  The following ill~tration will shOw this honorable court that AppliCant is-
actual innocent of the offense because the criminal district cour+
was without jurisdic~ion convict and sentence him.
  The juvenile court abused it's d~acretion by waiving jurisdi.ct-
ion and transferring atplicant to .a criminal district court, when
it issued an order./that did not cont'ain specific findinga of t~e
c.ourt and certify it's action in a written oraer.see,EX-D[ORDER

   Section 54.02 of the juvenile justice code _provides that the ju-
venile court may wa~v~ it's exclusive original jurisdicti9n and
transfer a ch11• to the appropriate dj~trict court or criminal
district cour~ for criminal proceedings if:

      .J:~Lfa~ilitate this determination, the juvenile court must consider, among other
     ~~~rs/ the following factors:
     l] whether Ul& alleged offellBe was against person or property, with greater
         weight in favor of transfer ~iven to offenses againSt tbe pers~;

     4] the prospect of adequate protection of the public and the likelihood of the
\
         reha.bllitation of the child by use of pr:ocedures,services,and facilities
        cur~ently available to the juvenile court. TEX. PAM. coos ANN. §54.02(f) .•

        Texas family code ann~§54.02(h) obviQUSly contemplates that both the juveni~
      court's reason for waiving it's jurisdiction and the findings of fact that un-
      de~gttd th~se reasons should appeat in th~ transfer order. In or-
      der to justify tbe broad discretion invested in the juvenile c~ud,
      a court should take pains to show it's work,as it were,by spread-
      ing it's deliberative process on the record,tbereby providing a
      sure-fo~ted and definite basis from which an appellate court can
      determine that it's decision w~s in fact appropriately guided by
      the statutory criteria,principled,and reasonable-in snort,triat it
      is a decision demonstrably deserving of appellate imprimatur even
      if the appellate court· might have reached a different result. The
      legislature purpose of Tex • .Fam. Code Ann. §54.02(h) is not well
      served by a transfer order so lacking in specifics that the appe-
      llate court is forced to speculate ~s to the juvenile court's re-
    . a&ons for fin~in~ tr~nsfer to be appropriate or the facts the ju-
      venile court found to substantiate those reasons. Conversely,the
      juvenile court that does the heavy lifting Tex. Fam. Code Ann.
