                                   III.
       Relator has exhausted all remedies and has no other adequate remedy

at law.

       The act sought to be compelled is ministering not discretionary in

nature. Braxton vs. Dun~,-803 S.l:7.2d 318, 320 (Tex. Cr. App. 1991). An act

is ministerial ;!when the law clearly spells out the duty·to be performed ...

with such certainty that nothing is left to the exercise of discretion or

judgment".    Tex~DepJ:..:_~Cor~ec tions     vs. Dalehi te, 623 S. W. 2d 20 ~ 24

(Tex. Cr. App. 1981)~

   The Court of Criminal Appeals and each iudge thereof shall              have~   and

is hereby given, the power and authority to grant and issue the issuance

of writ of    habeas~   and in criminal   matters~   the writs of    Mandamus~

Procedendo~    Prohibition~   and Certiorari. The Court and each Judge thereof

have : and is hereby      given~   the power and authority to grant and issue aad

cause the issuance of such other writs as may be necessary to protect its

jurisdiction or enforce its judgments. Texas Constitution Article 5,

Subsection C.
                                           IV,
             HISTORY OF THE STATE'S CASE AND IN CUSTODY REQUIREMENT

       Relator was convicted in cause number 10085 and 10238W in which

Relator p lP.rl eui 1 ty to the two cause's in exchange f    Ot'   two .( 2) four. ( 4)

yeA:   sentence~   to be r8n concurrently, that would be probated,

       Jurlge Lindsey personally participated in the plea bargaining processes.

Relator was told by Judge Lindsey that is he decided at any time,                th~t     he

was going to reject the plea bargain agreements, that Rela~or would be

a]lowed, and shall he permitted to withdraw Relator's pleas of guilty,

However, At the point in which Judge Lindsey hearrl the revocation of

probation hearing he stacked cause number 10218W on top of cause number
10085J thereby rejecting the plea bargain agreements.
Page 3.

     These plea bargain agreements were consolidated and tried at the same

time as Relator plead guilty to both offenses at the same time in cause

number's 100~5 and 10238W. To provide evidence of this fact Relator would

point this Court to the fact in order for Judge Lindsey to be able to

consolidate these cause number's 10085 and cause number 10238W, Relator

had to waive Relator's rights to indictment in which Relator did in order

to recive the two cause's 10085 and 10238W to be tried together at the

same time, so Relator could receive concurrent setences otherwise Relator

would not of waived Relator's rights to be indicted first before the Court

could proceed on both cause's 10085 and 10238W, as the Court lacked

jurisdiction for trial of both cause's at that time. Relator would fuether

argue to this Court that Relator is actually innocent of committing these

offenses of Theft in cause number 10238\.J and Unauthorize Use of a Motor

Vehicle in   ~ause   number 10085.

     Relator would show this Court that because of the serious collateral

consequences arising from a conviction for felony       thef~   the doctrine of

mootness does not prohibit this collateral attack. See Ex Parte Guzman,

551 S.W.2d 387 (Tex. Cr. App.1977); Ex Parte Burt, 499 S.W.2d 109 (Tex Cr.

App. 1973); Ex Parte Jentsch,510 S.W.2d 320 (Tex. Cr. App. 1974); Ex Parte

Langston, 510 S.W. 2d 603 (Tex. Cr. App. 1974);See also Ex Parte Harp, 561

S.W. 2d 180 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978).

     Relator would contend that it is well settled that a habeas corpus
                                            11
Application Applicant meets the statutory        in custody"requirements when,at

the time he files the petition he is in custody pursuant to the conviction he

attacks or he is in custody pursuant to another conviction that is positively

and demonstrably related to the convictions he attacks. See Carter vs.

Procunier, 755 F.2d 1126 (5th Cir. 1985); See also Carter vs. Estelle, 677

F. 2d 427 (5th Cir. 1982).
Page 4.

     Relator would assert that Relator is confined pursuant to a May 20th

1986: conviction for aggravated assault in cause number 13,472, wherein

the 12th Judicial District Court of Walker County, Texas, upon plea of

not guilty and jury trial, Relator was found guilty and punishment was

assessed by the jury at 99 years imprisonment and ordered to run

consecutively with the sentence Relator was assessed upon conviction for

credit card abuse of 20 years imprisonment as punishment in cause number

22778. Therefore, Relator's present confinement is set at 119 y~ars

imprisonment. Punishment enhanced by proof of the prior convictions in

cause rtumber 10085 and cause number 10238W in both convictions in cause

numbers 22778 and in cause number 13,472, that Relator is now confined on.

     However, in cause number 22778, Relator plead true to the enhancement
Count's cause number 10085 and cause number 10238W. Therefore, Relator

would show that Counsel at the 1981 trial was ineffective because he failed

to investigate the validity of Relator's 1977 convictions that the prosecutor

used the 1977 convictions for enhancement counts when he should have known

that it was void. See. V.T.C.A.Penal Code 3.03.

     A defendant may not by agreement render legal a punishment which is

not otherwise authorized by law. Heath vs. State, 817 S.W.2d 335 (Tex. Cr.

App. 1991). In circumstances such as Rel~tor's ' 1 sentences shall run

concurrently~     V.T.C.A.Penal Code 3.03. This language creates an absolute

restriction of a trial Court's general authority to impose consecutive

sentences. See Wilson vs. State,677 S.W.2d 518 (Tex. Cr. App. 1984). A

defect which renders a sentence void may be raised at any time. Ex Parte

Mcjver,586 S .. W.2d 851, 854 (Tex. Cr. App. 1979); Ex Parte Shields, 550

S.W.2d 670   7   675 (Tex. Cr. App.1977).

     Clearly, La Porte vs. State,840 S.W. 2d 412 (Tex. Cr. App. 1992), Leaves

no doubt, on the State of the law in this area of the law.

Lynaugh, 821 F.2d 1072 (5th Cir. 1987); See also Hill vs. Lockhart, 474
U.S. 52, 106 S.Ct. 366, 369, 88 L. Ed. 2d 203(1985). As Relator clearly
had a plea bargain for concurrent sentences in cause No's. 10085 and

10238W. See attachment hereto of Exhibit "A" o incorporated herein for all
purposes. Clearly Relator is entitled to reversal of the convictions and
sentences.
     Relator suggests the proper remedy in cause number's 10085 and 10238W
should be found to be void under La Porte vs. State, 840 S.W.2d 412 (Tex.
Cr. App. 1992); and Ex.Parte Sims 868 S.W.2d 803 (Tex. Cr. App. 1993); And
Ex Parte McJunkins,954 S.W.2d 39-43 (Tex. Cr. App. 1997), and remand
back to the trial Court for new trial, relying on these above described
Court decisions and in cause number's 22778 and 13,472 these sentence's
should be reversed for resentence without the void convictions 10085 and
10238W being used for enhancement Counts purposes. As a matter of the law.
See Burgett vs. State of Texas,389 U.S. 109, 112-13, 88 S.Ct. 258, 260-61,

                             THRESHOLD QUENTIONS
     Several preliminary issues will be raised which must be considered
before the issues are revie.ed on there     meri~s;   this has the effect of
                                                                  11
making this case more complex than the issues of complaints            Unkept Plea
Bargain agreements and void stacking of the     sentence~   in cause number
10085 and 10238W' 1 , which changed Relator's punishment from a total of
four (4) years maximum to a eight (8) year maximum, prison sentence. See
Pa·ge 6.
Attachment hereto of Exhibit ;'B"; 1 of 3 pages incorporated herein for all

purposes. Relator did the whole eight (8) years maximum sentence.

