IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-87,969-02
EX PARTE CASIMIRO BUSTOS SANDOVAL, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 1353837-A IN THE 248TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM HARRIS COUNTY
Per curiam.
OPINION
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 murder and
sentenced to fifty years’ imprisonment. The Fourteenth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction.
Sandoval v. State, 14-14-00140-CR (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] del. Feb. 10, 2015).
Applicant contends that he was denied his right, through no fault of his own, to pursue a pro
se petition for discretionary review in this Court after his conviction was affirmed. See Ex parte
Riley, 193 S.W.3d 900 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006); Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25 (Tex. Crim. App.
2
1997); Ex parte Crow, 180 S.W.3d 135 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). The habeas record forwarded to
this Court, which includes appellate counsel’s affidavit, supports Applicant’s claim.
Applicant is entitled to the opportunity to file an out-of-time petition for discretionary review
of the judgment of the Fourteenth Court of Appeals in Cause No. 14-14-00140-CR that affirmed his
conviction in Cause No. 1353837 from the 248th District Court of Harris County. Applicant shall
file his petition for discretionary review with this Court within 30 days of the date on which this
Court’s mandate issues.
