IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
                        OF TEXAS
                                       NO. WR-82,509-03

                       EX PARTE JAIME COVARRUBIAS, Applicant

               ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
             CAUSE NO. W99-32080-V(C) IN THE 292ND DISTRICT COURT
                            FROM DALLAS COUNTY

       Per curiam.

                                            ORDER

       Applicant 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. Under Article

11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, a district clerk is required to forward to this Court,

among other things, “the application, any answers filed, any motions filed, transcripts of all

depositions and hearings, any affidavits, and any other matters such as official records used by the

court in resolving issues of fact.” Id. at § 3(d); see also TEX . R. APP . P. 73.4(b)(4). The record

forwarded to this Court appears, however, to be incomplete. Specifically, the trial court in its

findings after the second remand refers to both a second amended application filed by Applicant on

April 8, 2020 and an affidavit submitted by appellate counsel on August 16, 2021. Neither of those
                                                                                                   2

documents are included in the supplemental records forwarded to this Court.

       The district clerk shall either forward to this Court or certify in writing that Applicant’s

second amended habeas application and the affidavit of appellate counsel are not part of the record.

The district clerk shall comply with this order within thirty days from the date of this order.