      A EXAMINATION OF THE ATTACHMENT Exhibit ' 1 B" is a affidavit of

Charley Valdez, at page 2 at the bottom of the page is a record of

Offender Robert Gordon TDCJ-ID#319173 time earning status's to show

promotion and demotion dates: :.vJhich shows Relator was betv1een 11-23-

1978 to 06-13-1982 a S4 Trusty Line   Class~   54 Status earns 30 days for

every 30 days done and earns additionally another 30 days good time. A

total of 60 days for time earning status, Time line class which equals

all time earn for that period. This chart in this box also shows

from 10-05-1982 to 05-22-1983 that Relator was Line class 3, which does

not earn any time of good time status, this time period only earns day

for day time earning status, which means no good tine earn. The chart

further shows that Relator was Line 2 status from 05-23-1983 to 07-09-1983,

this time earning status earns day.for day with only 10 days added for

good time status. A line I Status earns every 30 days he receives 20 days

good time earning status. The "B" Status earns a extra 10 days for every

30 days that Relator is Line I Status.

     Clearly, there is a chart showing that Relator was continually

confined between 11-23-1978 to 03-28-07. Which shmvs Relator discharged

the original 1977 convictions and the 1980 conviction up to     th~   date

and begain serving the 1984 conviction up to the date Relator is still

confined under.

     The chart above described clearly shows Relator completed the two

four (4) year sentences as stack by Judge Lindsey. Therefore, Relator suffer

the punishment of the prejudicial stacking of the t\vo four (4) year sentences

and Relator has completed doing the eight (8) years sentence in full.

     Therefore, Relator seeks to withdraw Relator's pleas of guilty in
P:tge 7.

cause number's 10085 and 10238W and be able to plea again, Anew to not

guilty in accordance to the prejudicial punishment of the Eight years

that Relator had to do, in violation of Relator's original plea bargain

agreements of the (2) four (4) year concurrent sentencing. La Porte vs.

State, 840 S.W.2d 412 (Tex. Cr. App. 1992); and Ex Parte Sims,868 S.W.

2d 803 (Tex. Cr. App. 1993); And Ex Parte McJunkins,954 S.W.2d 39-43
(Tex. Cr; App. 1997).

     Relator was cited for abuse of the writ process pursuant to an order

of the Court of Criminal Appeals, pn May 25th,1983. Said Order is attached

as Exhibit "C", incorporated herein for all purposes.

     Relator states that, as set out in Relator's·original Application for

habeas corpus, Relator has not been provided with the opportunity to

challenge the earlier convictions in number's 10085 and 10238W, on the

issues now presented due to the fact that the only issue on Relator's prior

Appeal proffered by Counsel Jeffrey A. Kearney was the issue of the Judge's

authority to cummulate Relator's sentences. In this Appeal Counsel Jeffrey

A. Kearney received a proitable decision by the Court of Criminal Appeals

in it's opinion by the Court ordering the cumulation recitals in the

sent.ences in cause number 10238W are ineffective and are therefore ordei"ed

deleted therefrom, under the Court's decision in Ex Parte Reynolds,462 S.W.

2d 605 (Tex. Cr. App. 1970). However, the Court didn't stop there,it went on

to state:   11
                 Finally ~ \ve have reviev1ed the Appellant's pro se allegations

and we find them to be \vithout· merit'.' See Gordon vs.     Stat~      575 S.W.2d

529, at 534 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978).

     Relator raised in Relator's Prom Se allegations the conviction and
                                                               11
sentences w·ere based on "Unkept Plea Bargain Agreements            •



     Relator would further show the Court that Relator filed two (2) writ's
of habeas corpus while Appeal was still pending before the Court of
Pa'ge 8.
Criminal Appeals, which Judge Lindsey ordered Relator's two (2) writs of

habeas corpus to be forwarded to the Court of Criminal Appeals to be
treated as pro se brief's on Appeal, per order of the Judge Lindsey.
      Upon review of these Pro Se Brief's on Appeal, .because the Court
of Criminal Appeals entered into a judgment in Relator's behalf by
ordering the cumulation of cause number 10238W as being ineffective and
therefore ordered deleted therefrom, and ordering the reformation of the
sentences of cause number's 10085 and 10238W to be ran concurrently. See
Gordon vs. State,575 S.W.2d 529, at 534 (Tex.   App~   1978).
     ~elator's pro se brief's were never reached on there merits because

the Court of Appeals was ordering the reformation of the stacking order
of the Court Judge Lindsey. See Gordon vs. State, 575     s~w.   2d 529, at
534 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978), and this is why the Court found Relator's       11
                                                                               Unkept
plea bargain agreement claims in the pro se brief's to be without merit,
because the Court of Criminal Appeals was reforming the stacking of the
sentences".
     So, Relato~ didn't suffer no prejudice, as Relator was having Relator's
original plea bargain agreement enforced by the Court of Criminal Appeals
ordering the reformation of the sentences of cause number 10085 and
10238W to be ran concurrently. Gordon vs. State,575 S. H. 2d 529, at 534
(Tex. Cr. App·. 1978).
     However, the State filed a Motion for Rehearing vJi thin the Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals under its rules, ordered a rehearing, on the
State's filed Motion for Rehearing. The Rehearing was granted, and that
part of the original opinion declaring the cumulation order invalid and
reforming the sentence is set aside and the judgment including the
cumulation orders are now affirmed. See Gordon vs. State, 575 S.W.2d 529

at 534-535 (Tex. Cr. App. 1979).
Page 9.

     Relator has did the full sentences as stacked and has fully completed

the sentences as stacked due to the Court of Criminal Appeals opinion and

decision. See Gordon vs. State,575 S.W.2d 529, at 534-535 (Tex. Cr. App.

1979). So, Relator has suffered the prejudicial harm of the Court of

Criminal Appeals opinion and decision on rehearing. See also Exhibit "Bn
                                                                                   '
the affidavit of       Valdez~

     Relator would further point out to the Court that on direct Appeal

Counsel Jeffrey A. Kearney completely abandoned Relator on Appeal when he

received the proitable decision by the Court of Criminal Appeals in its

opinion. However, on State's granted Motion for Rehearing and the Court of

Criminal Appeals decision in restacking the sentences. Gordon vs. State,

575 S.W.· 2d 529, at 534-535 (Tex. Cr. App. 1979).

     Counsel Jeffrey A. Keirney merely sent Relator the Court's decision,

with a letter of the opinion and never advised Relator of the rights to

file a Motion for discretionary review, thereby, denying Relator of the

right to do so and just merely abandoned Relator.

     Relator due to the Court's never reaching the       ~'Unkept   Plea bargain
         1
issue'       raised by Relator. Relator filed the first application for writ of

habeas corpus in the 3rd Judicial District Court of Tarrant County, Texas.

     The assistant district attorney in Fort Worth, Texas, filed a

writ response to Relator's first writ of habeas corpus filed and heard as

a writ of habeas corpus and attached a copy of Relator's two writs of habeas

corpus that were forwarded to the Court of Criminal Appeals to be consider

as Pro Se brief's on Appeal, which ~ent without being actually heard on oits

merits because the Court's order reforming the sentence pursuant to attorney

Jeffrey A. Kearney's brief on Appeal receiving a favorable Court of

Criminal Appeals decision. See Gordon vs. State,575 S.W;2d 529, at 531-

534 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978).
     The Assistant District Attorney in Fort Worth, Texas, attached a copy
.Page 10.
of Relator's Pro Se brief's on Appeal and pointed to the Opinion of the

Court of Criminal Appeals wherein the Court stated that Relator's Pro Se

brief on Appeal was without merit and argued that the Court should cite

Relator for abuse of the writ of habeas corpus because Relator has already

addressed Relator's claims on Appeal and the Court of Criminal Appeals

has found them to be without merit and Relator is again attempting to have

the same claims heard again after they have already been heard and denied

and found to be without merit by the Court of Criminal Appeals. The

assistant district attorney ''played the district Court Judge and the Court

of Criminal Appeals", by these arguments and committed fraud on the Court in

which the assistant district attorney acted with a intentional ill motive
                                                           1
which should not have pass even the most lenient ethical       'smell   test 1.' He

clearly bypassed questions of ethic's in a effort to gain advantage in this

litigation. He clearly acted in bad faith and ignored the facts of the true

reasons in why Relator's Pro Se brief's on Appeal were found to be without

merit by the Court of Criminal Appeals decision and opinion in which the

Court of Criminal Appeals was ordering, the cumulation recitals in the

sentence in cause number 10238W to be ineffective and therefore ordered it

deleted therefrom. As, the next statement by the Court of Criminal Appeals:

Finally 1 we have reviewed the Appellant's Pro Se allegations and we find

them to be without merit, but this finding was made because Relator

received a favorable decision on Appeal by the unstacking order. See Gordon

vs. State, 575 S.W.2d 529, at 531-534 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978).

