ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. CR-2837-01-H IN THE 389^TH DISTRICT COURT

FROM HIDALGO COUNTY

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 writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of indecency with a child by contact and sentenced to forty-five (45) years' imprisonment. The conviction was affirmed on direct appeal. Valdez v. State, No. 13-02-00246-CR (Tex. App. - Corpus Christi, August 12, 2004, pet. dism'd).

This Court first received this application on March 30, 2007, and returned it for failing to comply with the appellate rules on April 11, 2007. This Court has determined that the application was returned in error. After reconsideration on its own motion, the Court finds that the application should have been considered on the merits. Accordingly, the Court withdraws its prior disposition of this application and enters an order denying it.

This application is denied on the findings of the trial court.
