OF TEXAS





NO. WR-75,000-01


EX PARTE MICHAEL L. EDWARDS, Applicant





ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. W99-01123-V IN THE 292ND DISTRICT COURT

FROM DALLAS COUNTY



 Per curiam.
 
O R D E R


	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 writ of habeas corpus.  Ex parte
Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967).  Applicant was convicted of aggravated
kidnapping and sentenced to five years' imprisonment.  He did not appeal his conviction.
	Applicant contends that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance at his adjudication
hearing and that his plea of true to his motion to adjudicate was involuntary.  
	The trial court has requested that this Court remand the application for further proceedings. 
We grant this request and hereby remand the application.    It appears that Applicant is represented
by counsel.  If the trial court elects to hold a hearing, it shall determine if Applicant is represented
by counsel, and if not, whether Applicant is indigent.  If Applicant is indigent and wishes to be
represented by counsel, the trial court shall appoint an attorney to represent Applicant at the hearing. 
Tex. C ode Crim. Proc. art. 26.04.
	The trial court shall make findings of fact as to whether the performance of Applicant's trial
attorney was deficient and, if so, whether counsel's deficient performance prejudiced Applicant.  The
trial court shall also make any other findings of fact and conclusions of law that it deems relevant
and appropriate to the disposition of Applicant's claim for habeas corpus relief.
	This application will be held in abeyance until the trial court has resolved the fact issues.  The
issues shall be resolved within 90 days of this order.  If any continuances are granted, a copy of the
order granting the continuance shall be sent to this Court. A supplemental transcript containing all
affidavits and interrogatories or the transcription of the court reporter's notes from any hearing or
deposition, along with the trial court's supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall
be returned to this Court within 120 days of the date of this order.  Any extensions of time shall be
obtained from this Court.
