IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-89,028-01
EX PARTE TILTON JOSHUA ISAIAH MAPPS, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 1524810A IN THE 8TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM HOPKINS COUNTY
Per curiam.
ORDER
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 ninety-nine years’ imprisonment.
On October 24, 2018, this Court remanded this application to the trial court for findings of
fact and conclusions of law. On April 8, 2019, the trial court made findings of fact and conclusions
of law that were based on the trial judge’s personal recollection of the proceedings, the trial court’s
review of the record, and an affidavit provided by trial counsel. The trial court recommended that
relief be denied.
2
The trial court’s findings did not fully address all fact issues necessary to the resolution of
the claims that Applicant raised and that we remanded for resolution. Nonetheless, this Court has
undertaken an independent review of all the evidence in the record. Therefore, based on the trial
court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law as well as this Court’s independent review of the
entire record, we deny relief.
