• Article II. 27 applications. This section pertains to applicants who seek relief from a felony judgment imposing a penalty other than death. For practitioners, the most important provisions to remember when dealing with this section are: where the application is filed. Section 3(b) of art. II. 27 states that an application must be filed with the clerk of the court in which the conviction being challenged was obtained, and that the clerk shall assign the application to that court.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas. Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Seek- ing Relief from Final Felony Conviction Under Code of Criminal Procedure, Article II. 27 TNSTRUCTONS

Specifically: 3. You must file the entire writ application form, including those sections that do not apply to you. If any pages are missing from the form, or if the form has been downloaded and the questions have been renumbered or omitted, your entire application will be returned as non-compliant. If your application is returned as non-compliant, the clerk of the trial court will write a note of the defect on your application and return the form to you without filing it.

On the 23rd day of August, 2007 petitioner mailed to the 35th District Court Clerk Jon Brown his Article II. 27 Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Enclosed with said application was a letter of instructions to the clerk, One Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus. One Memorandum of law, with a copy of the State's complaint, and one copy of the grand juicy indictment. Please, will you make one copy for the District Attorney, then file said some presenting the copy to the D.A. then bring the original to the attention of the Court.

On the 12th day of February, 2015, petitioner received from the 35th

*5 Distribt Court Clerk, Cheryl Jones a copy of the original application for a Unit of Habeas Corpus assigned Coure Number 13, 872-1. In accordance to the Instruation number 3 designed by the Court of Criminal Appeals, I must file the entire unit application form... The Court of Criminal Appeals as a duty to have returned the entire application as non-compliant to the clerk of the trial court because said application is in violation of Article 11.07 Section 3. An application must be filed with the clerk of the court in which the conviction being challenged was obtained...

Instead of the Court of Criminal Appeals having returned the entire application on non-compliant, to the clerk of the trial court because said application is in violation of Article 11.07 §3, the Court issued a order because the sets out on pape five of the application:

You may attach a memorandum of law to the form application if you want to present legal authorities, but the Court will not consider groups. unds for relief in a memorandum of law that were not stated on the form application, Attitioner in his memorandum of law brought up a ground for relief by abouing of a fatally defective in diclment. Attitioner. gravely regrets he failed to present the ground on the form application.

The order issued by the Court of Criminal Appeals after there decision to application we-39,583-10 has no general effect to an application that v. 101 actes Article 11.07 §3. The unit of habeas corpus is the remedy to be used when any person is restrained in his liberty. It is on order issued by a court or judge of competent jurisdiction...

Here the unit issued by the 35th District Court Judge was without comp etent jurisdiction because the form application is in violation with Article 11.07 §3 V.A.C.C.P. and instructions set forth on the form application.
