IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS





NO. WR-78,114-01


EX PARTE RONALD JAMES HAMILTON





ON APPLICATION FOR POST-CONVICTION WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 901049 IN THE 180TH DISTRICT COURT

HARRIS COUNTY



Per Curiam.  


O R D E R


	In November 2002, 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 May 3, 2004, the State filed in this Court its brief on
applicant's direct appeal.  Pursuant to Article 11.071 §§ 4(a) and (b) (1), applicant's initial
application for a writ of habeas corpus was due to be filed in the trial court on or before
September 15, 2004, assuming a motion for extension was timely filed and granted.  It
has been more than seven years since the application was due in the trial court. 
Accordingly, we order the trial court to resolve any remaining issues within 90 days from
the date of this order.  The clerk shall then transmit the complete writ record to this Court
within 120 days from the date of this order.  Any extensions of time shall be obtained
from this Court.
	IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 1ST DAY OF AUGUST, 2012.
