IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-43,179-03

EX PARTE SHELDON MOSLEY, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 95-CR-3738-A (3) IN THE 28th DISTRICT COURT
FROM NUECES COUNTY 

Per curiam.
 
O R D E R

	Pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the
clerk of the trial court transmitted to this Court this application for a writ of habeas corpus.  Ex parte
Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967).  Applicant was convicted of three counts of
aggravated sexual assault of a child and sentenced to imprisonment for sixty years' on each count. 
	On November 16, 2012, an order designating issues was signed by the trial court.  The habeas
record has been forwarded to this Court prematurely.  We remand this application to the 28th District
Court of Nueces County to allow the trial judge to complete an evidentiary investigation and enter
findings of fact and conclusions of law. (1)
	This application will be held in abeyance until the trial court has resolved the fact issues.  The
issues shall be resolved within 90 days of this order.  A supplemental transcript containing all
affidavits and interrogatories or the transcription of the court reporter's notes from any hearing or
deposition, along with the trial court's supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall
be forwarded to this Court within 120 days of the date of this order.  Any extensions of time shall
be obtained from this Court.

1.  We would note that the Applicant's allegation in this case is that he is actually innocent
based upon a recantation affidavit filed by the complainant. Credibility determinations regarding
recanting witnesses are usually best made after a live evidentiary hearing has been conducted.
