REQUEST' FOR EVIDENTIARY HEAR`IN`G/

 

TO THE HONORABLE` JUDCES OF` TI'-IE!.v COURT OF" CRIMINAL"'APPEA]E.S: `

""Applicant}»an indigent“pro'se'litigant¢ submitted his application for wrir
of habeas corpus under the_orovisions of ArticlesVll.®? and 116073 V.A.C.C;P.“
Prior to filing of of writ, Applicant pursued and obtained DNA testing evidence
under Chapter 6¢1,"\/‘.1§.»(!‘C.P'H Applicant contends these DNA test results are
favorable and create a probability of innocence sufficient to undermine confie
dence in the outcome of the trial.. n

Applicant's habeas corpus writ and memorandum of lawi with attach*‘
ments, was filed Nov. 19i 2015, and assigned Cause No. 952802-E. The State does
not appear to have filed an "ANSWER", and the trial court does not appear to
have made any "FINDINGS OF FACT". The writ application'and'record was forwardedv
to the Court of Criminal Appeals and filed on Jan. 63~2015;;No. WR-6l,391+08.-

‘Applicant contends that this Court must accept as true the facts that Appli-
cant has alleged, in light of the State's failure to answer factual allegations.

Should this Court proceed without ordering an evidentiary hearing, Applicant
contends the State cannot argue at a later date that Applicant's alleged facts

l.

§

are not credible;

Applicant requests an evidentiray hearing to show he has fullfilled€his
obligation under Article llj07/ to provide a sufficient record that supports
his factual allegations with proof by a preponderance of the evidence. Ex
Parte.Chandler, 182 S.W;Sd 3502 353 (Tex.Crim.App.2005)#(citing Ex Parte Thomas,
906 s.w.2d 22, 24 (Tex.crim.App.lQ€)§).

Applicant would argue that in light of hisjcontentions¢_above, that'rem§bd
for an evidentiary hearing is required to determine whether the State court's
habeas factual findings, and/or Applicantfs sworn factual allegations with
supporting record, warrant a presumption of correctness.
