                                                FROM DALLAS COUNTY

      The opinion was delivered per curiam.

                                                                          OPINION

      This is apost-conviction application for awrit of habeas corpus forwarded to this Court
pursuant to Article 11.07, V.A.C.C.P. Applicant was convicted of the offense of murder in
Cause Number F96-02383-UL in the Criminal District Court Number 5of Dallas. The conviction
was affirmed by the Court of Appeals. Argumaniz v. State, No. 05-96-01994-CR (Tex.App. -
Dallas, delivered July 31, 1998, no pet.). In the instant petition Applicant contends he was denied
his right to petition this Court for discretionary review due to his attorney's ineffective
representation in that his attorney failed to inform him of his right to petition this Court for
                                                    ^^^^s«^*^*^^s^^-'?'-

discretionary review following the affirmance ofhis conviction. The trial court recommends that
reliefbe granted. We agree with the recommendation.

       Habeas corpus relief is granted and applicant is granted leave to file an out-of-time petition
for discretionary review from his conviction in Cause Number F96-02383-UL from the Criminal
District Court Number 5 of Dallas County, Texas. The proper remedy in a case such as this is

to allow the applicant to file his petition for discretionary review with the Court ofAppeals within
thirty (30) days of the issuance of the mandate of this Court in this cause. He may then follow
the proper procedures in order that a meaningful appeal from his conviction may be taken.
