                  APPLICANT'S   SUGGESTION         FOR   RECONSIDERATION

     OF COURT'S DISMISSAL OF APPLICANT'S WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS,

      PURSUANT TO C.C.P.        ART.    11.07/      ON THE COURT'S OWN MOTION

TO   THE   HONORABLE   JUDGES   OF    SAID    COURT:

     NOW COMES,     CHRISONDATH BADALL,            Applicant,    proceeding pro se

in the above styled and numbered cause, respectfully makes his

suggestion for reconsideration of the Court's DISMISSAL of

Applicant's Writ of Habeas Corpus,                  pursuant to V.A.C.C.P. ART.

11.07, on the Court's own motion.                  In support thereof, Applicant,

hereinafter referred to as,             "BADALL," would show the Court the

following:

                                              I.

     Applicant's request for this Court's reconsideration of its

DISMISSAL of Applicant's art. 11.07, Writ of Habeas Corpus, on

its own motion is authorized by T.R.A.P. Rule 79.2(d).

                                              1.
                                II.

  Applicant believes the Court's reconsideration of its DISMISSAL
of Applicant's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus (11.07)
is required in the interest of justice for the following reason:

   THE CLERK OF THE CONVICTING COURT AND/OR COURT OF CRIMINAL

APPEALS UNREASONABLY DISMISSED APPLICANT'S APPLICATION FOR WRIT

OF HABEAS CORPUS (11.07), IN VIOLATION OF APPLICANT'S DUE PROCESS

RIGHT, PURSUANT TO THE 14TH AMENDMENT TO THE U.S.    CONSTITUTION,

ARTICLE I, §12, OF THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION, TEXAS CODE OF CRIMINAL

PROCEDURE, ART. 1.08, 11.05, 11.07, AND T.R.A.P. RULE 73.1 &j2.

                           RELEVANT   FACTS

   The record reveals that on August 13, 2012,    the Court of

Criminal Appeals received Mr. Badall's Application for Writ of

Habeas Corpus (11.07) in Cause No. WR-78,218-01,    but DISMISSED

the Application for non-compliance on August 22, 2012. See:

(WR-78,218-01)

   At no time prior to the Court's dismissal of Badall's Application
was he notified by either, the Clerk of the convicting Court
or the Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals of any defect(s)

within the Application, as required by T.R.A.P. Rule 73.2, nor

was Mr. Badall, or the convicting Court notified of the Court's

dismissal of the Application on August 22, 2012. See: (EXHIBIT-A)

   Due to reason,   the convicting court was not advised of the

dismissal of Badall's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus,

and believed it was still active,     the convicting court conducted

                                 2.
a "LIVE" evidentiary hearing on June 11, 2013, pursuant to

V.A.C.C.P. art. 11.07, §3(d). The convicting court (75th Judicial

District Court of Liberty, County, Texas), in addition, appointed

Mr. Badall an attorney specifically for the evidentiary hearing

process. See:   (WR-78,218-01)

   After the evidentiary hearing was conducted, counsel for the

state and counsel for Mr.      Badall submitted their Proposed Findings

of Fact and Conclusions of Law for the trial Judge's consideration.

  On September 23,    2013,    the Court of Criminal Appeals received

the Supplemental Clerk's Record from the convicting court, which

included the record of the evidentiary hearing and the Findings

of Fact and Conclusions of Law rendered by the trial judge.

  On February 24,    2015, Mr.    Badall sent a letter to the Court

of Criminal Appeals requesting a status report on his pending

Application for writ of habeas corpus. After no response,      Mr.

