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, in two cause numbers, of harassment by a person in a correctional facility and sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment on each cause. The Sixth Court of Appeals affirmed his convictions. Sanders v. State, Nos. 06-05-00105-CR & 06-05-00106-CR (Tex. App.-Texarkana Jan. 5, 2006).
In his present applications, Applicant raises four grounds challenging his convictions. These applications, however, present a more serious question. This Court's records reflect that Applicant has filed six prior applications challenging these convictions. It is obvious from the record that Applicant 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. These applications are dismissed.
Therefore, we instruct the Honorable Louise Pearson, Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals, not to accept or file the instant applications for writs of habeas corpus, or any future application pertaining to these convictions 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).
A copy of this order shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
