       Applicant was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The Fifth

investigation and make findings of fact and conclusions of law.

       The trial court shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law within ninety days from

the date of this order. The trial court shall make a finding as to whether this application is barred

as subsequent under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure art. 11.07 §4. The trial court may make any

other findings and conclusions that it deems appropriate in response to Applicant’s claims. The

district clerk shall then immediately forward to this Court the trial court’s findings and conclusions

and the record developed on remand, including, among other things, affidavits, motions, objections,

proposed findings and conclusions, orders, and transcripts from hearings and depositions. See TEX .

R. APP. P. 73.4(b)(4). Any extensions of time must be requested by the trial court and obtained from