Badall sent another letter to the Court of Criminal Appeals,

along with a letter to his appointed attorney, requesting a

status report. See: (EXHIBIT-B)

  On March 27,   2015,   Mr.   Badall's appointed attorney responded

by informing Badall that his Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus

was DISMISSED for NON-COMPLIANCE almost (2) years prior to his

status report request, on August 22, 2012. See: (EXHIBIT-B)

   Mr. Badall, although still not knowing the reason(s) for the

dismissal of his Application,      immediately prepared and submitted

another Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus, pursuant to

                                     3.
V.A.C.C.P.   art.   11.07.

   On June 19, 2015, Mr. Badall's Application for Writ of Habeas

Corpus was again DISMISSED for NON-COMPLIANCE pursuant to T.R.A.P.

Rule 73.2. See:     (EXHIBIT-C)

   As before, Mr.     Badall was not notified by either the Clerk

of the convicting Court,     or the Clerk of the Court of Criminal

Appeals regarding what defects, if any, needed corrected for

compliance with Rule 73. See: (EXHIBIT-A)

                        ARGUMENT    AND   AUTHORITIES

   An application filed under Article 11.07, Texas Code of Criminal

Procedure,   must be filed on the prescribed 11.07 form application.

See: EX PARTE BLACKLOCK, 191 S.W.3d 718,         719 (Tex.Crim.App.   2006)

(citing T.R.A.P. Rule 73.1(a)).

   Pursuant to T.R.A.P. Rule 73.1(c), the person making the

application must provide all information required by the form.

The application must specify all grounds for relief, and must

set forth in SUMMARY :fashion the FACTS supporting each ground.

The application must not cite cases or other law.         Legal citations

and arguments may be made in a separate memorandum. The application

must be typewritten or handwritten legibly.

   As the record reveals,     Mr.   Badall sufficiently complied to

each and every requirement set forth in Rule 73.1(a) through

(d), in-BOTH applications submitted by Badall. See:.(WR-78^218-01).
      Pursuant to T.R.A.P. Rule 73.2,             the Clerk of the convicting

court will not file an application that is not on the form prescribed

by the Court of Criminal Appeals,                and will RETURN THE APPLICATION

TO THE PERSON WHO FILED IT,             with a copy of the original form.

      The Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals may,               without filing

an application that does not comply with this rule,                     return it

to the Clerk of the convicting court,               with a notation of the

defect,       AND THE CLERK OF THE CONVICTING COURT WILL            RETURN THE

APPLICATION TO THE PERSON WHO FILED IT,                  with a copy of the official

form.

      As stated previously, Mr.          Badall was never notified by either

Court Clerk that his application had been dismissed on August

22,    2012,    nor was informed for what reason(s)            it was dismissed,

until he       requested a status report on February 24,            2015,    and

March 13,       2015,   etc.   See:   (EXHIBIT-A,   B)

      A question has to be raised as to,             if Mr.   Badall or the trial

judge knew the Application was dismissed on August 22,                     2012,

why then would the trial judge conduct a "live" evidentiary hearing

and enter his Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law on the

same Application on June 11,             2013?

      Also,    another question must be raised,           if the Clerk of the

convicting Court fulfilled her duties mandated by art. 11.07,

§3(b), and forwarded Badall's Application to the District Attorney,

etc.,    then how did the Court of Criminal Appeals DISMISS Badall's

Application BEFORE any Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law

were provided to them pursuant to art.               11.07,    §3(d)?

                                           5.
      Mr.    Badall asserts that the record clearly reveals that his

Application filed on April 18, 2012, and/or the Application

dismissed on June 19,          2015,    were in compliance with T.R.A.P.

Rule 73.1(a)-(d), whereas,             the information provided on the application

were typewritten,       the FACTS were in summary form,          and the applications

and memorandums were within the required page limitation.                See:

(WR-78,218-01)

      Article I, §12 of the Texas Constitution states:             "The writ

of habeas corpus is a writ of right and shall never be suspended."

See also: EX PARTE THOMPSON,             273 S.W.3d 177,    181 (Tex.Crim.App.

2008)(The legislature shall enact laws to render the remedy

speedy and effectual) .

      Similarly,    article 1.08, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure,

provides that       "the writ of habeas corpus is a writ.of right and

shall       never be suspended."

