EX PARTE 

A. PLAINTIFF'S .:THIRD APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS 

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS: 

COMES NOW, WILLIE JAMES ATKINS, EX PARTE, Pro Se, in the above 

entitled and numbered cause, Ptirsuant to TEX.GOV'T Code Ann.§22.221-

(a)(b) and T.C.C.P. Art. 11.07, Sections 3(d) and 7~ and would 

respectfully show the following: 

B. RELATOR EX PARTE 

1.01 \-lillie James Atkins, TDCJ #1441701 is an offender incarcerated 

in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), filing this THIRD application 

pro se, who can be located at t1ark W. Stiles Unit - 3060 FM 3514 - Beaumont, 

Jefferson County, Texas 77705. 

C. CASE liiS'IDRY 

2.01 On March 1, 2010, Applicant filed an ORIGINAL APPLICATION FOR 

Article 11.07 Writ Of Habeas Corpus, No. 74,886-01. 

2.02 On April 6, 2010, convicting court decided that there were 
controverted, previously unresolved facts which are material to the legality of 

the applicant's confinement, and thereby signed "ORDER DESIGNATING ISSUES," 

appointing Catherine Bernhard as state's attorney to resolve the issues and prepare 

FINDINGS OF FACT and CONCLUSION OF LAW for the Court, pursuant to T.C.C.P. Art. 

11.07, Sec. 3(d). 

2.03 FURTHER STATING: The above named attorney does not represent the 

applicant. Applicant is not entitled to counsel at this time. No ORDERS were 

issued by the convicting court to provide applicant a copy of said findings. 

2.04 Applicant's Original Application for Article 11.07 Writ of Habeas 

Corpus No. 74,886-01 was denied on 11-10-2010 by Court of Criminal Appeals without 

written orders based on the findings of the trial court. 

III. 

C. ARTICLE 11.07 TEXAS OODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE 

3. 01 T. C. C. P. Article 11.07, Section 7, requires.: ''WHEN TilE ATIDRNEY 

FOR TilE STATE FILES AN ANSWER·_ MOTION, OR OiliER PLEADING ;.·RELATING TO AN APPLICATION 

FOR WRIT OF HABEAS COUPUS, TilE CLERK OF TilE COURT SHALL MAIL OR DELIVER TO TilE 

APPLICANT A COPY OF TilE ANSWER, MOTION; PLEADING or ORDER.'' 

3.02 . TO DATE, despite more than fifty (50) documented pages of requests 

to court clerks, officials, in addi~ion to pleadings with the court, I have never 

received a copy of the State's FINDINGS OF FACT/ ANSWER, Motion, or Pleading of 

the Attorney appointed by the State, thus the STATE'S ATTORNEY. (Please SEE APPENDIX). 

3.03 Had such documents been mailed or delivered to applicant by clerks, 

as required by statute, applicant would have received NOTICE from TDCJ Officials, 

requiring a RECORD of all such Legal C?rrespondence. .~o such record exists. 

3.04 As is clear from Applicant's "ORIGINAL" and "SECOND" .1\PPLICANTION 

FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS, (SEE APPENDIX), that IN TilE INTEREST OF JUSTICE,· Applicant 

seeks information concerning the activity and findings of Application For Writ 

of Habeas Corpus No. 74,886-01, attempting to prove claims of ACTUAL INNOCENCE. 

2. 
3.05 In any effort at FURTHER REDRESS THROUGH THE COURTS, the Applicant 

has the burden of rebutting the presumption of correctness by CLEAR and CONVINCING 

EVIDENCE of the convicting court's FINDINGS OF FACTS. (See Richardson -v- Quarterman, 

537 F3d 436, 472-73 (5th Cir.2008). A burden made impossible without a copy of 

the REQUESTED FINDINGS OF FACTS/ ANSvJER. 

3.06 Plaintiff contends that Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus 74,886-01 

•' 

was decided on an incomplete record submitted by State's Attorney. 

3.07 Evidence in COURT RECORDS will show, State's ORIGINAL and SUPPLEMENTAL 

RESPONSE to Application For Writ of Habeas Corpus No. 74,886-01, failed to INCLUDE 

THE DETAILS provided by Applicant in his SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF TO \\IRIT OF HABEAS 

CORPUS, WITH PRO SE EXHIBITS. 

3.08 Said OMITTED DETA~ and PRO SE EXHIBITS were necessary for the 

EFFECTIVE, FAIR, and MEANINGFUL RESOLUTION of Article 11.07 Application. (See 

Coppedge -v- United States, 369 U.S. 438 (1963). 

3.09 On December 29, 2014, Applicant received confirmation from Texas State 

Law Library that Applicant's SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF TO \-JRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS, with PROSE EXHIBITS are indeed on file, and could have been included in the State's Attorney 

AC~~OWLEDGEMENT/ O~IGINAL RESPONSE/ SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE at any time before file 

was foL-warded to the Court of Criminal Appeals for FINAL JUDGMENT. 

