IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
                          OF TEXAS
                                        NO. WR-92,569-01

                       EX PARTE CURT DANIEL CROWDER, Applicant

                  ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
                  CAUSE NO. 1509559-A IN THE 209TH DISTRICT COURT
                              FROM HARRIS COUNTY

         Per curiam.

                                             ORDER

         Applicant was convicted of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and

sentenced to twenty-five years’ imprisonment. The First Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction.

Crowder v. State, No. 01-16-00511-CR (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Jul. 18, 2017) (not

designated for publication). Applicant filed this application for a writ of habeas corpus in the county

of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art.

11.07.

         On August 17, 2018, the trial court entered an order designating issues. The district clerk

properly forwarded this application to this Court under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure

73.4(b)(5). However, the application was forwarded before the trial court made findings of fact and
conclusions of law. We remand this application to the trial court to complete its evidentiary

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 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 this Court.