      In addition,    the Court of Criminal Appeals,          the District

Courts,       the County Courts,       or any Judge of said Courts,    have

power to issue the writ of habeas corpus;             and it is their duty,

UPON PROPER MOTION,          to grant the writ under the rules prescribed

by law. See: TEX.CODE CRIM.PROC.             ART. 11.05.

      By the Court(s) DISMISSAL of Badall's application(s) for

writ of habeas corpus,.such unreasonable action has placed an

unnecessary burden, delay,             and expense on Mr.   Badall from having

to reproduce copies of exhibits and refiling the application

and    memorandum,    etc.

                                            6.
                                        PRAYER

   For the above and foregoing reasons, Mr. Badall asks this
Court to reconsider its dismissal of his Application(s) for
Writ of Habeas Corpus on the court's own motion, and reinstate
Mr. Badall's Application/memorandum for review of its merits.
Executed on this              \|PVV     day of OcAVspg-vT                2015.

   I, CHRISONDATH BADALL, being of sound mind, and over the age of

and under the penalty of perjury:

   I filed my first Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant
to C.C.P. art.    11.07,       on April 18,   2012. On June 11,   2013,   the

pursuant to trial cause no. CR-24,834-A, and Writ No. WR-78,218-01.

   At no time prior to this evidentiary hearing was I informed
that my application for writ of habeas corpus had been DISMISSED
for NON-COMPLIANCE on August 22, 2012.            I did not learn of this
fact until after requesting a status report from my appointed
attorney, on March 27, 2015. See: (EXHIBIT-B)

   I immediately refiled my application for writ of habeas corpus,
but it was,    AGAIN,    dismissed for non-compliance on June 19,          2015,
unbeknownth to me until obtaining another status report by way
of the inter-net.       See:    (EXHIBIT-C)

Re:    Writ No.     WR-78,218-01;      Liberty County

Mr.    Badall:

        Records from the Court of Criminal Appeals               (CCA)   reflect:

                 On 8-13-12 the CCA received an Application for Writ of
        Habeas Corpus from you; assigned caset WR-78,218-01.

             On 8-22-12 the CCA DISMISSED your Application for Writ
        of Habeas Corpus for NON-COMPLIANCE.

                 On 9-23-13 the CCA received the SUPPLEMENTAL CLERK'S
        RECORD from the Liberty County District Clerk's Office,
        which included the record from our hearinqs,               and the
        FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW.                The CCA filed
        the SUPPLEMENTAL CLERK'S RECORD,               but took no action because
        case # WR-78,218-01 had been previously DISMISSED for
        NON-COMPLIANCE.

             On 2-24-15 and 3-13-15 you corresponded with the CCA
        requesting a status update.  On both occasions the CCA
        advised you that case # WR-78,218-01 had been previously
        DISMISSED        for NON-COMPLIANCE.

      ink you,

   THE CLERK OF THE CONVICTING COURT AND/OR COURT OF CRIMINAL

APPEALS UNREASONABLY DISMISSED APPLICANT'S APPLICATION FOR WRIT

OF HABEAS CORPUS (11.07), IN VIOLATION OF APPLICANT'S DUE PROCESS

RIGHT, PURSUANT TO THE 14TH AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION,

ARTICLE I, §12, OF THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION, TEXAS CODS -OF CRIMINAL
PROCEDURE, ART. 1.08, 11.05, 11.07, AND T.R.A.P. RULE 73.1 &;2.