     Furthermore, the Assistant district attorney also gain advantage by

his false arguments to the Court of Criminal.Appeals by that Court citing

Relator for writ abuse in Relator's first writ of habeas corpus that was

considered at that time and Reatohas been denied the ability to ever

file another writ of habeas corpus since the Assistant district attorney
made his fraudulent arguments that got the Court of Criminal Appeals to cite

                                                                              11
Relator for writ abuse. See prior \vrit· abuse attached hereto as Exhibit          C"

incorporated herein for all purposes.

     Subsequently, the State filed a Motion for rehearing within the Texas

Court of Criminal Appeals under the Rules,   ord~red   a rehearing on the

State's filed Motion for rehearing. The rehearing was granted, and that

part of the original opinion declaring the cumulation set aside is now

reversed and the judgment including the cumulation order are now affirmed.

See Gordon vs. State,575 S.W.2d 529, at .534-535 (Tex. Cr. App. 1979).

     Relator would argue to the Court that the rehearing the Court of

Criminal Appeals entered into error by relying on Spencer vs. State, 503

S.W.2d 557 (Tex. Cr. App. 1974), and Ex Parte Crawford, 36 Tex. Cr. App.

180, 36 S.W. 92 (1896); Ex Parte March, 423 S.W. 2d 916 (Tex. Cr. App.1Yb8),

And Ex Parte Davis, 542 S.W.2d 117 (Tex. Cr. App. 1976).

     Relator contends that the trial Court erred in cumulating the sentences

because concurrent sentences are mandated by Tex. Penal Code Ann. 3.03 (Ver-

non's 1974):

                Section 3.03 provides:

                  Uhen the accused is tound guilty ot more than
                  one offense, arising out of the same criminal
                  episode prosecuted in a single criminal action,
                  sentences tor each offense for which he has
                  been found guilty shall be prononced. Such
                  sentences shall run concurrently.

     ~he   Court of Criminal Appeals on rehearing erred in   thj~   it relied on

outdated cases and law ...

     Relator would show the Court where a trial Judge's cumulates and

does increase punishment after revocation, an additional issue is presented:

Whether an increise in punishment after revo6ation violates due process

under North Carolina vs. Pearce, 395 U.S.711, 89 S.Ct. 2072, 23 L.Ed. 2d

656 (1969). Cf. Bovie vs. State,5b5 S.W.2d 543 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978);Lechuga
vs. State,~32 S.W.2d 581 (Tex. Cr. App. 1975).
Page 12.

     The Court of Criminal Appeals additionally stated in La Porte vs.

State, 840 ~.w.2d 412 llex. Cr. App. ~Y92) that:

                           "An improper cumulation order is, in
                            essence, a void- sentence, ana such
                            error cannot be waived. A derect
                            which renders a sentence void may
                            be ralsed at any time. Levy vs.
                            State,81~ S.W.2d 801 (Tex.Cr.App.
                            1991).

     The La    ~orte,   Court further recognized that it had vacated improper

cumulation orders presented for tne first time in Postconviction writs of

habeas corpus. La Porte,Supra, footnote 5. See Ex Parte Ashe, 641S.W.2d

243 (Tex. Cr. App. 1982), and Ex Parte Vasouez, 712 S.W.2d754 (Tex. Cr.

App. 1986). See also Ex Parte Sims,868 S.W.2d 803 (Tex. Cr. App.1993),

Ex Parte McJunkins,954 s.W.2d 39, 39-43 lTex. Cr.      ~pp.1997).

     ~elator   contends that as a matter of the law the trial Court, as well

the Court of Criminal Appeals has erred in cumulating the sentences

because concurrent sentences are mandated by Tex. Penal Code. Ann. 3.03

(Vernon's 1974), as a matter of law. See La Porte vs. State,840 S.W.2d 412

(Tex. Cr. App. 1992); Ex Parte Sims,868 S.W.2d 803 (Tex. Cr. App. 1993),

and Ex Parte McJunkins, 954 S. \v. 2d _39, 39-43 (Tex. Cr. App. 1997), in which

Relator relies and is entitled to as a matter of law.

     Relator's convictions should be voided and Relator returned to the

trial Court to face these charges again, as Relator's plea bargain

agreements were violated by the Court and Relator has already did the

sentences, as cumulated against Relator in cause number's 10085 and

10238W. Relator has suffered the prejudicial harm of the stacking of the

sentences. Relator should be able to withdraw the pleas of guilty, as

Relator was told he would be allowed to do, if Judge Lindsey didn't

except the pleas of guilty. Relator is entitled to relief under Ex Parte
Sims, 868 S.W.2d 803, at 804-805 (Tex. Cr. App. 1993); Ex Parte McJunkins,
Page 13.

954 S.W.2d 39,39-43 (Tex. Cr. App. 1997).

     Relator attempted to file another application for     w~it   of habeas

corpus when Relator came accross the case of La Porte vs. State, 840

S.W. 2d 412 (Tex. Cr. App. 1992), and arguing to the Court that their has

been a intervening change in the law which should allow Relator the

consideration of another application for writ of habeas corpus. However, the

Court again refused to hear, and intertain the claim for relief that Relator

should be entitled to by the Court of Criminal Appeals.

     The Court should relize that there is no new habeas corpus claim         ~r1hen

a Applicant merely asserts that     a previous ruling which precluded a merits

determination was in error. There has been no final determination on the

merits of Relator's first application for writ or for that matter there

hasri't been any consideration undertaken by the Court of Criminal Appeals

under 11.07 that has ever been undertaken by this Court in none of Relator's

prior applications in any convictions in cause number's 10085 and 10238W,

and cause number 22778 and cause number 13,472, on there merits and there

has never been a written response on there merits, it always has been on

procedural grounds, such as no proper oath being given to the application

which is a requisite to the application. See Code of Criminal Procedural

requisite Article 11.14 (5) or Relator had a direct Appeal pending as

another procedural ground in keeping Relator's applications from being

heard on there merits in any of the above described causes, as it always

has been Relator's pleadings were deficient as a matter of pleading, and

denial \vi thout a vlri t ten dec is ion. The only reasonable interpretation of the

denials of Relator's Applications by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals

is that the Court invoked proceduaral default and did not decide the case

on the merits of the Unkept plea bargain agreements, as pointed out by

Relator.
Page 14.

                     ARTICLE I, SECTION 12 HABEAS CORPUS

     The writ of habeas corpus is a writ of right, and shall never be

suspended. The Legislature shall enact laws to render the remedy speedy

and effectual. See Code Criminal Procedure Article 1.08 and Article 11.07z

Section 4.

     Relator would assert to the Court of Criminal Appeals that in Ex Parte
Torres,943 S.W.2d 469, at 475-476 (Tex. CR. App. 1997); "Because the direct

Appeal record contained insufficient evidence to evaluate the ineffective

assistant of Counsel issue, we hold that the rejection of his claim on

direct appeal does not bar relitigation of his claim on habeas corpus to the

extent that Applicant seeks to gather and introduce additional evidence not

contained in the direct Appeal record".

     Relator has a similar claim of review on Appeal. Relator raised on

Appeal that the "pleas of guilty were based on Unkept Plea bargain

agreements''. No evidentiary hearing was ever entertained by the Court to

allow Relator to develope the facts of the record on Appeal. Relator would

point the Court to review Relator's Exhibit "A" a letter written to Relator

by Counsel Art Brender who represented Relator at the plea bargain

undertaken by Judge Lindsey.

