IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS





NO. WR-78,128-01


EX PARTE PETE RUSSELL, JR.





ON APPLICATION FOR POST-CONVICTION WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 898795 IN THE 262ND DISTRICT COURT

HARRIS COUNTY



Per Curiam.  


O R D E R


	In February 2003, 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 25, 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 October 7, 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.