                           RELEVANT   FACTS

   The record reveals that on August 13, 2012, the Court of

Criminal Appeals received Mr. Badall's Application for Writ of
Habeas Corpus (11.07) in Cause No. WR-78,218-01, but DISMISSED

the Application for non-compliance on August 22, 2012. See:

(WR-78,218-01)

   At no time prior to the Court's dismissal of Badall's Application
was he notified by either, the Clerk of the convicting Court

or the Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals of any defect(s)

within the Application, as required by T.R.A.P. Rule 73.2, nor

was Mr. Badall, or the convicting Court notified of the Court's

dismissal of the Application on August 22, 2012. See: (EXHIBIT-A)

   Due to reason,   the convicting court was not advised of the

dismissal of Badall's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus,

and believed it was still active,     the convicting court conducted

                                 2.
a "LIVE" evidentiary hearing on June 11, 2013, pursuant to
V.A.C.C.P. art. 11.07, §3(d). The convicting court (75th Judicial
District Court of Liberty, County, Texas), in addition, appointed
Mr. Badall an attorney specifically for the evidentiary hearing
process. See: (WR-78,218-01)

   After the evidentiary hearing was conducted, counsel for the
state and counsel for Mr. Badall submitted their Proposed Findings

of Fact and Conclusions of Law for the trial Judge's consideration.

   On September 23, 2013, the Court of Criminal Appeals received

the Supplemental Clerk's Record from the convicting court, which
included the record of the evidentiary hearing and the Findings

of Fact and Conclusions of Law rendered by the trial judge.

   On February 24, 2015, Mr. Badall sent a letter to the Court

of Criminal Appeals requesting a status report on his pending

Application for writ of habeas corpus. After no response, Mr.

Badall sent another letter to the Court of Criminal Appeals,

along with a letter to his appointed attorney, requesting a

status report. See: (EXHIBIT-B)

   On March 27,   2015,   Mr.   Badall's appointed attorney responded

by informing Badall that his Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus

was DISMISSED for NON-COMPLIANCE almost (2) years prior to his

status report request, on August 22, 2012. See: (EXHIBIT-B)

   Mr. Badall, although still not knowing the reason(s) for the

dismissal of his Application,       immediately prepared and submitted

another Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus, pursuant to

                                      3.
V.A.C.C.P.   art.    11.07.

   On June 19,      2015,   Mr.   Badall's Application for Writ of Habeas

Corpus was again DISMISSED for NON-COMPLIANCE pursuant to T.R.A.P.

Rule 73.2.   See:    (EXHIBIT-C)

   As before, Mr. Badall was not notified by either the Clerk

of the convicting Court, or the Clerk of the Court of Criminal

Appeals regarding what defects, if any, needed corrected for

compliance with Rule 73.          See:   (EXHIBIT-A)

                            ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITIES

   An application filed under Article 11.07,           Texas Code of Criminal

Procedure, must be filed on the prescribed 11.07 form application.

See: EX PARTE BLACKLOCK, 191 S.W.Sd 718, 719 (Tex.Crim.App. 2006)

(citing T.R.A.P. Rule 73.1(a)).

   Pursuant to T.R.A.P. Rule 73.1(c), the person making the

application must provide all information required by the form.
The application must specify all grounds for relief, and must

set forth in SUMMARY fashion the FACTS supporting each" ground.
The application must not cite cases or other law. Legal citations

and arguments may be made in a separate memorandum. The application
must be typewritten or handwritten legibly.

   As the record reveals, Mr. Badall sufficiently complied to
each and every requirement set forth in Rule 73.1(a) through
(d), in- BOTH applications submitted by Badall. See: (WR-78^218401).
  Pursuant to T.R.A.P. Rule 73.2, the Clerk of the convicting
court will not file an application that is not on the form prescribed
by the Court of Criminal Appeals, and will RETURN THE APPLICATION
TO THE PERSON WHO FILED IT, with a copy of the original form.

   The Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals may, without filing

an application that does not comply with this rule, return it
to the Clerk of the convicting court, with a notation of the

defect, AND THE CLERK OF THE CONVICTING COURT WILL RETURN THE

APPLICATION TO THE PERSON WHO FILED IT, with a copy of the official

form.