     Clearly, a revie\v of exhibit "A" establishes by examination of this

letter that Realator had plea bargain agreements at the time Relator entered

a plea of guilty which Relator was told by Judge Lindsey that he would

except the plea bargain agreements prior to   exc~p~ance   of the plea by

Judge Lindsey.

     This letter by Art Brender to Relator shows that upon Judge Lindsey

adding a cumulation order to cause number 10238W and stacking the sentence

on top of cause number 10085, Relator immediately complained to Art Brender

of the unkept plea bargain agreements as the letter was written to Relator
by Art Brender in response to Relator's letter to Art Brender dated
Page 15.

February 23· 197 8, that he responded to on March 2,197 8, in his response he

makes it clear "the plea bargains in Judge Lindsey's Court were, at that

time, even though not required by law, placed in the record, and the

matters to which you inquire should be a matter of record".See Exhibit "A"

incorporated herein for all purposes.

     Relator would contend Judge Lindsey excepted the plea bargain agreements

at that time and assessed two probations of four (4) years that were running

concurrently.

     As, it is well established that where a trial judge does not order that

two sentences in two different cases shall be cumulative, the terms of

imprisonment automatically run concerrently. Ex Parte Reynolds,462 S.W.2d

605 (Tex. Cr. App. 1970); See also Gordon vs State,575 S.W.2d 529,at 532

(Tex. Cr. App. 1978).

     Thus, Relator argues that since the judgments placeing Relator on

probation did not indicate that the sentences were to be cumulated, the

attempted cumulation after revocation is ineffective, as Judge Lindsey

excepted the pleas of guilty for two concurrent sentences, which were

suspended and Relator was placed on probation for four (4) years.

     Rela«lor would point this Court to examine Exhibit "D" attached hereto
incorporated herein for all purposes. This Exhibit "D" which instrument is

entitled "conditions of Probation, in cause number's 10085 and 10238W,

shows on May 12th, 1977, Relator was placed on probation for a period of

Four (4) years, for the offenses Theft of property over 200   & under $10,000
cause number (10238W) and Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle Cause number

(10085) by the Honorable Judge Charles W. Lindsey. Relator was only required

to report to the probation Officer of Tarrant County, Texas on the 6th day of

June, 1977, and on the 6th day each month thereafter, during probation.

Relator was only assessed one court cost and one probation fee by Judge
Page 16.

Lindsey and this instrument was written by Judge Lindsey and signed by

and signed by Judge Lindsey, himself.

     Clearly, Judge Lindsey excepted the Plea bargain agreements.

     However, Relator's punishment, upon revocation of probation, was in

fact increased to eight (8) years. As such, the trial Judge's actions in

entering a cumulation order violated the plea bargain agreemerits and

additionally presented issues in: nwhether an increase in punishment after

revocation of punishment violates due process under North Carolina vs.

Pearce, 395 U.S. 711, 89 S.Ct. 2072, 23 L. Ed. 2d 656 (1969). CF. Bovie,

vs. State, 565 S.W. 2d 543 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978);Lechuga vs. State, 532 S.W.

2d 581 (Tex. Cr. App. 1975).

     Judge Lindsey's revocation hearing, he stacked cause number 10238W on

top of cause number 10085, thereby rejecting the plea bargain agreements,

but he didn't allow Relator to withdraw Relator's   ple~s   of guilty.

     Relator will show this Court that Judge Lindsey didn't even have the

right to proceed on cause number 10238W at the time in this cause number

10238W until it was consolidated by Relator waiving Relator's rights to be

first indicted by the grand-jury, pursuant to the plea baigain agreements

of concurrent sentences of probations of four (4) years.Relator wouldn't

have waived indictment by the grand-jury unless the two cases were

consolidated, cause number''s 10085 and 10238W to be tried together, at the

same time, so Relator could receive concurrent sentences.

     The pleas were involuntary because they were based on an assurance

from Judge Lindsey that he eould only assess punishment of two (2) Four

(4) year sentences that he would run concurr~ntly together probated.

     On Appeal even though Relator filed a Pro Se brief on Appeal it was

never considered on its merits because the Court of Appeals found in
Page 17.

in accordance with Relator's attorney's brief he obtain a favorable

decision in which the cumulation and stacking of Relator's sentence     ~n

cause number 10238W was found to be ineffective and ordered to be deleted

therefrom. Thereby reforming the sentences to run concurrently. Gordon vs.

State, 575 S.W.2d 529, at 534 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978).

     Relator's brief was found to be without merit because in the above

Court's opinion the Court deleted and reformed the sentences.Sb, at that

time Relator was receiving the sentences concurrently, so Relator wasn't

going to suffer no prejudicial harm. So Relator's brief went without the

unkept plea bargain claim by Relator ever being considered.

     However, it must be remember that the State was granted a Motion for

Rehearing and the Court of Criminal Appeals in it's original opinion

declaring the cumulation order invalid and reforming the sentence is set

aside and the judgments including the cumulation orders are now affirmed.

Gordon vs. State, 575 S.W.2d 529, at 534-535 (Tex. Cr. App.1979).

     Counsel Jeffrey A. Kearney abandoned Relator on   App~al   and did not

advise Relator of the right to discretionary review by the Court of

Criminal Appeals.

     Relator was left with just filing the first habeas corpus Application

arguing unkept plea bargain agreements.

     It must be remembered the State district attorney mislead the Court in

his response to the writ, by asking this Court to cite Relator for writ

abuse and arguing to the Court of Criminal Appeals that Relator's claims

had already been heard on Appeal and that Coprt found the claims to be

without merit and asking the Court to cite relator for writ abuse, which

the Court did, and left Relator without Relator's claims of a unkept plea

bargain agreements ever being address on there merits.

     Relator would point out in Ex Parte Torres,943 S.W.2d 469 (Tex. Cr.
Page 18.

App.1997), and Ex Parte Thomas,953 S.W. 2d 286 (Tex. Cr. App. 1997),the

Court has made clear that no final disposition unrelated to the merits

and that never addressed the merits of the grounds raised in Relator's

previous Pro Se brief on Appeal or Relator's first application for writ

of habeas corpus which ended in Relator being cited for writ abuse and

the Court's never hearing none of Relator's writs, which there was no

final disposition of Relator's initial writ application and in relation

with Tex. Code. Crim. Proc. 11.07 Section 4 does not bar this Court from

addressing the merits of this instant application for mandamus, habeas

corpus to take whatever action it deems appropriate to address the claims

raised by this Relator in accordance to the Tex. Code. Crim. Proc. Art.

11.07     3(C).

        These above cited cases entitled Relator to ONE BITE AT THE APPLE,

THEY clearly contemplated that bite would be a full one. Relator hasn't

had no bite at any previously filed Pro Se Brief's on Appeal or any 11.07

postconviction application for writ of habeas corpus, because the Court's

denied relief on procedural defaulted grounds.Relator has had no bite at

the apple. See also Ex Parte RawhiHson, 958 S.W.2d 198 (Tex. Cr. App.1997).

        In Relator's initial application for writ of habeas corpus all claims

were not addressed on their merits. Relator meets the exceptions to

dismissal.

        Relator would also point out to this Court of Criminal Appeals,that

the instant application should not be barred as a ''subsequent application

under the Texas Code Criminal Procedure, Article 11.07, Section 4,

because Relator did not become aware of the facts giving rise to the

instant application until several years later after theinitial applications.

        This Court initially addresses whether the instant application is

barred as a ''Subsequent application'', under Section 4, or whether it falls
within an exception to such bar Section 4 provides, in relevant part.
Page 19.

     (a) If a subsequent application for writ of an initial application,

challenging the same conviction, a Court may not consider the merits of

or grant relief based on the subsequent application unless the application

contains sufficient specific facts establishing that: (1) the current claim

and issues have not and could not have been presented previously in an

original application or in a previously considered application filed under

this article because the factual or legal basis for the claim was unavailable

on the date the applicant filed the previous application.

