IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
                        OF TEXAS
                                             NOS.
                                          WR-94,502-01
                                          WR-94,502-02

                       EX PARTE ALBERTO LONGORIA, Applicant

               ON APPLICATIONS FOR WRITS OF HABEAS CORPUS
          CAUSE NOS. C-396-W012228-1365681-A & C-396-W012229-1365684-A
            IN THE 396TH DISTRICT COURT FROM TARRANT COUNTY

       Per curiam.

                                            ORDER

       Applicant pleaded guilty to two offenses of aggravated assault and was sentenced to two

concurrent terms of ten years in prison. The Second Court of Appeals affirmed the convictions in

an unpublished opinion. Longoria v. State, Nos. 02-21-00071-CR & 02-21-00072-CR (Tex.

App.—Fort Worth del. May 12, 2022). Applicant, through habeas counsel, filed these applications

for writs of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded them to this

Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07.

       The trial court had initially placed Applicant on deferred-adjudication community supervision

for the offenses; the probations were later revoked. Applicant contends that his revocation counsel
                                                                                                     2

was ineffective. He argues, had the trial court properly considered Applicant’s ineligibility for shock

probation, there is a reasonable probability the trial court would have assessed lesser sentences.

Applicant complains counsel failed to insure this occurred. There is no response from counsel in

the habeas record forwarded to this Court. The trial court shall order revocation counsel to respond

to Applicant’s habeas claim. In developing the record, the trial court may use any means set out in

Article 11.07, § 3(d). After receiving counsel’s response, the trial court may make any further

findings and conclusions it deems appropriate.

       The trial court shall comply with this order 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, if any, 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.
