IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
                        OF TEXAS
                                        NO. WR-38,155-07

                      EX PARTE YAN RENATE MCHENRY, Applicant

                ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
              CAUSE NO. W90-13742-R(G) IN THE 265TH DISTRICT COURT
                            FROM DALLAS COUNTY

       Per curiam.

                                            ORDER

       Applicant was convicted of conspiracy to possess a controlled substance and sentenced to

ninety-nine years’ imprisonment. The Fifth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. McHenry v.

State, 841 S.W.2d 455 (Tex. App.— Dallas 1992)(op. on remand). Applicant filed this application

for a writ of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this

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

       We have previously dismissed five subsequent applications in this cause. See TEX . CODE

CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07, § 4. It is obvious from the record that Applicant continues to raise grounds

that were previously rejected on the merits or that should have been raised in previous applications.
                                                                                                  2

We hold that Applicant has abused the writ and filed a frivolous lawsuit. See Ex parte Jones, 97

S.W.3d 586 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003); TEX . GOV ’T CODE § 498.0045(a-1). Should Applicant file

future habeas applications in this cause, we will not consider the merits of his applications unless

he shows that the factual or legal basis of his grounds was unavailable in a previously filed

application. This application is dismissed.

       Copies of this order shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice–Correctional

Institutions Division and the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