3.10 ·IN ADDITION, NEWLY DISCOVERED EVIDENCE FAVORABLE TO THE DEFENSE, 

WITHHELD BY THE STATE will further support my claims for ACTUAL INI'i!OCENCE, with 

a need for requested FINDINGS OF FACTS elevated to URGENT-!

Original Proceeding from the Criminal District Court No.6 

Dallas County, Texas 

Trial Court Cause No. W069-00566-X(A) 

MEMORANDUM OPINION 

Before Justices Lang-Miers, Evans, and Whitehill 

Opinion by Justice Evans 

APX-02 

Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus requesting that.the court order the district 

clerk, whom he identifies as Gary Fitzsimmons, 1 to provide relator with a copy ofthe trial court's 

findings of fact and conclusions of law with regard to his petition for writ of habeas corpus. The 

Court's power to issue a writ of mandamus is set forth in section 22.221 of the Texas 

Government Code. Because the Dallas County District Clerk is not a judge, the district clerk 

falls within the Court's mandamus jurisdiction only to the extent necessary to enforce our 

jurisdiction. See TEX. Gov'T CoDE ANN. § 22.22l(a), (b) (West 2004) (writ power). This Court 

does not have jurisdiction over post-conviction habeas corpus proceedings relating to felony 

convictions. See TEX. CODE CRIM. P. ANN. art. 11.05 (West) (by whom writ may be granted). 

Therefore, this Court has no jurisdiction regarding any action by the Dallas County District Clerk 

1 i\s of January I, 2015, Felicia Pitre is the district clerk. 
APX-03 

with regard to habeas corpus proceedings. Rather, any complaints about action or inaction on a 

matter related to a post-conviction petition for writ of habeas corpus must be brought by 

mandamus to the court of criminal appeals and not to this Court. in re McAfee, 53 S.W.3d 715, 

717 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding). 

Because we lack jurisdiction, we DISMISS the petition.

III. 

D. VIOlATION OF ARTICLE 11.07 OF 1HE TEXAS OODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE 

3.01 The Respondent violated Article 11.07 Section 7, of the Texas.Code of 

Criminal Procedure by failing to provide a copy of the FINDINGS OF FACT, ANSWER, 

MOTION, or PLEADING OF THE ATIORNEY APPOINTED BY THE STATE, thus the State' s Attorney. 

3.02 REP~ REQUESTS for correspondence relating to AfPLICATION FOR WRIT 

OF HABEAS CORPUS No. 74,886-01 have been made via CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT 

REQUESTED, to Respondan t ·and OTHER OFFICIALS, as evidenced by ATTACHED APPENDIX, with 

2. 
APX-11 

no reply received from Respondent. 

3.03 As is clear from Relator's ORIGINAL APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS, 

(See APPENDIX), that IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE, Relator seeks information 

concerning the activity of Application For Writ Of Habeas Corpus No. 74,886-01, 

attempting to prove claims of ACTUAL INNOCENCE. 

3.04 The Applicant has the burden of rebutting the presumption of correctness 

by CLEAR and CONVINCING EVIDENCE of the convicting court's FINDINGS OF FACTS. 

(See Richardson -v- Quarterman, 537 F3d 436, 472-73 (5th Cir.2008). A burden made 

impossible without a copy of the REQUESTED Findings Of Facts Answer. 

3.05 Plaintiff contends that Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus 74;886-01 was 

decided on an incomplete record su~itted by State's Attorney. 

3.06 Evidence in _COURT RECORDS will show, State's ORIGINAL and SUPPLEMENTAL 

RESPONSE/ANSWER to Application For Writ of Habeas Corpus No 74,886-01, failed 

to INCLUDE THE DETAILS provided by Applicant in his SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF TO WRIT 

OF HABEAS CORPUS, with PRO SE EXHIBITS. 

3.07 Said OMITTED D~ and PRO SE EXHIBITS were necessary for the 

EFFECTIVE, FAIR, and MEANINGFUL RESOLUTION of Article 11.07 Application. (See 

Coppedge -v- United States, 369 U.S. 438 (1963). 

3.08 Article 11.07, Section 3(d) clearly states: ·~CONVICTING COURT MAY 

APPOINT AN ATTORNEY 10 MAKE FINDINGS OF FACT;'' ~: -_ ~=---- ::.~_-_::_-~_-- ~ ~-'·- !! 

3.09 Article 11.07, Section 7 clearly states: " THE CLERK OF THE COURT 

SHALL MAIL OR DELIVER 1D THE APPLICANT A COPY OF THE ANSWER, MOTION, PLEADING, 

OR ORDER." 

3.10 Respondent has WHOLLY FAILED TO COMPLY WITH REPEATED REQUESTS, is acting 

to 

in bad faith, and has also failed provide any written response to CORRESPONDENCE, 

CERTIFIED MAIL RECEIPTS or FILE-MARK/ DATE-STAMP of Relator's copy of pleadings. 

3.11 FINALLY, on December 29, 2014, Relator received cost estimate from the 

Texas State Law Library for copies of WR-74,886-01 related documents of $ 129.49.
