1                       P R O C E E D I N G S

2                    THE COURT:    This is Cause Number

3    04-06-11756, the State of Texas vs. Pedro Reyes Trejo.

4                    Mr. Trejo, Mr. James Rivera is going to

5    assist in the interpretation of this particular matter,

6    okay?   Mr. Trejo, you had filed an appeal earlier based

7    upon a ruling of this Court and the 14th Court of Appeals

8    has abated or held your appeal and ordered me to hold a

9    hearing and ordered you to be present at that hearing,

10   and that's why we've brought you in today.       Do you

11   understand that, sir?

12                   MR. TREJO:    Yes.

13                   THE COURT:    And I am required to find out

14   if you desire to continue with your appeal.      So do you

15   wish to continue with your appeal?

16                   MR. TREJO:    Yes.

17                   THE COURT:    Very well --

18                   MS. SELLERS:    And, Judge, I don't know if

19   it needs to be more specific; but the appeal is as to the

20   Defendant's original motion for second DNA testing and no

21   other issues.

22                   MR. RIVERA:    He understands.   He concurs

23   with what Ms. Sellers said.

24                   THE COURT:    Very well.

25                   And, sir, do you have the ability to
                                                                   5

1    employ your own attorney?

2                     MR. TREJO:    No.

3                     THE COURT:    Very well.   I'm going to

4    appoint Mr. Calvin Garvie to handle the appeal, and I

5    believe this will be called a Chapter 64 appeal.

6                     MR. GARVIE:    That is correct, Judge.

7                     THE COURT:    And those matters that are

8    pertaining thereto.    So the Court does specifically find

9    that Mr. Trejo does wish to pursue his appeal.      The Court

10   does find specifically that Mr. Trejo is indigent, and

11   the Court does find that Mr. Trejo is entitled to

12   appointed counsel.    The Court does find that a record of

13   these hearings will be made, and the court reporter will

14   be directed to file a record of these proceedings with

15   the Court of Appeals no later than December 25th of 2014.

16                    Very well.    With that, do you have any

17   questions?

18                    MR. TREJO:    No.

19                    THE COURT:    You will be held here a little

20   bit longer.

21                    Chief, do we know when we're taking him

22   back?   Today?

23                    MR. HESTER:    Today.

24                    THE COURT:    Very well.   I would like to

25   allow Mr. Garvie a little bit of time to talk to Mr.
                                                                6

1    Trejo before then.

2                  MR. HESTER:    No problem.

3                  THE COURT:    I will prepare the proper

4    order and this will be provided to the 14th Court of

5    Appeals along with the record that was made today and you

6    will be allowed to pursue your appeal.     Very well?

7                  MR. TREJO:    Thank you.

8                  THE COURT:    Thank you, Mr. Garvie.      That

9    concludes this hearing.
