On November 7, 2016, Applicant filed his second subsequent application for a writ of habeas corpus.

Ex parte Gallo, No. WR-77,940-03 (Tex. Crim. App. Feb. 8, 2017) (not designated for publication).
It has been nearly four years since we remanded the application to the trial court. Accordingly, we order the trial court to resolve any remaining issues in the case within 60 days from the date of this order. The clerk shall then immediately transmit the complete writ record to this Court. Any extensions of time shall be requested by the trial judge, or on his or her behalf, and obtained from this Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 13TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2021.
