Woodard, Brandon Lohran

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-65,038-04
EX PARTE BRANDON LOHRAN WOODARD, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. W00-53218-M(D) IN THE 194TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM DALLAS COUNTY
Per curiam.
ORDER
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the
clerk of the trial court transmitted to this Court this application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte
Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of the offense of
capital murder and sentenced to imprisonment for life. The Fifth Court of Appeals affirmed his
conviction. Woodard v. State, No. 05-02-00839-CR (Tex. App.—Dallas April 4, 2003)(not
designated for publication).
The record shows that the trial court held a habeas hearing, where at least one witness did
not appear. It appears that the trial court is not finished with its fact-finding. We remand this
application to the 194th District Court of Dallas County to allow the trial judge to complete an
evidentiary investigation and enter findings of fact and conclusions of law.
This application will be held in abeyance until the trial court has resolved the fact issues. The
issues shall be resolved within 90 days of this order. A supplemental transcript containing all
affidavits and interrogatories or the transcription of the court reporter’s notes from any hearing or
deposition, along with the trial court’s supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall
be forwarded to this Court within 120 days of the date of this order. The supplemental record shall
also contain Applicant’s memorandum of law and exhibits, if any. Any extensions of time must be
requested by the trial court and shall be obtained from this Court.
