TO THE HONORABLE . COUR-T AND JUDGE THEREOF:

I. 

PROCEDURAL HISTORY 

Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, Defendant vas convicted and sentenced to 12 years cr:mfinement in the Texaa Depertment of criminal Justice. Direct 

appeal was vai ved as pet' · the tersu of the plea agreement. Thereafter 1 proceeo:. 

ing pro - ~ to hie atatus aa an indigent prisoner, Defendant sought postconviction ~-revi~ "of the j~_~nt of __ ~!ict~()ll __ ~-- ~~t-~c:e. chall~:- .... ~-- .. ··--•" .... 

ing that his plea of guilty vas entered based on trial counsel's ineffective 

aeaiatanee and vas thus involuntary or otherWise invalid. To the Defendant' e 

~ledge, the District court did not designate any iaeuea of fact to be 

resolved, did not order an evidentiary hearing be COI'Jducted and did not enter 

any fin<Ungs of t•ct 01: ~nd&tion pertaini119 to ditJpOBition of the application. Defendant received notice of the District ODurt•a order for· the clerk 

tC? ·forward the application and record to the COUrt of Criminal Appeele, and 

thereafter received notice from ·the Court of criad.nal Appeals of its receipt 

and filing • of the applicati~ (Bx parte Sexton, ~1. No. wa-79,966-06). 

on February 12, 2014 the court of Criminal Appeals denied the apPlication 

without witten order•

in *ieb the publ-ic arid private interests at stake are such that the adlainistration of justice aay be best served by the appointment. ~~ OOV''l' OODE

510, 515-16 ('!u.Crim.App. 2004) (hebeae corpus proceedings, including thoae 

seeking relief fraa _confiaemant in criminal justice ayatem, generally~ 

aidered to be of a civil nature). 

Recent deciaioae by the. United sta~ ~- ~~ !~i~te that the 

interests of justice warront the appointment of couneel in this case by. the 

District COUrt for the purpoee of repnsenting the Defendant in meaningfully 

seeking collateral . r:eviev and adjudication m the mrit.s of hi& . substantial 

claim of ineffective asaiatance of trial counsel. 

In Martinez v. !yan, 566 u.s. 1 (2012), the SUpreD~B Court held that a 

0 procedur&l bar" by ~fault would not pcevent a federal .court fEGm hearing 

' 

a substantial Claim of in&ffec:tive uaietanee of trial counsel if, in the 

State's initial-review collateral Proceeding, there vas no ~ or. counsel 

in that proceeding vas ineffective. !he Court uplained that, because initialreview in a collateral proceading. of a pri~'s ineffective aaaiatance 

2 
of trial counsel claim . is in many vaya the equivalent of his direct appeal · 

u to that claim, if · the State dou not appoint an attorney to assist the 

indigent pr:isoner in the initial-review collateral proceeding, he is denied 

fair proceea. and the opportunity to CIOlllply vith the State's procedures and 

obtain an adjudication on the merits of hia claim, similar to inatances in 

which no attorney ia . appointed to pursue the direct appeal or in which tbe 

attorney appointed to puraue the direct appeal is ineffective. 

Subsequent to the Martinez dllciaion, the SUpreme COUrt decided a Texas 

cue similar to that of Martinez with the same raeulta. See Trevino v .. Thaler, . 

569 u.s. 1911 (2013). In Trevino~ the SUpreme COUrt c:oncluded that where, 

as . in 'l'uos, the state procedural framawodt, by reason of ita design. and 

operation, makea it highly unlikely in a typical case that a defendant will 

have a meaningful opportunity to raise a claim of ineffective assistance 

of trial couilsel Cl'l direct appeal, the Couc't 'e holding in· Martinez applies. 

See also Ibarra v. Stephen!, 723 F.lcS 599 (5th Cir. 2013). 

Additionally, in the wake of Martines and Trevino, the United Statee 

Department of JUstice baa adopted a policy c:benge diecontinuing the practica 

of enforcing any vai ver of a defendant • a dght to seek appellate review of. 

a aubatantial claim of ineffective aseistance of counsel when the defendant 

has entered . a plea of guilty, including those c:asea in which the guilty plea 

!a entered in u~e for a puniehamt reccJillmllndation by the proaecutor. 

Such policy change is in accord with the function of Martinez _and 'fntvino 

to ermure tbet judgements curtailing tbe rights and libe~ty of defenckulta 

c:haJ:9ed vith coa&ittiRJt·ccimaa ·have-been enter:ed in. accord· with tboee perSGilS' 

fundamentally important rights to effective npresentation of couilael and 

due prcceas. 

III. 

SUBSTANTIAL CLAIM OF INEPFECTIVB ASSISTANCS OF TRIAL 

COUNSSL EXTANT IN THIS CASB . . 

