         IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
                                                          OF TEXAS

                                                                    NO. 73,443

                 EX PARTE DONALD RAY FOREMAN, Applicant

             ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
                                          FROM DALLAS COUNTY                      _

       The opinion was delivered per curiam.

                                                                    OPINION

       This is apost-conviction application for awrit of habeas corpus forwarded to this Court
pursuant to Article 11.07, V.A.C.C.P. Applicant was convicted of the offense of burglary of
ahabitation in Cause Number F-9647105-MQ in the 204th District Court of Dallas. The
conviction was affirmed by the Court of Appeals. Foreman v. State, No. 05-96-01600-CR
(Tex.App. -Dallas, delivered June 17, 1998, pet. dism'd). In the instant application applicant
contends,, inter alia, that he was denied his right to timely petition this Court for discretionary
review due to his attorney's ineffective representation by his failure to timely notify Applicant
of the action of the Court of Appeals. The trial court has recommended relief be granted on

this basis. We agree with the recommendation.

       Habeas corpus relief is granted and applicant is granted leave to file an out-of-time

petition for discretionary review from his conviction in Cause Number F-9647105-MQ in the

204th District Court of Dallas County, Texas. The proper remedy in a case such as this is to

allow the applicant to file his petition for discretionary review with the Court of Appeals

within thirty (30) days of the issuance of the mandate of this Court in this cause. He may then

follow the proper procedures in order that a meaningful appeal from his conviction may be

taken. All other relief sought is denied.
