In May 2000, a jury found applicant guilty of the offense of capital murder. The jury answered the statutory punishment questions in such a way that the trial court set applicant's punishment at death. On August 28, 2002, an Article 11.071 ⁽¹⁾ application for writ of habeas corpus was timely filed in the trial court. It has been more than nine years since the application was filed. Accordingly, we order the trial court to resolve any remaining issues within 180 days from the date of this order. The clerk shall then transmit the complete writ record to this Court within 210 days from the date of this order. Any extensions of time shall be obtained from this Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 1^ST DAY OF AUGUST, 2012.