A substantial claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel exists 

in this <:aset in th&t Defendant's decision to plead guilty r&ther than go 

to trial was made under durese .stemming from the following errore/omissions 

by trial couneel: 

3 
' ' 

• neither obtained dicovery packet nor interviewed Defendant until day 

Defendant WtS acheduled to appear in court post-arraignment (approximately 

5 mcmtha had elapsed alnce trial ~1 uaumed reaponsibility for the 

defense); · 

• failed to mount pretrial cballenge to arresting officer • s probable cause 

providing buia for . Defendant. 8 arrest •an(l subsequent. blood-dr~v ... police 

video -showed the Defendant appearing quite aober and in conb:'Ol of hill 

faculties, and shoved that arresting officer coupi~y took Defendant 

off-camera to conduct field sobriety teat which allegedly provi&a<J probable cause:. 

• failed to challenge or verify, thi'OUgh independent testing authorized 

by statute, accuracy and validity of blooct-alcObol test .. naults allegedly 

showing. Defendant having had legally impermissible blood-alc:chol level, 

given pt"eaenee of police video sboving · Defendant appearing sober and 

· well in cOntrol of hi,s faculties and. given fact that documi:nt purportedly 

aaserting the Dafendant • a blocd-alcohol COI'lCentration level. at time of 

arrest to be .21 vaa not an official lab-9enerated analysis report., but 

rather, merely a one-sentence letter oampaaea on a letterhead; . 

• failure to mount a pretrial Fourth Amenament challenge to the warrantlesa 

seizure of thE~ Defend&nt • s bleed speci.IMn in absence of his expreu c:onHntf . . ·. 

• advising Defendant that challenge to probable c:ause or evi&mce against 

him could only be Ulllde at trial thus requiring Defendant to go to trial 

in .order to make any challenge to the evidence and an:est: 

• complete . failure to discuss with Defendant any type of trial strategy 

opposing the prosecution • e case other than advising Defendant that he 

had tvo alternatives: •accept a plea bargain or go to trial.,: and 

• upon the DefendaJlt. , informing trial ~1 during in-court appearance ·· 

that he wanted to go to trial rather than accept (!COffered plee bargain, 

trial c::ounael advised Defendcmt that if he did not acce,pt pltia bargair,a - offer bolt. . instead electe4 to 90 to trial, he VQ\Jld be facing mini1111.111 

punishlrlfHlt range of 2S years confinement if convicted. 

IV. · 

DEFENDANT NOT PROVIDED MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE 

SUnSTANTIAL CLAIM .OF INE~FBCTIVE ASSISTANCE CV COUNSEL 

Defendant's d!all11m9e to thii validity of nia Palo Pinto County conviction 

·and sentence, in his initial postc:onvicti~ collateral proceeding challenging 

the ·instant conviction falls squarely within the SUpreme Court •a decisions 

in Martinez and Trevino. Defendant did not have any assistance f~ a licensed 

end 8Y.ill&d attorney to flush out· the fatcts at. an tavidentiary h€1ering or· 

to develop the habeas record with evidence found outaide the record before 

4 
.. 

the Court ordered the cl.erk to certify the record end forvaECJ it to the court 

of Criminal Appeals. The District. COUrt and Q)urt of Criminal· Appeals • perfunctory hAndling an<i diepoaition denying the initial application evidences 

the Defendant~s pro. ae miaappr:ehenaion of substantive habeas COrpu& lav and 

failure to oaq;dy ·with state proc:edur:&l requisites in attmepting to seek 

meaningful . review · of the judgement - errors which &n uperienc:eCJ and skilled 

attorney vould not have made .. 

v. 

DEFENDANT IS INDIGENT 

Defendant continues· . to be indigent and unable to retain the services 

of a licensed attom&Y. to represent him in pursuit of appellate review of 

his c:laim of .ineffective uaiatance of trial counsel (see attached Declaration 

of Inability to Pay O.ta and supporting Inmte Tnast. f'un4 printout). 

VI • 

ABOSB OF WRIT 

ror the reasons aet forth in Martiliez end Trevino, supra, . the •etgnifie&nt 

unfaimesa" of the Court of Crialnal Appeals• denial of Defendant's claim 

of ineffective aaaiatance of trial counsel, raised in the initial-review 

collateral proceecUng .without tbe aid of a akilled attorney due to hia status 

as an indigent p:isoner, ahould not serve aa a reliably valid 11disposition 

on the marit&0 GUCh tbat pneentment of that fundamentally iq»ttant claim 

in a subsequent application for writ of habeas corpus vi tb the aid of appointed counsel would be ··barred by section 4 of Articl.e 11.07, Code of Criminal 

Procedure. 

VII. 

GUIDANCE OF OUR FOREFATHERS 

Defendant respectfully expresaea his ~t desire for the District 

COUrt. to remain mindful that t.be peramount foCus in this partic:ular judicial 

matter •ie not the (Defendant's] innoc:enc:e or guilt, but solely whether [his) 

constitutional rights have been pnaened.• Accord Moon v. Dempsey, 261 u.s.

VIII. 

CONCLUSION 

FOl' the foregoing reasons, . the District. Court ahoul4 appoint counsel 

for the specific purpose of investigating D&fendant•e claim of ineffective 

assistance of trial counsel, developing the record u necessary, and preparing 

that claim in a fom adequate to ensure meaningful appellate review of that 

claim on the merits.
