                                           OPINION

       Applicant was convicted of assault-family violence and sentenced to twenty years’

imprisonment. He filed this application for a writ of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and

the district clerk forwarded it to this Court. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 11.07.

       Applicant contends that he was denied his right to an appeal because of a break-down in the

system. Based on the record, the trial court has found Applicant is entitled to an out-of-time appeal.

       Relief is granted. Ex parte Riley, 193 S.W.3d 900 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003). Applicant may file

an out-of-time appeal of his conviction in cause number 18-01958-CRF-85 from the 85th District

Court of Brazos County. Within ten days from the date of this Court’s mandate, the trial court shall

determine whether Applicant is indigent. If Applicant is indigent and wants to be represented by
                                                                                                      2

counsel, the trial court shall appoint counsel to represent him on direct appeal. Should Applicant

decide to appeal, he must file a written notice of appeal in the trial court within thirty days from the

date of this Court’s mandate.

        Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice–Correctional
