I filed an application for merit of Habeas Corpus Act. 11.07 of C.C.P. with Chris Daniel of Harris County District Clerk's office. I got notice it was received Dec. 9, 2014 concerning cause number 51029072 -A and 1080203 -A in the 335th District Court. (State's Answer) ON Dec. 22, 2014. Notice of the States Proposed Finding of Fact and Order were issued concerning cause numbers 1029072 -A and 1080203 in the 335th District Court. Applicant is filing this complaint with the Court of Criminal Appeals because he never received notice the Honorable Court ever received his application for 11.07 of C.C.P. Merit of Habeas Corpus District Clerk's office.
JAN 26,2015 Applicant never received (White Card) with a Court of Criminal Appeal number referring 1029072 -A nor 1080203 -A of the 335th District Court in Hareis County.

| SHAWN D. EVANS,
Applicant | | | | | | | | | | |
STATE'S ORIGINAL ANSWER
The State of Texas, through its Assistant District Attorney for Harris County, files this, its original answer in the above-captioned cause, having been served with an application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Tex. Crim. Proc. Code
Ann. art. 11.07 §3, and would show the following: I.
The applicant is confined pursuant to the judgment and sentence of the District Court of Harris County, Texas, in cause number 1029072, where the applicant pled guilty and was convicted of the felony offense of possession of a firearm by a felon. [1] The trial court assessed punishment in accordance with the agreed plea bargain at fifteen (15) years confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice - Institutional Division and ordered that the sentences in cause numbers 1080203 and 1029072 run concurrently. No direct appeal was taken.
*25 II.
The State denies the factual allegations made in the instant application, except those supported by official court records, and offers the following additional reply:
REPLY TO APPLICANT'S SOLE GROUND FOR RELIEF
The applicant seems to allege he is being denied release to parole and that his conviction does not fall under discretionary mandatory supervision. Specifically, the applicant alleges that he does not have a case that falls under the discretionary mandatory supervision guidelines and he was not convicted of an offense where a deadly weapon was used. Applicant's Writ at 6. The applicant further alleges that he is eligible for release on parole when his actual calendar time served plus good conduct time equals one-fourth of the sentence imposed. Applicant's Writ at 6.
An offender's eligibility for mandatory supervision is determined by whether the offense of conviction was an eligible offense on the date it was committed. Ex parte Mabry, 137 S.W.3d 58, 62 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004). Subject to certain exceptions, a parole panel shall order the release of an inmate who is not on parole to mandatory supervision when the actual calendar time the inmate has served, plus any accrued good conduct time, equals the term to which the inmate.
*26 was sentenced. Tex. Gov't Code Ann. §508.147(a). However, an inmate may not be released to mandatory supervision if a parole panel determines in writing that: (1) the inmate's accrued good conduct time is not an accurate reflection of the inmate's potential for rehabilitation; and (2) the inmate's release would endanger the public. Tex. Gov't Code Ann. §508.149(b). To satisfy due process, the parole board must provide an inmate with notice that he will be considered for release on mandatory supervision prior to the review taking place. Ex parte Geiken, 28 S.W.3d 553, 560 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). A decision under §508.149(b) is not subject to administrative or judicial review. Tex. Gov't Code Ann. §508.149(d).
The applicant committed the offense for which he is serving his sentence in the primary case on June 1, 2005. State's Writ Exhibit "A", Judgment of Conviction by Court - Waiver of Jury Trial in cause number 1029072. The applicant is mistaken in his assertion that his conviction does not fall under the discretionary mandatory supervision guidelines. To the contrary, the applicant is eligible for Discretionary Mandatory Supervision because his conviction for possession of a deadly weapon in a penal institution was not listed as one of the ineligible offenses on the date the applicant committed the offense. Tex. Gov't Code Ann. §508.149(a) (West 2001). The applicant was given notice of the Discretionary Mandatory Supervision review on January 28, 2014. Applicant's
*27 Writ Exhibit "A", Notice of Initial Discretionary Mandatory Review. The applicant was denied release to Discretionary Mandatory Supervision on April 14, 2014 for the following documented reasons: (1) the record indicates the inmate has repeatedly committed criminal episodes or has a pattern of similar offenses that indicates a predisposition to commit criminal acts when released; (2) the inmate's accrued good conduct time is not an accurate reflection of the inmate's potential for rehabilitation; and (3) the inmate's release would endanger the public. State's
Writ Exhibit "B", TDCl Parole Review Information for Shawn Evans, TDCl Number 01387198. His next parole review date is in April, 2015. State's Writ Exhibit "B". The applicant does not argue he was denied due process, or that the parole board failed to follow the proper procedures in denying his release on mandatory supervision, therefore, the applicant has failed to plead and prove facts which would entitle him to relief. See Ex parte Rains, 555 S.W.2d 478, 481 (Tex. Crim. App. 1976) (in order to obtain habeas corpus relief, an applicant must plead and prove facts which entitle him to relief and he must prove his claim by a preponderance of the evidence.)
The applicant's claim should be dismissed.
*28 III.
The applicant raises questions of law and fact which can be resolved by the Court of Criminal Appeals upon review of official court records and without the need for an evidentiary hearing.

Parole Review Information
Parole Review Status
Offender is currently in the Parole Review Process
The parole review process begins approximately six months before the parole eligibility date for a first review and four months before the eligibility date in additional reviews. The process begins with the offender's file being reviewed for all appropriate documents, including letters of support and protest. An Institutional Parole Officer reviews the file and interviews the offender before preparing a case summary for the Board voting panel. The Board normally will vote on the case just prior to the parole eligibility date.
Offenders eligible for mandatory supervision who committed an offense since September 1, 1996 are reviewed for Discretionary Mandatory Supervision (DMS). An offender who has received a Serve All vote is reviewed for possible release to DMS by a Board panel prior to being released on the projected release date.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
- The applicant's eligibility for mandatory supervision is determined by whether the offense of conviction was an eligible offense on the date it was committed. Ex parte Mabry, 137 S.W.3d 58, 62 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004).
- The applicant is eligible for discretionary mandatory supervision because his conviction for possession of a firearm by a felon was not listed as one of the ineligible offenses on June 1, 2005. Tex. Gov't Code Ann. §508.149(a) (West 2001).
- Subject to certain exceptions, a patrol panel shall order the release of an inmate who is not on parole to mandatory supervision when the actual calendar time the inmate has served, plus any accrued good conduct time, equals the term to which the inmate was sentenced. Tex. Gov't Code. Ann. §508.147(a).
- An inmate may not be released to mandatory supervision if a parole panel determines in writing that: (1) the inmate's accrued good conduct time is not an accurate reflection of the inmate's potential for rehabilitation; and (2) the inmate's release would endanger the public. Tex. Gov't Code Ann .
- The applicant was provided due process because he was given notice that he would be considered for release on mandatory supervision prior to the review taking place. Ex parte Geiken, 28 S.W.3d 553, 560 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000).
- The parole board's decision to deny the applicant release on mandatory supervision is not subject to administrative or judicial review. Tex. Gov't Code Ann. §508.149(d).
- The applicant fails to plead and prove facts which would entitle him to habeas corpus relief because he does not allege he was denied due process, or that the parole board failed to follow the proper procedures in

denying his release on mandatory supervision. Ex parte Rains, 555 S.W.2d 478, 481 (Tex. Crim. App. 1976). 8. In all things, the applicant fails to prove his conviction and sentence were improperly obtained, or that he is being improperly confined.
Accordingly, it is recommended to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals that the instant application for writ of habeas corpus be dismissed and that all requested habeas relief be denied.
