    TEX.CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 42.03, §l(a)(Vernon supp. 2005),                   [2]

    When   th~    defendant is convicted of more than one offense in            th~   same

    proceeding, the court must pronounce whether the sentence will run

    concurrently or consecutively. See id. art. 42.08 (Vernon Supp. 2005).

         See also Blakely V. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 124 S. Ct. 2531 {2005).

    Therefore, based on the records of the            'NUNC' PRO-'TUNC!, hearing pro-

    ceeding,      [A]LL in Applicant's [ABSENCE]. Corrected the         'JUDGMENT AND

    cess of Law,      to hold such a· hearing wit h'out Appl it ant being present,

    to afford the opportunity to be represented by Counsel, in accord to

    Applicant's Due caurse: of Law ... [this actual]           'Nunc Pro Tunc •, hear-

    ing in open Court where the presiding Judge the Honorable [Maria T.

the official records o£ the Court of Criminal Appeals, Clerk'. The

{CCA), Order On July 28, 2014 [Supplemental to the Court Clerk's of-

fic.ial records]. See WR-25,679-15.

   Thus, the Court should follow the well-settled law set-out in

Vasquez, because it violates a defendant's Constitutional Rights to

Due Process and due Caurse of Law,          to Orally Pronuonce Sentence· to

Him and then later without giving Applicant an opportunity to be hear-

ed, enter a written judgment imposing a significant harsher Sentence.