     (C) for purposes of subsection (a)(1), a factual basis of a calim is

unavailable on or before a date described by subsection (a)(1)if the

factual basis was not ascertainable through the exercise of reasonable

diligence on or before that date. Tex. Code. Criminal Procedure Article

11.07, 4.

     Relator asserts that the Court's of Appeals relied upon Caughorn vs.

State, 549 S.W. 2d 196 (Tex. Cr. App. 1977), which held      th~t   the State's

failure to file notice of consolidation in compliance with section 3.02(b),

meant the action did not constitute a single criminal action under section

3.02. Therefore the prohibition against cumulation provided in Section 3.03

did not apply. See also Garza vs. State,687 S.W.2d 325 (Tex. Cr. App.1985);

Smith vs. State, 575 S.W.2d 41 (Tex. Cr. App. 1979).

     However~    Relator would call the Court's attention to the case of

La Porte vs. State, 840 S.W. 2d 412, at 413-414 (Tex. Cr. App. 1992),

wherein the Court of Criminal Appeals found that this conclusion was

clearly erroneous, and overrule Coughorn. See La Porte vs. State, 840

S.W.2d     412, 413-415 (Tex. Cr. App.1992).

     Relator    cont~nds   theres been a intervening change in the law.See

La Porte vs. State, 840 S.W.2d 412,413-415 (Tex. Cr. App. 1992).

     A sentence not authorized by law is void. Heath vs. State,817 S.W.
Page 20.
2d 335 (Tex. Cr. App. 1991); See also Wilson vs. State,677 S.W.2d 518

(Tex. Cr. App. 1994). A defect which renders a sentence void may be raised

at any time. Ex Parte MciVer,586 S.W.2d 851,854 (Tex. Cr. App. 1979);

Ex Parte Shields, 550 S.W.2d 670, 675 (Tex. Cr. App. 1977).

     Relator has always complained to this Court that Relator had a Plea

bargain agreement for two (2) four (4) year sentences that would run

concurrently, and in which would be suspended and probated. Relator raised

the claim of the unkept plea bargain by Pro Se Brief on direct Appeal.

Hhich was never considered on Appeal due to the Court of Criminal Appeals

setting asside the cumulation order and deleting it as ineffective. However,

on rehearing by the State it was restacked and Relator has did the whole

sentences as stacked and Relator has suffered the full prejudicial harm by

this cumulation order on rehearing. See Gordon vs. State, 575 S.W.2d 529,

at 534-535 (Tex. Cr. App. 1979). Relator therefore concludes that the

correct thing for this Court to rule is that Relator is entitled to relief

pursuant to the cases of La Porte vs. State, 840 S.W.2d 412 (Tex. Cr.App.

1992), and Ex Parte Sims,868 S.W.2d 803 (Tex. Cr. App. 1993), and Ex Parte

McJunkins, 954 S.W.2d 39, 39~43 (Tex. Cr. App. 1997).

     Relator contends that he should be heard on these matters and Relator's

convictions in cause number 10085 and 10238W should be found in error and

grant Relator reversal of these convictions and set them for retrial.

     Relator would also contend that this Court of Criminal Appeals should

also set asside Relator's sentence in cause number 22778 as a void

conviction may not be used to enhance an individual's sentence under the

Texas Statute. Burgett vs. State of Texas, 389 U.S.109, 112-13, 88 S.Ct. 258,

260·-61,19 L.Ed. 2d 319 (1967). See also Martinez vs. Estelle,612 F.2d 173,

175 (5th Cir 1980), as Relator also claims that Relator's Counsel Larry M.

Thompson at the 1980 trial was ineffective because he failed to investigate
the validity of Relator's 1977 convictions, and that he wrongly advised
Page 21.

Relator to plea true to the enhancement counts of cause number 10085 and

10238W without explaining to Relator what the plea .of true intended and

it's consequence and failed to investigate the void convictions and he

allowed Relator to be enhanced by the prosecutor whom used the 1977

convictions for enhancement when he should have known that they were

void convictions. See Cook vs. Lynaugh,821 F.2d 1072 (5th Cir. 1987); See

also La Porte vs. State, 840 S.W.2d 412 (Tex. Cr. App. 1992).

     And lastly, Relator's sentence in cause number 13~472, should also

be reversed for resentence, as Relator was wrongly enhanced by cause

number's 10085 and 10238W as they are void convictions pursuant to La Porte

vs. State,840 S.W. 2d 412 (Tex. Cr. App. 1992), and Ex Parte Sims,868 S.W.

2d 803 (Tex. Cr. App. 1993), and Ex Parte McJunkins,954 S.W. 2d 39,39-43

(Tex. Cr. App.1997); See also Martinez vs. Estelle,612 F.2d 173,175 (5th

Cir. 1980); See also Spencer vs. Texas,385 U.S.554~ 87 S.Ct. 648,17 L.Ed.

2d 606 (1967).

     In Ex Patte Stuart, 653 S.W. 2d 13, the defendant challenged

conviction, and the prior convictions used to enhance it, through

numberous applications for writ of habeas corpus Id. At one point,we

cited Stuart for abuse of the writ process Id. Seven years after his

conviction, Stuart, again sought habeas relief challenging the use of

the prior conviction       to enhance his sentences. Id. at 14. We found

that Stuart's claims had merit in light of changes in the law following

our affirmance of his conviction. Id. We then held that under Cooper vs.

State, 631 S.W.2d 508 (Tex. Cr. App. 1982), and Ex Parte Augusta, 639 S.W.

2d 481 (Tex. Cr. App. 1982), Stuart was entitled to relief retroactively.Id.
653 S.H. 2d at 14 .. 15.

     Thus it is readily apperent in light of Schuessler and Stuart, that

previous litigation of the issue does not necessarily bar it's reconsideration
Page 22.
on habeas corpus. See Ex Parte Drake, 883 S.W.2d 213 (Tex. Cr.App.1994).

See also Ex Parte Lemke, 13 S.W.3d 791 (Tex. Cr. App. 2000).

         Relator has wailed like a stuck pig for years Hhile this Court has

denied Relator an opportunity to be heard by this Court on Relator's

convictions in cause number 10085 and cause number 10238W, as being a

         The Coprt's have performed such serious surgery on the great Hrit,as

it applies to postconviction habeas corpus proceedings.

         This Court should not forget what the Supreme Court of the United

States previously pointed out in construing the habeas corpus statutes.
         ;'While the rhetoric   celebrating habeas corpus has changed little over

the centuries. (footnrite deleted), it is neverthe less true that the functions

of the writ have undergone drastic change ...

which must retain the ability to cut through barriers of form and

procedural mazes': (Citations Omitted). The very nature of the writ demands

that it be administered essential to irisure that miscarriages of justice

within it's reach are surfaced and corrected. (Citation deleted). Thus He

have consistently rejected interpretations of the habeas corpus statutes

that would suffocate the writ in stifling formalisms or hobble its

effectiveness with the manacles of arcane and scholastic procedural

requirement". Hensley vs. Municipal Court, 411 U.S. 345, 93 S.Ct. 1571,

36 L. Ed 2d 294 (1973).

         Our habeas corpus law(s) has always been available to obtain release

of any one who is unlawfully restrained of his liberty. See also Ex Parte

     As there are no time restrictions on a lawsuit of this kind, Relator

may apply for the writ any time Relator feels the burden of         multiple

convictions are more than Relator can bear.

     Relator requests that this Court grant the Mandamus     1   and application

for writ of habeas corpus; order Respondent to show cause why Relator

should not be set at liberty; give a plenary hearing to determine the

facts; and order production by the State of such documentation as may be

necessary for the proper determination of this cause. Relator further

prays that after determining the facts herein, the Court order Relator

freed from further restraints upon his liberty, order cause number 10085

and cause number 10238W reversed for a new trial in each case and order

Relator's sentences in cause number's 22778 and   13,L~72   reversed for       new

sentencing hearing in cause number 22778 and cause number 13,472 and order

Relator completely discharged from illegal custody of all Court's and

cause numbers and end Relator's illegal confinement from any further

custody or confinement.

