clerk of the trial court transmitted to this Court this application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte

with a vehicle and sentenced to thirty years’ imprisonment as a habitual felon.

The parties are invited to provide this Court with legal and policy arguments as to whether the
                                                                                                     2

prosecution, should be determined in accordance with the law of the foreign jurisdiction or in

accordance with Texas law. All briefs shall be filed with this Court within 45 days of the date of this

order.