   As stated previously, Mr. Badall was never notified by either
Court Clerk that his application had been dismissed on August

22, 2012, nor was informed for what reason(s) it was dismissed,
until he requested a status report on February 24, 2015, and
March 13, 2015, etc. See: (EXHIBIT-A, B)

   A question has to be raised as to, if Mr. Badall or the trial
judge knew the Application was dismissed on August 22, 2012,
why then would the trial judge conduct a "live" evidentiary hearing
and enter his Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law on the

same Application on June 11, 2013?

   Also, another question must be raised, if the Clerk of the

convicting Court fulfilled her duties mandated by art. 11.07,
§3(b), and forwarded Badall's Application to the District Attorney,

etc., then how did the Court of Criminal Appeals DISMISS Badall's

Application BEFORE any Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law
were provided to them pursuant to art. 11.07, §3(d)?
                               5.
   Mr. Badall asserts that the record clearly reveals that his

Application filed on April 18, 2012, and/or the Application

dismissed on June 19,      2015,    were in compliance with T.R.A.P.

Rule 73.1 (a)-.(d) , whereas,      the information provided on the application

were typewritten, the FACTS were in summary form, and the applications

and memorandums were within the required page limitation.            See:

(WR-78,218-01)

   Article I, §12 of the Texas Constitution states:            "The writ

of habeas corpus is a writ of right and shall never be suspended."

See also:   EX PARTE THOMPSON,       273 S.W.3d 177,    181 (Tex.Crim.App.

2008)(The legislature shall enact laws to render the remedy

speedy and effectual).

   Similarly, article 1.08, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure,

provides that "the writ of habeas corpus is a writ of right and

shall never be suspended."

   In addition,   the Court of Criminal Appeals,          the District

Courts,   the County Courts,       or any Judge of said Courts,    have

power to issue the writ of habeas corpus; and it is their duty,

UPON PROPER MOTION,      to grant the writ under the rules prescribed

by law. See: TEX.CODE CRIM.PROC ART.          11.05.

   By the Court(s) DISMISSAL of Badall's application(s) for

writ of habeas corpus,      such unreasonable action has placed an

unnecessary burden,      delay,    and expense on Mr.   Badall from having

to reproduce copies of exhibits and refiling the application

and memorandum,   etc.
                                           PRAYER

     For the above and foregoing reasons, Mr. Badall asks this
Court to reconsider its dismissal of his Application(s) for
Writ of Habeas Corpus on the court's own motion, and reinstate
Mr. Badall's Application/memorandum for review of its merits.
Executed on this                 \L, ^     day of      QcAv>\p€-\T       > 2015.

      I, CHRISONDATH BADALL, do declare under the penalty of perjury
pursuant to Tex.Civ.Prac.Rem. Code, §132.001 - $132,003, that
the facts stated herein my request for the Court's reconsideration

of its dismissal of my application for writ of habeas corpus,

on the court's own motion,               is true and correct.

Executed on this             \U*         day of     Qc.M>\\

   I filed ;my first Appricati'on: for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant
to C.C.P. art. 11.07, on April 18, 2012. On June 11, 2013, the
trial judge of the 75th Judicial District Court of Liberty County,
Texas, appointed me an attorney and held an evidentiary hearing
pursuant to trial cause no. CR-24,834-A, and Writ No. WR-78,218-01

   At no time prior to this evidentiary hearing was I informed
that my application for writ of habeas corpus had been DISMISSED
for NON-COMPLIANCE on August 22, 2012. I did not learn of this
fact until after requesting a status report from my appointed
attorney, on March 27, 2015. See: (EXHIBIT-B)

   I immediately refiled my application for writ of habeas corpus,
but it was, AGAIN, dismissed for non-compliance on June 19, 2015,
unbeknownth to me until obtaining another status report by way
of the inter-net. See:        (EXHIBIT-C)

                                     OATH

   I, CHRISONDATH BADALL, do declare under the penalty of perjury
that the facts stated herein my Voluntary Affidavit is true and

Re: Writ No. WR-78,218-01; Liberty County

Mr.    Badall:

        Records from the Court of Criminal Appeals (CCA) reflect:
             On 8-13-12 the CCA received an Application for Writ of
        Habeas Corpus from you; assigned case# WR-78,218-01.
               On 8-22-12 the CCA DISMISSED your Application for Writ
        of Habeas Corpus for NON-COMPLIANCE.

