ORDER

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 a writ of habeas corpus. Exparte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced to two years' imprisonment.

The record before us does not contain sufficient information to address Applicant's claims, and it contains is no response from the State, or findings of fact by the trial court.
