Harrell, Artis Charles

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-68,613-13
EX PARTE ARTIS CHARLES HARRELL, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 982557-G IN THE 184TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM HARRIS 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 aggravated robbery
with a deadly weapon and sentenced to ninety-nine years’ imprisonment.
In his present application, Applicant raises grounds of actual innocence, prosecutorial
misconduct, fourth amendment violations, and ineffective assistance of counsel. This application,
however, presents a more serious question. This Court’s records reflect that Applicant has filed six
prior applications pertaining to this conviction. It is obvious from the record that Applicant
2
continues to raise issues that have been presented and rejected in previous applications or that should
have been presented in previous applications. The writ of habeas corpus is not to be lightly or easily
abused. Sanders v. U.S., 373 U.S. 1 (1963); Ex parte Carr, 511 S.W.2d 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974).
Because of his repetitive claims, we hold that Applicant’s claims are barred from review under
Article 11.07, § 4, and are waived and abandoned by his abuse of the writ. This application is
dismissed.
Therefore, we instruct the Honorable Abel Acosta, Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals,
not to accept or file the instant application for a writ of habeas corpus, or any future application
pertaining to this conviction unless Applicant is able to show in such an application that any claims
presented have not been raised previously and that they could not have been presented in a previous
application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Bilton, 602 S.W.2d 534 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980).
Copies of this order shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Correctional
Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
