IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-82,656-01
EX PARTE JIMMIE MCMORRIS, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 1177999-A
IN THE 371ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT FROM TARRANT 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 two counts of
sexual assault and was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment in each count. The Eighth Court of
Appeals affirmed his conviction. McMorris v. State, 08-11-00171-CR (Tex. App.—El Paso Dec.
19, 2012)(not designated for publication).
Applicant filed an 11.07 application in this cause on June 23, 2014 raising two grounds of
ineffective assistance of counsel. He filed an amended application raising five additional grounds
on October 2, 2014. On January 15, 2015, the trial court signed findings of fact and conclusions of
law that were based on affidavits from counsel. Those findings and conclusions only address the
initial habeas application. The trial court recommended that relief be denied.
Based on the trial court’s findings of fact as well as this Court’s independent review of the
entire record, we deny relief on all grounds raised in both applications.
