IN RE CELINA JEAN HARP, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
345th District Court
Travis County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. D-1-AG-15-002375
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On February 12, 2020, relator Celina Jean Harp filed a petition for writ of
habeas corpus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App.
P. 52. In the petition, relator claims that the Order Revoking Suspension and for
Commitment, signed on January 29, 2020 by the Honorable Eric Shepperd, is void
because it (1) is based on an expired and void underlying order of enforcement,
and (2) wrongfully denies her entitlement to “good conduct time credit” while she
is incarcerated. She requests that she be discharged from confinement. We
conclude that the order is not void, but it improperly denies her entitlement to good
conduct time credit. See Ex parte Roosth, 881 S.W.2d 300, 301 (Tex. 1994) (orig.
proceeding) (“A trial court has no authority to limit the operation of the good
behavior credit.”).
Accordingly, we grant in part her petition for writ of habeas corpus, such
that the provision barring good conduct time credit is stricken from the trial court’s
January 29, 2020 order. See id. All other requested relief is denied.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Wise, Jewell, and Poissant.
