P R O C E E D I N G S 

THE COURT: This is Cause Number

04-06-11756, the State of Texas vs. Pedro Reyes Trejo.

Mr. Trejo, Mr. James Rivera is going to

assist in the interpretation of this particular matter,

okay? Mr. Trejo, you had filed an appeal earlier based

upon a ruling of this Court and the 14th Court of Appeals

has abated or held your appeal and ordered me to hold a

hearing and ordered you to be present at that hearing,

and that's why we've brought you in today. Do you

understand that, sir?

MR. TREJO: Yes.

THE COURT: And I am required to find out

if you desire to continue with your appeal. So do you

wish to continue with your appeal?

MR. TREJO: Yes.

THE COURT: Very well --

MS. SELLERS: And, Judge, I don't know if

it needs to be more specific; but the appeal is as to the

Defendant's original motion for second DNA testing and no

other issues.

MR. RIVERA: He understands. He concurs

with what Ms. Sellers said.

THE COURT: Very well.

And, sir, do you have the ability to

employ your own attorney?

MR. TREJO: No.

THE COURT: Very well. I'm going to

appoint Mr. Calvin Garvie to handle the appeal, and I

believe this will be called a Chapter 64 appeal.

MR. GARVIE: That is correct, Judge.

THE COURT: And those matters that are

pertaining thereto. So the Court does specifically find

that Mr. Trejo does wish to pursue his appeal. The Court

does find specifically that Mr. Trejo is indigent, and

the Court does find that Mr. Trejo is entitled to

appointed counsel. The Court does find that a record of

these hearings will be made, and the court reporter will

be directed to file a record of these proceedings with

the Court of Appeals no later than December 25th of 2014.

Very well. With that, do you have any

questions?

MR. TREJO: No.

THE COURT: You will be held here a little

bit longer.

Chief, do we know when we're taking him

back? Today?

MR. HESTER: Today.

THE COURT: Very well. I would like to

allow Mr. Garvie a little bit of time to talk to Mr.

MR. HESTER: No problem.

THE COURT: I will prepare the proper

order and this will be provided to the 14th Court of

Appeals along with the record that was made today and you

will be allowed to pursue your appeal. Very well?

MR. TREJO: Thank you.

THE COURT: Thank you, Mr. Garvie. That

concludes this hearing.