               On 9-23-13 the CCA received the SUPPLEMENTAL CLERK'S
        RECORD from the Liberty County District Clerk's Office,
        which included the record from our hearings, and the
        FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW. The CCA filed
        the SUPPLEMENTAL CLERK'S RECORD, but took no action because
        case # WR-78,218-01 had been previously DISMISSED for
        NON-COMPLIANCE.

               On 2-24-15 and 3-13-15 you corresponded with the CCA
        requesting a status update.             On both occasions the CCA
        advised vou that case # WR-78,218-01 had been previously
        DISMISSED for NON-COMPLIANCE.

BADALL,   CHRISONDATH                           CAUSE NO.   WR-78,218-01

(Applicant)                         *

              APPLICANT'S SUGGESTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

     OF COURT'S DISMISSAL OF APPLICANT'S WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS,

      PURSUANT TO C.C.P. ART. 11.07, ON THE COURT'S OWN MOTION

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

     NOW COMES, CHRISONDATH BADALL, Applicant, proceeding pro se
in the above styled and numbered cause, respectfully makes his
suggestion for reconsideration of the Court's DISMISSAL of
Applicant's Writ of Habeas Corpus, pursuant to V.A.C.C.P. ART.
11.07, on the Court's own motion. In support thereof, Applicant,
hereinafter referred to as, "SADALL," would show the Court the

following:

                                      I.

     Applicant's request for this Court's reconsideration of its
DISMISSAL of Applicant's art. 11.07, Writ of Habeas Corpus, on
its own motion is authorized by T.R.A.P. Rule 79.2(d).
                                II.

  Applicant believes the Court's reconsideration of its DISMISSAL

of Applicant's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus (11.07)
is required in the interest of justice for the following reason:

   THE CLERK OF THE CONVICTING COURT AND/OR COURT OF CRIMINAL

APPEALS UNREASONABLY DISMISSED APPLICANT'S APPLICATION FOR WRIT

OF HABEAS CORPUS (11.07), IN VIOLATION OF APPLICANT'S DUE PROCESS

RIGHT, PURSUANT TO THE 14TH AMENDMENT TO THE U.S.    CONSTITUTION,

ARTICLE I, §12, OF THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION, TEXAS CODE OF CRIMINAL

PROCEDURE, ART. 1.08, 11.05, 11.07, AND T.R.A.P. RULE 73.1 &,2.

                           RELEVANT   FACTS

   The record reveals that on August 13, 2012, the Court of

Criminal Appeals received Mr. Badall's Application for Writ of

Habeas Corpus (11.07) in Cause No. WR-78,218-01, but DISMISSED

the Application for non-compliance on August 22, 2012. See:

(WR-78,218-01)

   At no time prior to the Court's dismissal of Badall's Application

was he notified by either, the Clerk of the convicting Court

or the Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals of any defect(s)

within the Application, as required by T.R.A.P. Rule 73.2, nor

was Mr. Badall, or the convicting Court notified of the Court's

dismissal of the Application on August 22, 2012. See: (EXHIBIT-A)

   Due to reason,   the convicting court was not advised of the

dismissal of Badall's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus,

and believed it was still active,     the convicting court conducted
                                 2.
a "LIVE" evidentiary hearing on June 11, 2013, pursuant to
V.A.C.C.P. art. 11.07, §3(d). The convicting court (75th Judicial
District Court of Liberty, County, Texas), in addition, appointed
Mr. Badall an attorney specifically for the evidentiary hearing
process. See: (WR-78,218-01)

   After the evidentiary hearing was conducted, counsel for the
state and counsel for Mr. Badall submitted their Proposed Findings
of Fact and Conclusions of Law for the trial Judge's consideration.