                         This is an application for a writ of habeas corpus which was

            submitted to this Court by                       th~      trial court pursuant to the provi-

            sions of Art. 11.07, V.A.C.C.P.                              Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824
             (Tex.Cr.App. 1967).

                         In 1977, the applicant was convicted of the offenses of

            unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and theft in Tarrant County

            cause numbers 10085 and 10238W.                              Punishment was assessed at impri-.

            sonment for                 four      years in each case.                    These convictions were

            affirmed on direct appeal.                           Gordon v. State, 575 S.W.2d 529

             (Tex.Cr.App. 1978).                    In 1981, the applicant was convicted of the

            offense of.credit card abuse in Tarrant County cause number 22778.
            Punishment, enhanced by proof of the prior conviction for

            unauthorized of a motor vehicle, was assessed at imprisonmeni for
            20 years.                This conviction was affirmed on direct appeal.                                                                    Gordon

            v. State, 638 S.W.2d 654 (Tex.App.--Ft. Worth, 1983).

                        In his present application, the applicant contends that there

            was a bona fide doubt as to his competence to stand trial in 1977,
            as well as to his sanity at the time of those offenses.                                                                               This

            application, however, presents a more serious question.                                                                               This
            Court's records reflect that, in addition to his direct appeals,

            the applicant has filed five previous applications challenging

            one or more of these convictions.

                        It is obvious from the record that the applicant is con-

            tinuing to raise issues which have been presented and rejected or

            should have been presented on direct appeal and in his prior writs.

EX PARTE GORDON     (P;;;.ge -2-]


       We hold that the applicant's contention is not only without
merit, but has been waived and abaondoned by his abuse of the writ                    \
of habeas corpus.
       Therefore, the Honorable Thomas Lowe, Clerk of the Court of
Criminal Appeals, is not to accept or file the instant application
for a writ of l}a,peas corpus.      He is also instructed not to accept
in the future any applications for writ of habeas corpus                  att~cking

these convictions unless the applicant has first shown that any
contentions presented have not been raised previously and a showing
is made that they could not have been presented in any earlier
           .                         1/

    In Ex parte Dora, supra, this Court expla~ned the duty of the
       trial court ~fter the entry of an abuse order as follows:
            Where a petitioner has been previously cited for
            11


           an 'abuse of the Great Writ, • the trial court
           should not thereafter consider the merits of any
           application for writ of habeas corpus filed by
           that petitioner. The trial court should, however,
           review the application and make findings that this
           petitioner has abused the writ in the past, thus
           making the review procedure of this Court more
           efficient. The transcript should be forwar.ded to
           this Court, just as in all other cases, pursuant to
           our automatic review jurisdi~tion. SeP Ar~. 11.07,
           Sec. 2 (d), supra. The wri.t· i:!"an~n;r·ipt--should, of
           course,. be forwaJ::ded to· this Court within fifteen
           days of the trial court's order. See Art. 11.07,
           Sec. 2(c), supra, ..

      These plea bargain agreemettts were consolidated and tried at the same
time as Relator plead guilty to both offenses at the same time in         ~ause

number's 10085 and 10238W. To provide evidence of this fact Relator would
point 'this Court to the faet in ord$r for Judge Lindsey to be able to
consolidate these cause number•s 10085 and cause number 10238W.· Relator
had to waive Relatol:''s rights to indictment    in   which Relator did in    ord~r

to recive the two cause's 10085 and 10238W to be tried together at the
·same time, so Relator could reeeive·concurrent setenees otherwise Relator
would not of waived Relator's rights to be indicted first before the Court
could. proceed on both cause's 10085 and 102389, as the Court lacked
jurisdietion for: trial of both cause's at that time. Relator would fuetber
argue to this Court that Relator is actually innocent of committing these
offenses of Theft in cause number 10238W and Unauthorize Use of a Motor
Veb~cle   tn cause number 10085.
      Relator would show this Court that ·beeause of the serious eollateral
consequenees arising from a conviction fo11 felony theft the doetri·ne of
mootness does not prohibit this eollateral      attao.~.   See Ex Parte Guzman,

         the 12th Judicial District Court of Walker County, Texas, upon plea of

             Finally, we have reviewed the Appellant's P~o Se allegations and we find

 WRIT NO. 10,271                                               From TARR~NT Co~~ty


                                           0 R D E R


         This is an application for a writ of habeas corpus which was

 submitted to this Court by th~ trial court pursuant to the provi-

 sions of Art. 11.07, V.A.C.C.P.                         Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824.

  (Tex.Cr.App. 1967).

         In 1977, the applicant was convicted of the offenses of
                                                                       .,

 unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and theft in .Tarrant County

 cause numbers 10085 and 10238W.                         Punishment
                                                                 . r'·
                                                                       was assessed at impri- .

 sonment for          four          years in each case.          These convictions were
 affirmed on direct appeal.                  Gordon v. State, 575 S.W.2d 529

 (Tex.cr.App. 1978).                  In 1981, the applicant was convicted of the

 offense of.credit card abuse in Tarrant County cause number 22778.

 Punishment, enhanced by proof of the prior conviction for
 unauthorized of ·a motor vehicle, was assessed at imprisonment for

 20 years.        This conviction was affirmed on direct appeal.                                     Gordon
 v. State, 638 S.W.2d 654 (Tex.App.--Ft. Worth, 1983).

         In his present application, the applicant contends that there

was a bona fide doubt as to his competence to stand trial in 1977,
                                                                                         •,'
 as well as to hiS sanity at the time of those offenses.                                           This
 application, however, presents a more serious question.                                           This
Court's records reflect that, in addition to his direct appeals,

 the applicant has filed five previous applications challert'ging

 one or more of these convictions.

         It is obvious from the record that'the applicant is con-

 tinuing to raise issues which have been presented and                                ~ejeg~ed                or
                                                                                               \


 should have been presented on dir.act appeal and in his prior· writs.

                                        that petitioner. The trial court should, however,
                                        review the application and make findings that this

      Relator has exhausted all remedies and has no other adequate remedy

at law.

      The act sought to be compelled is ministering not discretionary in

nature. Braxton vs. Dun~.··803 S.l:7.2d 318    7   320 (Tex. Cr. App. 1991). An act

is ministerial ' 1when the lav1 clearly spells out the duty· to be performed ...

with such certainty that nothing is left to the exercise of discretion or



(Tex. Cr. App. 1981).

   The Court of Criminal Appeals and each iudge thereof shall have~ and

Subsection C.
                                         IV,
           HISTORY OF THE STATE'S CASE AND IN CUSTODY REQUIREMENT

      Relator was convicted in cause number 10085 and 10238W in which

Relator plprl. euil ty to the two cause's in exchange for two ( 2) . f om:- ( 4)

year sentenceR to be rAn concurrently, that would be probated.

      Jurl.gp Lindsey personally pArticipated in the plea bargaining processes.

Relator was told by Judge Lindsey that is he decided at any timej thRt he

was going to    ~ejAct   the plea bargain agreements, that Relator would he
a]lowed, Rnd shall he permitted to withdraw RelAtor's pleas of gtiilty,

However, At the point in which Judge Lindsey         hear~   the revocation af

probation hearing he stacked cause number 10218W on top of cause number
10085" thereby rejecting the plea bargain agreements.
Page 3.

     These plea bargain agreements were consolidated and tried at the same

time as Relator plead guilty to both offenses at the same time in cause

number's 10085 and 10238W. To provide evidence of this fact Relator wo~ld

point this Court to the fact in order for Judge Lindsey to be able to

consolidate these cause number 1 s 10085 and cause number 10238W, Relator

had to waive Relator's rights to indictment in which Relator did in order

to recive the two cause's 10085 and 10238W to be tried together at the

same time, so Relator could receive concurrent   set~nces   otherwise Relator

would not of waived Relator's rights to be indicted first before the Court

could proceed on both cause's 10085 and 10238W, as the Court lacked

jurisdiction for trial of both cause's at that, time. Relator would fuEther

argue to this Court that Relator is actually innocent of committing these

offenses of Theft in cause number 10238W and Unauthorize Use of a Motor

Vehicle in cause number 10085.

