ORDER
Applicant was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The First Court of
Appeals affirmed his conviction. Grant v. State, No. 01-02-01173-CR (Tex. App.—Houston [1st
Dist.] Apr. 1, 2014) (not designated for publication). Applicant filed this application for a writ of
habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this Court. See TEX .
CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07.
Applicant contends, among other things, that he is actually innocent. See Ex parte Elizondo,
947 S.W.2d 202 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). Applicant and the State jointly signed proposed findings
of fact and conclusions of law. The trial court adopted these, concluded that Applicant established
that he is actually innocent, and recommended that we grant him a new trial. We believe that the
2
record should be further developed. The trial court shall order the District Clerk to forward a copy
of Jermarico Carter’s videotaped interview with the Houston Police Department. The District Clerk
shall forward the copy within thirty days from the date of this order. Any extensions of time must
be requested by the trial court and obtained from this Court.