   On September 23, 2013, the Court of Criminal Appeals received
the Supplemental Clerk's Record from the convicting court, which
included the record of the evidentiary hearing and the Findings
of Fact and Conclusions of Law rendered by the trial judge.

   On February 24, 2015, Mr. Badall sent a letter to the Court
of Criminal Appeals requesting a status report on his pending
Application for writ of habeas corpus. After no response, Mr.
Badall sent another letter to the Court of Criminal Appeals,

along with a letter to his appointed attorney, requesting a
status report. See: (EXHIBIT-B)

   On March 27, 2015,   Mr. Badall's appointed attorney responded

by informing Badall that his Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus
was DISMISSED for NON-COMPLIANCE almost (2) years prior to his

status report request, on August 22, 2012. See: (EXHIBIT-B)

   Mr. Badall, although still not knowing the reason(s) for the

dismissal of his Application, immediately prepared and submitted

another Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus, pursuant to

                                  3.
V.A.C.C.P.   art.    11.07.

   On June 19,      2015,   Mr.   Badall's Application for Writ of Habeas

Corpus was ag'airi DISMISSED for NON-COMPLIANCE pursuant to T.R.A.P.

Rule 73.2.   See:    (EXHIBIT-C)

   As before,    Mr.   Badall was not notified by either the Clerk

of the convicting Court,          or the Clerk of the Court of Criminal

Appeals regarding what defects,           if any,    needed corrected for

compliance with Rule 73. See:           (EXHIBIT-A)

                            ARGUMENT    AND    AUTHORITIES

   An application filed under Article 11.07,                 Texas Code of Criminal

Procedure,   must be filed on the prescribed 11.07 form application.

See:   EX PARTE BLACKLOCK, 191 S.W.3d 718, 719 (Tex.Crim.App. 2006)

(citing T.R.A.P. Rule 73.1(a)).

   Pursuant to T.R.A.P. Rule 73.1(c), the person making the

application must provide all information required by the form.

The application must specify all grounds for relief,                 and must

set forth in SUMMARYxfashion the FACTS supporting each ground.

The application must not cite cases or other law.                Legal citations

and arguments may be made in a separate memorandum. The application

must be typewritten or handwritten legibly.

   As the record reveals,         Mr.   Badall sufficiently complied to

each and every requirement set forth in Rule "73.1(a) through

(d), in-BOTH applications submitted by Badall. See:                 (WR-78,218-01).

                                          4.
      Pursuant to T.R.A.P. Rule 73.2,            the Clerk of the convicting

court will not file an application that is not on the form prescribed

by the Court of Criminal Appeals, and will RETURN THE APPLICATION

TO THE PERSON WHO FILED IT, with a copy of the original form.

      The Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals may,               without filing

an application that does not comply with this rule, return it

to the Clerk of the convicting court,               with a notation of the

defect,       AND THE CLERK OF THE CONVICTING COURT WILL            RETURN THE

APPLICATION TO THE PERSON WHO FILED IT,                  with a copy of   the official

form.

      As stated previously, Mr.          Badall was never notified by either

Court Clerk that his application had been dismissed on August

22,    2012, nor was informed for what reason(s)               it was dismissed,

until he requested a status report on February 24,                  2015,   and

March 13,       2015,   etc.   See:   (EXHIBIT-A,   B)

      A question has to be raised as to,            if Mr.    Badall or the trial

judge knew the Application was dismissed on August 22,                    2012,

why then would the trial judge conduct a "live" evidentiary hearing

and enter his Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law on the

same Application on June 11,             2013?

      Also,   another question must be raised,             if the Clerk of the

convicting Court fulfilled her duties mandated by art.                    11.07,

§3(b), and forwarded Badall's Application to the District Attorney,

etc.,    then how did the Court of Criminal Appeals DISMISS Badall's

Application BEFORE any Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law

were provided to them pursuant to art.               11.07,    §3(d)?

