Tens of thousands of farmers and ranchers depend on the health of rangelands and grasslands for their livelihoods. Rangelands encompass a wide variety of landscapes, including some grasslands, shrublands, wetlands, tundra, and deserts. Indigenous to every continent except Antarctica, grasslands’ vast expanse is dominated by grasses and non-woody plants. 

## Importance of Rangelands and Grasslands

Rangelands, primarily covered by natural vegetation, provide grazing and forage for livestock and wildlife. The fertile soil that characterizes many grasslands make the areas well suited to cultivating crops.

Rangeland and grassland ecosystems provide benefits vital to agriculture and the environment including:
                    - Land for farming
                    - Grazing and forage for livestock and native animals
                    - Watersheds  for rural and urban uses
                    - Habitat for plants, insects, and animals
                    - Water for sustainable landscapes
                    - Areas for recreational activities
                    - Potential renewable energy and mineral resources

## NIFA’s Impact

The condition of the nation’s rangelands and grasslands vary from highly disturbed to fully functioning, healthy ecosystems. NIFA seeks to conserve and improve the country’s grasslands and rangelands by:
                    - Supporting development of emerging multi-disciplinary rangeland science methodologies
                    - Researching the impact of invasive species  
                    - Supporting sustainable practices for agricultural use as well as mineral and fossil fuel extraction
                    - Investigating the use of grasses in bioenergy production
                    - Helping agricultural producers, rural landowners, and land managers make science-based land management decisions
                    - Developing sustainable practices for rangeland and grassland watersheds  
                    - Researching the effects of grazing land conservation practices

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NOS. WR-82,318-01 AND WR-82,318-02

EX PARTE BRANDON LEE ALLEN, Applicant

ON APPLICATIONS FOR WRITS OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NOS. C34887-CR AND C34888-CR

IN THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW FROM NAVARRO COUNTY

Per curiam.

O R D E R

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 these applications for writs of habeas corpus. Ex

parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant pleaded guilty to one charge

of aggravated assault of a public servant and one charge of retaliation, and was sentenced to six

years’ imprisonment for each charge, to run concurrently. He did not appeal his convictions. 

Applicant contends that his plea agreement was breached, and that his mental health issues

were not considered or addressed. Applicant has alleged facts that, if true, might entitle him to relief. 

In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. As we held in Ex parte Rodriguez, 334 S.W.2d
2

294, 294 (Tex. Crim. App. 1960), the trial court is the appropriate forum for findings of fact. The

trial court shall order trial counsel to respond to Applicant’s claims. Specifically, trial counsel shall

state whether Applicant was ever advised that the granting of shock probation in these cases (as

opposed to the opportunity to request shock probation) was part of the plea agreement in these cases. 

Trial counsel shall also state whether he was aware that Applicant was suffering from mental health

issues at the time he committed these offenses, and if so whether counsel requested that Applicant

be evaluated for sanity at the time of the offenses or competency to stand trial. The trial court may

use any means set out in TEX.CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 11.07, § 3(d). In the appropriate case, the trial

court may rely on its personal recollection. Id.

If the trial court elects to hold a hearing, it shall determine whether Applicant is indigent. 

If Applicant is indigent and wishes to be represented by counsel, the trial court shall appoint an

attorney to represent Applicant at the hearing. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 26.04. 

The trial court shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law in regard to Applicant’s

claims that his plea agreement was breached and that his mental health issues were not considered

or addressed prior to the plea. The trial court shall also make any other findings of fact and

conclusions of law that it deems relevant and appropriate to the disposition of Applicant’s claim for

habeas corpus relief.

This application will be held in abeyance until the trial court has resolved the fact issues. The

issues shall be resolved within 90 days of this order. A supplemental transcript containing all

affidavits and interrogatories or the transcription of the court reporter’s notes from any hearing or

deposition, along with the trial court’s supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall

be forwarded to this Court within 120 days of the date of this order. Any extensions of time shall
3

be obtained from this Court.

The Honorable Royce C. Johnston 

County Attorney 

Kenedy County 

P. 0, Box 1226 

Kingstille, Texas 78363 

Opinion No. H- 718 

Re: Local option status of a 

county which has never conducted a local option election. 

Dear Mr. Johnston: 

You have requested our opinion concerning the wet-dry status of a 

county which has never held a local option election. 

Article 16. section 20 of the Texas Constitution empowers the Legislature 

to provide for elections whereby the voters of various political subdivisions 

m=Y “determine . . . whether the sale of intoxicating liquors for beverage 

purposes shall be prohibited or legalized. . , . ” Article 666-23, Penal 

Axdiary Laws provides that all areas which are not “dry” pursuant to a 

local option election shall be “wet!‘. Thus neither the Constitution nor the 

statutory law would prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquor unless an area 

is “dry” pursuant to a local option election. It is well established that “no 

act or omission is a crime unless made so by the written law of the state.” 

16 Tex. Jur. 2d, Criminal Laws 5 1, and authorities cited therein. Accordingly, 

in our opinion the sale of intoxicating beverages is illegal only in an area 

which is “dry”pursuant to a local option election. Where there has been no 

such election the sale of intoxicating beverages is not illegal and the area 

involved is therefore “wet”. 

We are supported in our view by dicta from two Texas cases. In Sanders 

v. State, 157 S. W. 2d 910 (Tex. Grim. App. 1941), the court stated: 

. . . under the terms of Art, 666-23, Vernon’s 

Annotated Penal Code, all area of the state is 

‘wet, ’ except that which has been determined to 

be ‘dry. ’ Unless the proof shows that the area 

is ‘dry, ’ it is by law ‘wet. ’ 

p. 3079 
The Honorable Royce C. Johnston, page 2 

In Stell v. State, 496 S. W. 2d 623 (Tex. Grim. App. 19731, the court stated: 

Under the State Constitution. . . (Article XVI 5 20, 

as amended 1933, 1935). all of the State is ‘wet’ 

except those parts which have been declared ‘dry’ 

by local option elections. 

SUMMARY 

Where a political subdivision has never held a 

local option election, the area it encompasses is 

“wet”. 

Very truly yours, 

/ / Attorney General of Texas

by the district court. United States v. Bowens, No. 3:98-cr00110-REP-1 (E.D. Va. Apr. 17, 2015). We dispense with oral 

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