     Relator would show this Court that because of the serious collateral

conseauences arising from a conviction for felony theft the doctrine of

mootness does not prohibit this collateral attack. See Ex Parte Guzman,

551 S.W.2d 387 (Tex. Cr. App.1977); Ex Parte Burt, 499 S.W.2d 109 (Tex Cr.

App. 1973); Ex Parte Jentsch,510 S.W.2d 320 (Tex. Cr. App. 1974); Ex Parte

Langston, 510 S.W. 2d 603 (Tex. Cr. App. 1974);See also Ex Parte Harp, 561

S.W. 2d 180 (Tex. Cr .. App. 1978).

     Relator would contend that it is well settled that a habeas corpus
                                                       1
Application Applicant meets the statutory "in cus tody 'requirements when, at

the time he files the petition he is in custody pursuant to the conviction he

attacks or he is in custody pursuant to another conviction that is positively

and demonstrably related to the convictions he attacks. See Carter vs.

Procunier, 755 F.2d 1126 (5th Cir. 1985); See also Carter vs. Estelle, 677

F. 2d 427 (5th Cir. 1982).
Page 4.

        Relator would assert that Relator is confined pursuant to a May 20th

1986~    conviction for aggravated assault in cause number 13,472, wherein

the 12th Judicial District Court of Walker County, Texas, upon plea of

not guilty and jury trial, Relator was found guilty and punishment was

assessed by the jury at 99 years imprisonment and ordered to run

consecutively with the sentence Relator was assessed upon conviction for

credit card abuse of 20 years imprisonment as punishment in cause number

22778. Therefore, Relator's present confinement is set at 119 years

imprisonment. Punishment enhanced by proof of the prior convictions in

cause number 10085 and cause number 10238W in both convictions in cause

nufub~rs 22778 and in cause number 13,472, that Relator is now confined on.

        However, in cause number 22778, Relator plead true to the enhancement
Count's cause number 10085 and cause number 10238W. Therefore, Relator

would show that Counsel at the 1981 trial was ineffective because he failed

to investigate the validity of Relator's 1977 convictions that the prosecutor

used the 1977 convictions for enhancement counts when he should have known

that it was void .. See. V.T.C.A.Penal Code 3.03.

        A defendant may not by agreement render legal a punishment which is

not otherwise authorized by law. Heath vs. State, 817 S.W.2d 335 (Tex. Cr.
                                                    1
App. 1991). In circumstances such as Relator's ' sentences shall run

concurrently~      V.T.C.A.Penal Code 3.03. This language creates an absolute

restriction-of a trial Court's general authority to impose consecutive
             ,·
sentences. See Wilson vs. State,677 S.W.2d 518 (Tex. Cr. App. 1984). A

defect which renders a sentence void may be raised at any time. Ex Parte

Mcjver,586 S_.W.2d 851, 854 (Tex. Cr. App. 1979); Ex Parte Shields, 550

S.W.2d 670   1    675 (Tex. Cr. App.1977).

        Clearly, La Porte vs. State,840 S.W. 2d 412 (Tex. Cr. App. 1992), Leaves

no doubt, on the State of the law in this area of the law.

had a plea bargain for concurrent sentences in cause No's. 10085 and
                                                 11

purposes. Clearly Relator is entitled to reversal of the convictions and
sentences.
     Relator suggests the proper remedy in cause number's 10085 and 10238W
should be found to be void under La Porte vs. State, 840 S.W.2d 412 (Tex.
Cr. App. 1992); and Ex.Parte Sims 868 S.W.2d 803 (Tex. Cr. App. 1993); And
Ex Parte McJunkins,954 S.W.2d 39-43 (Tex. Cr. App. 1997), and remand
back to the trial Court for new tiial, relying on these above described
Court decisions and in cause number's 22778 and -13,472 these sentence's
should be reversed for resentence without the void convictions 10085 and
10238W being used for enhancement Counts purposes. As a matter of the law.

       A EXAMINATION OF THE ATTACHMENT Exhibit                 B" is a affidavit of

Charley Valdez, at page 2 at the bottom of the page is a record of

Offender Robert Gordon TDCJ-ID#319173 time earning status's to show

promotion and demotion dates:: ;,\iJhich shows Relator was be tv1een 11-23 ·~

1978 to 06-13-1982 a S4 Trusty Line          Class~   54 Status earns 30 days for
every 30 days done and earns additionally another 30 days good time. A

total of 60 days for time earning status, Time line class which equals

all time earn for that period. This chart in this box also shows

from   10~05-1982   to 05-22-1983 that Relator was Line class 3, which does

not earn any time of good time status, this time period only earns day

for day time earning status, which means no good time earn. The chart

further shows that Relator was Line 2 status from 05-23-1983 to 07-09-1983,

this time earning status earns day for day with only 10 days added for

good time status. A line I Status earns every 30 days he receives 20 days

goo.d, time earning status. The "B" Status earns a extra 10 days for ever'·y

30 days that Relator is Line I Status.

       Clearly, there is a chart showing that Relator was continually

confined between 11-23-1978 to 03-28-07. Which shows Relator discharged

the original 1977 convictions and the 1980 conviction up to the date

and begain serving the 1984 conviction up to the date Relator is still

confined under.

       The chart above described clearly shovJs Relator completed the tvlO

four (4) year sentences as stack by Judge Lindsey. Therefore, Relator suffer

the punishment of the prejudicial stacking of the two four (4) year sentences

and Relator has completed doing the eight (8) years sentence in full.

       Therefore, Relator seeks to withdraw Relator's pleas of guilty in
cause number's 10085 and 10238W and be able to plea again, Anew to not

guilty in accordance to the prejudicial punishment of the Eight           ~ears

that Relator had to do, in violatiorr'of Relator's original plea bargain

agreements of the (2) four (4) year coricurrent sentencing. La Porte vs.

State, 840 S.W.2d 412 (Tex. Cr. App. 1992); and Ex Parte Sims,868 S.W.

2d 803 (Tex. Cr. App. 1993); And Ex Parte McJunkin~,954 S.W.2d 39-43

(Tex. Cr. App. 1997).

     Relator was cited for abuse       ~f   the writ process pursuant to an order

of the Court of Criminal Appeals, pn May 25th,1983. Said Order is attached

as Exhibit "C", incorporated herein for all purposes.

     Relator states that, as set out in Relator's original Application for

habeas corpus, Relator has not been provided with the opportunity to.

challenge the earlier convictions in number's 10085 and 10238W, on the

issues now presented due to the fact that the only issue on Relator's prior

Appeal proffered by Counsel Jeffrey A. Kearney was the issue of the Judge's

authority to cummulate Relator's sentences. In th:ls Appeal Counsel Jeffrey

A. Kearney received a proitable decision by the C6urt of Criminal Appeals

in it's opini6n by the Court ordering the cumulation reci~als in the

sentences in cause number 10238W are ineffective and' are therefore ordered

deleted therefrom, under the Court's decision in Ex Parte Reynolds,462 S.W.

2d 605 (Tex. Cr. App. 1970). However, the Court didn't stop there,it went on

to state:   11
                 Finally ~ we have revievJed the Appellant's pro se allegations

and we find them to be without merit~ See Gordon vs. Stat~ 575 S.W.2d

529, at 534 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978).

     Relator raised in Relator's Prom Se allegations the           ~onviction   and

sentences 'i.vere based on ''Unkept Plea Bargain Agreements 1' .

     Relator would further show the .Court that Relator filed two (2) writ's
of habeas corpus while Appeal was still pending before the Court of
Page 8.

Criminal Appeals, which Judge Lindsey ordered Relator's two (2) writs of

habeas corpus to be forwarded to the Court of Criminal Appeals to be

treated as pro se brief's on Appeal, per order of the Judge Lindsey.

