Rule 73.7. New Evidence After Application Forwarded to Court of Criminal Appeals
If an Article 11.07 or 11.071 application has been forwarded to this Court, and a party wishes this Court to consider evidence not filed in the trial court, then the party must comply with the following procedures or the evidence will not be considered.
(a) If the Court of Criminal Appeals has received an Article 11.07 or 11.071 application from the district clerk of the county of conviction and has filed and set the application for submission, a party has two options:
(1) The party may file the evidence directly in the Court of Criminal Appeals with a motion for the Court of Criminal Appeals to consider the evidence. In this motion, the party should describe the evidence, explain its evidentiary value, and state why compelling and extraordinary circumstances exist for the Court of Criminal Appeals to consider the evidence directly. The moving party must immediately serve copies of the motion and the evidence the party seeks to file on the other party or parties in the case. If the Court of Criminal Appeals grants this motion, the Court will consider the evidence in its review of the application. The Court of Criminal Appeals will grant such a motion only if the Court concludes the circumstances are truly exceptional.
(2) The party may file in the Court of Criminal Appeals a motion to supplement the record in the trial court. In this motion, the party should describe the evidence the party intends to file, explain its evidentiary value, and state why the evidence could not have been filed in the trial court before the Court of Criminal Appeals filed and set the application for submission. The moving party must immediately serve copies of the motion and the evidence the party seeks to file on the other party or parties in the case. If the Court of Criminal Appeals grants the motion, the party may file the evidence with the district clerk of the county of conviction, and should attach a copy of the motion to supplement and the Court of Criminal Appeals’ order granting said motion. The district clerk shall immediately send a copy of the filed materials to the trial judge assigned to the habeas case and to the other party or parties in the case, and otherwise comply with the procedures set out in Rule 73.4(b) of these rules.
(b) If the Court of Criminal Appeals has received an Article 11.07 or 11.071 application from the district clerk of the county of conviction, but the Court has not yet filed and set the application for submission, the party must file in the Court of Criminal Appeals a motion to stay the proceedings pending the filing of the evidence in the trial court. In this motion, the party should describe the evidence the party intends to file and explain its evidentiary value. The moving party must immediately serve copies of the motion and the evidence the party seeks to file on the other party or parties in the case. If the Court of Criminal Appeals grants the motion, the Court will specify a designated time frame for the party to file the evidence with the district clerk of the county of conviction. The party should attach a copy of the motion to stay proceedings and the Court of Criminal Appeals’ order granting said motion to the evidentiary filing. The district clerk of the county of conviction shall immediately send a copy of the filed materials to the trial judge assigned to the habeas case and to the other party or parties in the case, and otherwise comply with the procedures set out in Rule 73.4(b) of these rules.
Comment to 2017 change: Rule 73.7 is added. This rule only applies after an Article 11.07 or 11.071 application has been forwarded to the Court of Criminal Appeals. If an Article 11.07 or 11.071 application is pending in the trial court and has not been forwarded to the Court of Criminal Appeals, a party may file additional evidentiary materials with the district clerk of the county of conviction without filing any special motion in the Court of Criminal Appeals or the trial court. But the district clerk of the county of conviction still must immediately send a copy of the filed materials to the trial judge assigned to the habeas case and to the other party or parties in the case, and otherwise comply with the procedures set out in Rule 73.4(b) of these rules.

The Department of Family and Protective Services filed an updated chart regarding 40 TAC, Chapter 745, Licensing, §745.651 of this title (relating to What types of criminal convictions may affect a person's ability to be present at an operation?). The charts were published in the January 20, 2017, issue of the Texas Register in the "In Addition" section. The following text was inadvertently omitted by the agency, along with the charts.
Section 745.651 of this title (relating to What types of criminal convictions may affect a person's ability to be present at an operation?) states that the three charts listed in subsection (a) of the section will be updated annually and published every January in the Texas Register as an "In Addition" document. The three charts are entitled: (1) Licensed or Certified Child Care Operations: Criminal History Requirements; (2) Foster or Adoptive Placements: Criminal History Requirements; and (3) Registered Child Care Homes and Listed Family Homes: Criminal History Requirements. Each chart has three parts to it: an introduction that explains the types of operations each chart covers, that defines certain terms used in the chart, and that clarifies certain assumptions; a Table of Contents; and the actual chart.
There have been changes made to each chart, which include: (1) adding notation to the Licensed or Certified Child Care Operations: Criminal History Requirements and Registered Child Care Homes and Listed Family Homes: Criminal History Requirements charts to reflect action required for certain offenses due to the implementation of federal Child Care Development Block Grant legislation (42 USC 9858f.548H); (2) adding notation to all three charts to indicate when action is still required if certain felony offenses are reduced to a misdemeanor conviction as a result of TPC 12.44(b), but the criminal activity may still indicate risk; and (3) updated Risk Evaluation requirements for certain offenses due to the severity of the crimes.

Rescind Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Lone Star Rail Project in Central Texas
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), and the Lone Star Rail District (LSRD) published a Notice of Intent in the Texas Register on October 17, 2014 (39 TexReg 8305) and a revised Notice of Intent on December 26, 2014 (39 TexReg 10556) to prepare an EIS for the proposed project to construct and operate the Lone Star Rail Project, a regional passenger rail service system connecting the greater Austin and San Antonio metropolitan areas. A Notice of Intent was also published in the Federal Register on October 6, 2014 (79 Fed. Reg. 60232). The proposed EIS was to evaluate the reasonable corridor alternatives.
The LSRD conducted numerous studies and conducted public meetings to gather input from the public and other stakeholders to consider in the development of the Draft EIS (DEIS). In October 2016, TxDOT requested that preparation of the DEIS be stopped and the Notice of Intent be rescinded. In January 2017, TxDOT provided information to FHWA supporting its request to rescind the Notice of Intent. FHWA published its Notice to Rescind Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS for the Lone Star Rail Project in the Federal Register on January 24, 2017 (82 Fed. Reg. 8255).
The request is based on a number of issues. First, Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) cancelled the UPRR/LSRD agreement for the possible use of UPRR’s MoPac corridor (the locally preferred alternative), rendering the alternative of using the UPRR right of way nonviable. This action caused a cascade of additional actions by other entities, including the removal of the project from the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (CAMPO) metropolitan transportation plan (MTP) and an ongoing effort to remove the project from the Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (AAMPO) MTP. Pursuant to current regulations (23 C.F.R. Part 450), the project could not advance to a NEPA decision without being in both MPOs’ MTPs. Further, TxDOT analyzed the remaining initially reasonable alternatives and determined that:
• The use of the IH 35 corridor would not be financially feasible due to ROW constraints and ongoing IH 35 improvements.
• The use of the SH 130 corridor per the LSRD 2008 fatal flaw analysis concluded the corridor would not support a commuter rail line, and ridership and connectivity would make the corridor nonviable.
• Other alternative or hybrid combinations such as the IH 35 and UPRR corridors lack viability.
Further, with an estimated cost of between $2 to $3 billion, funding anticipated by LSRD, such as the State’s Rail Relocation and Investment Fund, Federal Rail Administration grants, and private investment have not been capitalized or funded at levels necessary to complete the project.
Due to the issues described above, further development of the DEIS is not warranted at this time. As a result, the above-mentioned original Notice of Intent and the revised Notice of Intent are rescinded.
FHWA and TxDOT agree that the information gathered during the LSRD EIS project can be used in future efforts to determine viable transportation options for the Austin-San Antonio corridor.
