 motion         for     rehearing/reinstatement                       asking     the    Texas Court of

 Criminal            Appeals     to     reconsider              its       dismissal     of the pro se

 application            for writ of habeas corpus and with respect                            thereto,

 will show the following:

                                            A.     INTRODUCTION

        1..          Applicant        filed        his     pro       se     application for writ of

 habeas         corpus        seeking       relief         from       the      judgment in the 212Th

 Judicial             District        Court        of    Galveston           County, Texas in cause
 numbers        ll-CR-1177,         ll-CR-1178,          and       ll-CR-1179.

        2.           On February        10,      2015,     the trial court entered an order

 with       a       general     denial        of     all        relief sought and the same was

                                                   Page       1,
forwarded           to     this       court           on or about the 13th day of February,

2015.

        3.         On     March       4,       2015    this       Court      dismissed      without written

order        the        application for writ of habeas corpus for a rule 73.1

Texas        Rules        of     Appellate             Procedure             procedural       violation for

exceeding the 50-page limit of a non-computer generated memorandum

of law in support of the application.

                                     B.    ARGUMENT          £   AUTHORITIES

        4.         The     Court of Criminal Appeals should grant a rehearing
and     reinstate              the    application                for        writ    of habeas corpus for

an     adequate          review           of     the     unconstitutional                claims presented
therein.

        5.         Dismissal          of the application for writ of habeas corpus
for non-compliance with rule 73.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure (TRAP) is                   not       the      appropriate               method    in accordance
with     handling          a pro se application when the trial court refused

to     rule    on        the         pro se filed                Motion To Exceed the Page Limit
as     indicated          by     the        transcript presented to this Court..                       The
Applicant          cannot        force the trial court to rule on filed motions
before it.          The trial              court        does          not    have     the    discretion to
refuse to rule. In re Shredder Co., 225 S.W.3d 676, 679 (Tex.App.-
El paso 2006, orig. proceeding.).

       6.      Applicant             complied           with          all     requirements       by filing
the appropriate motions with the convicting                                        court.    Rule 73.1(d).
The    trial        court        refused           to    rule and prevented Applicant from
correcting          the        page limit requirement prior to the clerk filing
the   same with this Court.

                                                      Page       2.
        7.         In        the     two       filed        Motions         requesting          to exceed the

page     limits              (See trnscript pgs.. 386, 393) and established "good

cause"        to        exceed           the     page       limit.      However,          the court refused

to rule on any filings.                        Id.       Shredder. -

        8.         A     total           miscarriage             of justice is established in the

unconstitutional                    conviction             of     applicant which is clearly pre

sented        in        the        application.                 Coleman v. Thompson,              501 U.S. 722

(1991);        Murray v. Carrier, 477 U.S. 478                               (1986).       The trial court

has     refused              to     correct          a     clear      error, of law and process and

the     same           has        been     presented             to this Court of which Applicant

is      respectfully                 requesting             to be reinstated and ruling on the
merits be given.

                                                     C.    PRAYER.

        9.         Wherefore,              for       these        reasons     stated in this motion,

Applicant           respectfully                 asks           the   Court of Criminal Appeals to
grant        this       motion           and     reinstate            the    Application for writ of
habeas corpus and issue a ruling on the merits.

                                                                        Respectfully submitted,
