               Criminal Court of Appeals No. WR-56,734-04

       To Whom it May Concern:
       The "Order on Application for a Writ of Mandamus Cause No. 11,220 In the 21st District Court
       from Washington County" was filed with my office today November 25, 2015.
       Our records do not show that an "Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus" was filed by Mr.
       Hogan.
       There are two documents in his file that were filed this year, 2015. The first document was filed
       September 28,2015, titled "Motion: For Forensic DNA Testing Pursuant To Texas Code of
       Criminal Procedure Art.64.01 (A) (1) and right to Appointed Counsel Pursuant to Criminal Code
       ofProcedure Article 64.01 and the seconddocument was filed November 17, 2015, titled
       "State's Reply to Motion for Forensic DNA Testing Pursuant to 64.01 Texas Code of Criminal
       Procedure". Please see copies attached. This is the only documentation filed in his case since
       December 07, 2010.
       My office makes every effort to make sure files are handled promptly and correctly so I am not
       sure what would or could have happened to Mr. Hogan's application for writ of habeas corpus.
       Please let me know ifthere is anythingelse I need to do to assist in this matter.
        Sincerely,

     I DARRELL W.HOGAN AM ACTUAL INNOCENT OF THE OFFENSE OF POSSESSION
     OF FIREARM ON A LICENSE PREMISES IN CAUSE NUMBER 11220 FOR WHICH
     I WAS CONVICTED BY AN INVOLUNTARY PLEA GIVEN UNDER COERCION OF
     DETECTIVE KEN HUGHES who threatened that if I did not enter a

     HUGHES HAD WROTE HIMSELF THAT I WOULD BE RETALIATED ON BY FACING
     CRIMINAL PROSECUTION FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER CHARGE WHICH I AND
     REGGIE WATSON WAS ARRESTED AND INITIALLY DETAINED FOR.! DARRELL
     W.HOGAN DO FURTHER ATTEST THAT ON APRIL 19 1992 WHILE ON PREMISES
     OF PETE'S PLACE COUNTY Rd 96 IN WASHINGTON COUNTY TEXAS that I
     NEVER POSSESSED ANY FIREARM ,38 CALIBER PITSOL and NEVER PROVIDED
     REGGIE WATSON WITH ANY FIREARM,THIS WAS AN INCRIMINATING
     STATEMENT MADE BY DETECTIVE KEN HUGHES,Who was later discovered
     inFURTHER CRIMINAL ACTS OF THEFT AS A PUBLIC SERVANT DETECTIVE
     AND TERMINATED FOR THE SAME BY THE STATE OF TEXAS.My involuntary
     plea under coercion was at a tiwe when !was not literate nor
     legally competent to understand WHAT DETECTIVE KEN HUGHES HAD
 WRITTEN IN THAT STATEMENT and that-I as a 17 year old had a due
     process right that protected me against involuntary plea by

THAT IF MY TRIAL COURT ATTORNEY WOULD HAVE BEEN EFFECTIVE

            STATE'S REPLY TO MOTION FOR FORENSIC DNA TESTING PURSUANT TO
                        64.01 TEXAS CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

             COMES NOW, The State of Texas, by and through the District Attorney of

       Washington County, Texas, and requests the Court deny Petitioner's Motion for the following

       Reasons:

          1. Petitioner has not attached a sworn affidavit to his petition as required by 64.01 (a-1);

          2. No evidence that could contain biological evidence was collected in this case .. The
             Underlying case Petitioner was convicted for is "Unlawfully Carrying of a Weapon by a
             Felon." No evidence was collected that could be tested.

          3. Identity was not in question in this case. Petitioner gave a statement to law enforcement
             that at the time of an attempted murder, another individual had taken a gun from
             Petitioner's waistband.

                 WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State prays the Court to deny the relief

       Sought.
