IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-52,909-05
EX PARTE RONALD JONES, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. W13-39881-Q(A) IN THE 204TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM DALLAS 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 robbery and
sentenced to 14 years’ imprisonment.
In three grounds, Applicant alleges that he is entitled to time credit from the date a detainer
was placed on him, and that he should receive back-time credit because the instant sentence was
ordered to run concurrently with a prior sentence. We dismiss the first ground and deny the second
and third grounds. As to the first ground, Applicant’s remedy is to file a motion for nunc pro tunc
in the trial court, and then, if the trial court fails to act, a writ of mandamus in the appellate court.
2
See Ex parte Ybarra, 149 S.W.3d 147 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004). We reach the merits of the second
and third grounds, to the extent that they allege Applicant’s plea was involuntary. They are without
merit. See Davison v. State, 405 S.W.3d 682, 692 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). This application is
dismissed in part and denied in part.
