IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-69,724-02

EX PARTE RAMON HERNANDEZ

ON APPLICATION FOR POST-CONVICTION WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
FROM CAUSE NO. 2002CR1613-W2 IN THE 175TH DISTRICT COURT
BEXAR COUNTY

Per Curiam.  Hervey, J., not participating.

O R D E R

	This is a subsequent application for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to the
provisions of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.071, § 5.
	In October 2002, a jury found applicant guilty of the offense of capital murder.  The
jury answered the special issues submitted pursuant to Texas Code of Criminal Procedure
Article 37.071, and the trial court, accordingly, set applicant's punishment at death.  This
Court affirmed applicant's conviction and sentence on direct appeal.  Hernandez v. State, No.
AP-74,451 (Tex. Crim. App. Mar. 23, 2005)(not designated for publication).  Applicant filed
his initial post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus in the convicting court on
October 6, 2004.  This Court denied applicant relief.  Ex parte Hernandez, No. WR-69,724-01 (Tex. Crim. App. Sept. 10, 2008)(not designated for publication).  This, applicant's first
subsequent application, was filed in the trial court on November 14, 2012. 
	In his application, applicant appears to raise a single claim in which he essentially
argues that his appellate attorney and initial habeas attorney were ineffective in their
representation of him.  However, what applicant claims is "new evidence" is not, in fact,
new.  Applicant has failed to meet the dictates of Article 11.071, § 5.  Accordingly, we
dismiss the application as an abuse of the writ without considering the merits of the claims. 
 	IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 14th DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2012.
