. E,x PARTE § THE couRT oF cRIMINAL APPEALs
HERSHEL FRANks, v § AusTIN, TExAs '

Applicant
l APPLICANT'S RESPQNSE TO THE STATE'S 0RIGINAL ANSHER
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

COHES NOH, HERSHEL FRANKS, Applicant herein and in support of this motion

will show this Honorable Court the following:
I.

Applicant present claims are based upon a factual predict that have not
been previously available. Applicant hasn now provided documentation verifying
that both the factual and legal basis of these claims was unavailable. On
0ctober 6, 2014 applicant wrote to the Harris County District Clerk: Chris
Daniel seeking two copies of two different indictments. See attached Ex. A. On
11-11-14 upon receipt from the District Clerk (a copy is now attached as Ex. B)
- applicant was totally unprepared to discover that the Grand Jury returned a "NO
BILL." Applicant quickly prepared and submitted his present 11.07.

Applicant previously had no way of knowing that the Grand Jury issued a "NO
BILL" and subsequentlyl the District Attorney forged an indictment to bring
applicant to trial. Applicant in his widest dreams did not even imagine this
documentation existed nor that the District Attorney engage in such illegal
conduct just to convict applicant, Therefore, it was impossible for applicant to
have previously presented his present claims. Because the factual and legal
basis were unavailable. See TEX.CODE OF CRIM. PROC. ANN art. 11.07 §4(a)(1):

"The current claims and issues have not been and could not have been
presented previously in an original application or in a previously

considered application filed under this article because the factual §§
legal basis for the clain\ was unavailable on the date the application

filed the previous application."

Because applicant has provided specific facts establishing that the "NO

`BILL"` was previously unavailable which forms both the factual and legal basis of
the claims in this 11.07 supra. Therefore, the claims in this 11.07 supra are
exempt from being dismissed due to the second successive writ. 11.07 §4 a)(l).
HHEREFORE, FREHISES CONSIDERED, Applicant prays that this Honorable court
will overruled the recommendations of the D.A. and reach the merits of each
claim applicant has _presented in his 11.07 supra, and grant him any other or

additional relied is justly entitled to, it is so prayed.

Respectfully submitted, m
