EX PARTE FELIPE NIEVES-PEREZ, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 114-1656-18-A IN THE 114TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM SMITH COUNTY

Per curiam.

ORDER

Applicant was convicted of engaging in criminal activity and sentenced to life imprisonment.

The Twelfth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Nieves-Perez v. State, No. 12-19-00389-CR,

(Tex. App.—Tyler, Mar. 18, 2021). Applicant filed this application for a writ of habeas corpus in

the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM .

PROC. art. 11.07.

On August 1, 2022, the trial court entered an order designating issues. The district clerk

properly forwarded this application to this Court under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure

73.4(b)(5). However, the application was forwarded before the trial court made findings of fact and

conclusions of law. We remand this application to the trial court to complete its evidentiary
investigation and make findings of fact and conclusions of law.

The trial court shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law within ninety days from

the date of this order. The district clerk shall then immediately forward to this Court the trial court’s

findings and conclusions and the record developed on remand, including, among other things,

affidavits, motions, objections, proposed findings and conclusions, orders, and transcripts from

hearings and depositions. See TEX . R. APP . P. 73.4(b)(4). Any extensions of time must be requested

by the trial court and obtained from this Court.
