Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas November 10, 2021 No. 04-19-00084-CR Gabriel MARTINEZ, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 379th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2016CR7552 Honorable Ron Rangel, Judge Presiding

ORDER Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Irene Rios, Justice Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice On October 14, 2020, this court affirmed appellant Gabriel Martinez’s conviction for murder.1 This court’s mandate issued on January 7, 2021 and has not been recalled. Martinez subsequently filed a writ of habeas corpus seeking permission to file an out-of-time petition for discretionary review in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. On September 15, 2021, the Court of Criminal Appeals granted Martinez permission to file an out-of-time petition for discretionary review. On October 12, 2021, Martinez filed a motion in this court requesting free copies of the clerk’s record and reporter’s record to use in preparation of his petition for discretionary review.

An indigent defendant is not entitled to a free copy of the trial record for preparation of a petition for discretionary review. See Ex parte Trainer, 181 S.W.3d 358, 359 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

Furthermore, we have no jurisdiction to entertain a motion “requesting free copies of the record long after [this] [c]ourt’s mandate has issued[.]” See Conner v. State, 588 S.W.3d 702, (Tex. App.—Waco 2019, order). Because we do not have jurisdiction to rule on the motion, Martinez’s motion requesting free copies of the clerk’s record and reporter’s record is DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION.
