged Conviction -
of Arson (allegedly)involving a habitation ~nd burglary with intent to commit Ar-
son.But as no indication that ~ Te~cii ~encil t9de was referenced in the alleged -
indictment ,-next to the· implied charge, the, indictment or information therefrom,.:..
is legally insufficient with the [un]specific intent to com~it A~son and or burg-
arly with the intent to comite Arson,as there is no pleading that states that Ap-
pellant also,attempted,in the same criminal[alleged] transaction,to unlawfully &~
intenentiorially and knowing!~ st~rted a fire,which atts ~mounted to more than -
mere prepar~tion that tended but fa~led to ~ffect the ~ommission of the offense -
intended.·. However, Ray Ball Junior, a • State· Cout .appointed counsel for Appellant,-
intentionally ·cocered and induced, Appel ant.' s. c.~nse.nt t.o plead. gu.il ty to ·thos.e
