                              AFFIDAVIT OF PAT MCDOWELL

COUNTY OF DALLAS

STATE OF TEXAS

       BEFORE ME, the undersigned official, on this day appeared Pat McDowell, who
is personally known to me, and first being duly sworn according to law upon his oath,
deposed and said as follows:

      My name is Pat McDowell. I am over 18 years of age, and I am fully competent
to make this affidavit. I have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein, and they are
all true and correct.

      I am a Senior Judge presiding over the Drug Court in Dallas County by
assignment. I have reviewed the writ file and the court file associated with Senrick
Wilkerson in cause numbers W08-60213-J(A) and F08-60213-J. The judgment in cause
number F08-60213-J indicates that the case was tried by Judge Keith Dean. (See
attached judgment). Judge Dean was acting as a visiting judge in Drug Court at the time
the case was heard. Among the papers in cause number F08-60213-J is a motion for new
trial signed and submitted by Calvin Johnson, Applicant's trial attorney. (See attached
motion #1). The motion for new trial is file-stamped January 5, 2010, but OnBase
indicates that it was filed on January 5, 2011. (See printout from OnBase1). Also among
those papers is another copy of the motion for new trial which includes a signature in the
portion of the motion which is to be signed by the Judge. (See attached motion #2). That
signature may be mine but I cannot say with certainty that I signed it. I do know that
directly below that signature I recognize a notation that was written, signed, and dated by
me, indicating that I did not act on the motion for new trial. That notation is dated
"7/7/11" and OnBase indicates that it was filed on that day. (See printout from OnBase).
It is likely that the motion for new trial was presented to me after Judge Dean tried the
case. While the signature on the motion may be mine, I did not grant a motion for new
trial in this case. My signed notation shows that I did not giant or act on the motion.

        FURTHER, Affiant sayeth not.
