    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas, En Banc.
    Sept. 30, 1998.

   DISSENTING OPINION TO DENIAL OF APPLICANT’S MOTION FOR REHEARING

BAIRD, Judge,

dissenting.

For the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion on original submission, I believe the instant motion for rehearing should be granted. Additionally, I would grant rehearing to determine if Tex.Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.08 is the. appropriate vehicle to determine whether applicant’s allegation that his constitutional right to a speedy trial has been violated. Because the majority fails to do so, I dissent.