                                           5.
   Mr.    Badall asserts that the record clearly reveals that his

Application filed on April 18, 2012, and/or the Application

dismissed on June 19,      2015,    were in compliance with T.R.A.P.

Rule 73.1(a)-(d), whereas,         the information provided on the application

were typewritten,    the FACTS were in summary form,          and the applications

and memorandums were within the required page limitation.             See:

(WR-78,218-01)

   Article I, §12 of the Texas Constitution states:             "The writ

of habeas corpus is a writ of right and shall never be suspended."

See also: EX PARTE THOMPSON,         273 S.W.3d 177,     181 (Tex.Crim.App.

2008)(The legislature shall enact laws to render the remedy

speedy and effectual).

   Similarly, article 1.08, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure,

provides that "the writ of habeas corpus is a writ of right and

shall never be suspended."

   In addition,   the Court of Criminal Appeals,          the District

Courts,   the County Courts,       or any Judge of said Courts,     have

power to issue the writ of habeas corpus; and it is their duty,

UPON PROPER MOTION,      to grant the writ under the rules prescribed

by law. See: TEX.CODE CRIM.PROC          ART.   11.05.

   By the Court(s) DISMISSAL of Badall's application(s) for

writ of habeas corpus; such unreasonable action has placed an

unnecessary burden, delay, and expense on Mr. Badall from having

to reproduce copies of exhibits and refiling the application

and memorandum,   etc.

                                       6.
                                              PRAYER

     For the above and foregoing reasons,                      Mr.   Badall asks this

Court to reconsider its dismissal of his Application(s) for

Writ of Habeas Corpus on the court's own motion,                              and reinstate

Mr. Badall's Application/memorandum for review of its merits.

   I, CHRISONDATH BADALL, being of sound mind, and over the age of
(18) years old, make this declaration from personal knowledge,
and under the penalty of perjury:

   I filed my first Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant
to CCP. art. 11.07, on April 18, 2012. On June 11, 2013, the
trial judge of the 75th Judicial District Court of Liberty County,
Texas, appointed me an attorney and held an evidentiary hearing
pursuant to trial cause no. CR-24,834-A, and Writ No. WR-78,218-01

   At no time prior to this evidentiary hearing was I informed
that my application for writ of habeas corpus had been DISMISSED
for NON-COMPLIANCE on August 22, 2012. I did not learn of this
fact until after requesting a status report from my appointed
attorney, on March 27, 2015. See: (EXHIBIT-B)

   I immediately refiled my application for writ of habeas corpus,
but it was, AGAIN, dismissed for non-compliance on June 19, 2015,
unbeknownth to me until obtaining another status report by way
of the inter-net. See: (EXHIBIT-C)

                                      OATH

   I, CHRISONDATH BADALL, do declare under the penalty of perjury
that the facts stated herein my Voluntary Affidavit is true and
correct.

Re:    Writ No.    WR-78,218-01;   Liberty County

Mr.    Badall:

        Records from the Court of Criminal Appeals        (CCA)   reflect:

             On 8-13-12 the CCA received an Application for Writ of
        Habeas Corpus from you; assigned easel WR-78,218-01.

             On 8-22-12 the CCA DISMISSED your Application for Writ
        of Habeas Corpus for NON-COMPLIANCE.

             On 9-23-13 the CCA received the SUPPLEMENTAL CLERK'S
        RECORD from the Liberty County District Clerk's Office,
        which included the record from our hearings,        and the
        FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW.  The CCA filed
        the SUPPLEMENTAL CLERK'S RECORD, but took no action because
        case # WR-78,218-01 had been previously DISMISSED for
        NON-COMPLIANCE.

             On 2-24-15 and 3-13-15 you corresponded with the CCA
        requesting a status update.         On both occasions the CCA
        advised you that case # WR-78,218-01 had been previously
        DISMISSED    for NON-COMPLIANCE.
