CAUSE NOS. C-2-007827-0928884 IN CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 2 FROM TARRANT 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 these applications for writs of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of two counts of aggravated sexual assault and sentenced to thirty-two (32) years' imprisonment on each count. The Second Court of Appeals affirmed his convictions. Davenport v. State, No. 02-05-00170-CR, (Tex. App.- Fort Worth, June 15, 2006, no pet.) (not designated for publication).

Applicant alleges inter alia that his appellate counsel rendered ineffective assistance because counsel failed to advise him of his right to file petition for discretionary review pro se.

The trial court has entered findings of fact and conclusions of law that Applicant was deprived of his right to file a petition for discretionary review pro se. Ex parte Riley, 193 S.W.3d 900 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006). We find that Applicant is entitled to the opportunity to file an out-of-time petition for discretionary review of the judgment of the Second Court of Appeals in Cause No. 02-05-00170-CR that affirmed his convictions in Cause Nos. C-2-007826-0928884 and C-2-007827-0928884 from Criminal District Court No. 2 of Tarrant County. Applicant shall file his petition for discretionary review with the Second Court of Appeals within 30 days of the date on which this Court's mandate issues.