     Upon review of these Pro Se Brief's on Appeal, because the Court

of Criminal Appeals entered into a judgment in Relator's behalf by

ordering the cumulation of cause number 10238W as being ineffective and

therefore ordered deleted therefrom, and ordering the reformation of the

sentences of cause number's 10085 and 10238W to be ran concurrently. See

Gordon vs. State,575 S.W.2d 529, at 534 (Tex. App~ 1978).

     Relator's pro se brief's were never reached on there merits because

the Court of Appeals was ordering the reformation of the stacking order

of the Court Judge Lindsey. See Gordon vs. State, 575     s~w.   2d 529, at

534 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978), and this is why the Cou~t found Relator's        11
                                                                                Unkept

plea bargain agreement claims in the pro se brief's to be without merit,

because the Court of Criminal Appeals was reforming the stacking of the

sentences".

     So, Relator didn't suffer no prejudice, as Relator was having R~lator's

original plea bargain agreement enforc€d by the Court of Criminal Appeals

ordering the reformation of the sentences of cause number 10085 and

10238\-J to be ran concurrently. Gordon vs. State,575   s. vJ. 2d 529, at 534
(Tex. Cr. App. 1978).

     HovJever, the State filed a Motion for Rehearing vJi thin the Texas
Page 9.

     Relator has did the full sentences as stacked   ~nd   has fully completed

the sentences as stacked due to the Court of Criminal Appeals opinion and

decision. See Gordon vs. State,575 S.W.2d 529, at 534-535 (Tex. Cr. App.

1979). So, Relator has suffered the prejudicial harm of the Court of

Criminal Appeals opinion and decision on rehearing. See also Exhibit

the affidavit of Valdez.

     Relator would further point out to the Court that on direct Appeal

Counsel Jeffrey A. Kearney completely abandoned Relator on Appeal when he

received the proitable decision by the Court of Criminal Appeals in its

opinion. However, on State's granted Motion for Rehearing and the Court of

Criminal Appeals decision in restacking the sentences. Gordon vs. State,

575 S.W. 2d 529, at 534-535 (Tex. Cr. App. 1979).

     Counsel Jeffrey A. Kearney merely sent Relator the Court's decision,

with a letter of the opinion and never advised Relator of the rights to

file a Motion for discretionary review, thereby, denying Relator of the

right to do so and just merely abandoned Relator.

     Relator due to the Court's never reaching the ~'Unkept Plea bargain

issueli raised by Relator. Relator filed the first application for writ of

habeas corpus in the 3rd Judicial District Court of Tarrant County, Texas.

     The assistant district attorney in Fort \-Jorth, Texas, filed a

writ response to Relator~s first writ of habeas corpus filed and heard as

a writ of habeas corpus and attached a copy of Relator's two writs of habeas

corpus that were forwarded to .the Court of Criminal Appeals to be consider

as Pro Se brief's on Appeal, which went without being actually heard on oits

merits because the Court's order reforming the sentence pursuant to attorney

Jeffrey A. Kearney's brief on Appeal receiving a favorable Court of

Criminal Appeals decision. See Gordon vs. State,575 S.W;2d 529, at 531-

534 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978).
     The Assistant District Attorney in Fort Harth, Texas, attached a copy
     Page 10.
     of Relator's Pro Se brief's on Appeal and pointed to the Opinion of the

     Court of Criminal Appeals \vherein the Court stated that Relator's Pro Se

     brief on Appeal was without merit and argued that the Court should cite

     Relator for abuse of the writ of habeas corpus because Relator has already

     addressed Relator's claims on Appeal and the Court of Criminal Appeals

     has found them to be without merit and Relator is again attempting to have

     the same claims heard again after they have already been heard and denied

     and found to be without merit by the Court of Criminal Appeals. The

     assistant district attorney ''played the district Court Judge and the Court

     of Criminal Appeals''r by these arguments and committed fraud on the Court in

~·
     '.vhich the assistant district attorney acted vlith a intentional ill motive
                                                                    11
     which should not have pass even the most lenient ethical            smell   test'} He

     clearly bypassed questions of ethic's in a effort to gain advantage in this

     litigation. He clearly acted in bad faith and ignored the facts of the true

     reasons in why Relator's Pro Se brief's on Appeal were found to be without

     merit by the Court of Criminal Appeals     de~ision   and opinion in which the

     Court of Criminal Appeals was ordering, the cumulation recitals in the

     sentence in cause number 10238W to be ineffective and therefore ordered it

     deleted therefrom. As, the next     statem~nt   by the Court of Criminal Appeals:

     Finally   1
                   we have reviewed the Appellant's ProSe allegations and we find

     them to be.without merit, but this finding was made because Relator

     received a favorable decision on Appeal by the unstacking order. See Gordon

     vs. State, 575 S.W.2d 529, at 531-534 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978).

          Furthermore, the Assistant district attorney also gain advantage by

     his false arguments to the Court of Criminal Appeals by that Court citing

     Relator for writ abuse in Relator's first writ of habeas corpus that was

     considered at that time and Realobas been denied the ability to ever

     file another writ of habeas corpus since the Assistant district attorney
     made his fraudulent arguments that got the Court of Criminal Appeals to cite

                                                                             11
Relator for writ abuse. See prior 'i.vrit abuse attached hereto as Exhibit        C"

incorporated herein for all purposes.

     Subsequently, the State filed a Motion for rehearing within the Texas

Court of Criminal Appeals under the Rules, ordered a rehearing on the

State's filed Motion for rehearing. The rehearing was granted, and that

part of the original opinion declaring the cumulation set aside is now

reversed and the judgment including the cumulation order are now affirmed.

See Gordon vs. State,575 S.W.2d 529, at 534-535 (Tex. Cr. App. 1979).

     Relator would argue to the Court that the rehearing the Court of

Criminal Appeals entered into error by. relying on Spencer vs. State, 503

S.W.2d 557 (Tex. Cr. App. 1974), and Ex Parte Crawford, 36 Tex. Cr. App.

180, 36 ~.w. 92 (1896); Ex P~rte March, 423 S.W. 2d 916 (Tex. Cr. App.1Yb8),

And~Ex Parte Davis, 542 S.W.2d 117 (Tex. Cr. App. 1976).

     Relator contends that the trial Court erred in cumulating the sentences

because concurrent sentences are mandated by Tex. Penal Code Ann. 3.UJ (Ver-

non's 1974):

               Section 3.03 provides:

                Hhen the accused is tound guilty or more than
                one offense, arising out of the same criminal
                episode prosecuted in a single criminal action,
                sentences tor each offense for which he has
                been found guilty shall be prononced. Such
                sentences shall run concurrently.

     The Court of Criminal Appeals on rehearing erred in   th~a   it relied on

outdated cases and law ...

     Relator would show the Court where a trial Judge's cumulates and

does increase punishment after revocation, an additional issue is presented:

Whether an increase ih punishment after revocation violates due process

under North Carolina vs. Pearce, 395 U.S.711, 89 S.Ct. 2072, 23 L.Ed. 2d

656 (1969). Cf. Bovie vs. State,5b5 S.W.2d 543 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978);Lechuga
vs. State,)32 S.W.2d 581 (Tex. Cr. App. 1975).
Page 12.

     The .Court of Criminal Appeals additionally stated in La Porte vs.

State, 840 ~.w.2d 412 ~~ex. Cr. App. 1Y92) that:

                          "An improper cumulation order is, in
                           essence, a void sentence, ana such
                           error cannot be waived. A derect
                           which renders a sentence void may
                           be ra~sed at any time. Levy vs.

                           1991).

     The La   ~orte,   Court further recognized that it had vacated improper

cumulation orders presented for tne. first time in Postc6nviction writs of

habeas corpus. La Porte,Supra, tootnote 5. See Ex Parte       Ashe~   641S.W.2d

Ex Parte McJunkins,954 s.W.2d 39, 39-43     ~Tex.   Cr. Hpp.1997).

     Kelator contends that as a matter of the law the trial Court, as w~il

the C6urt of Criminal Appeals has erred in cumulating the sentences

l;>ecause concurrent sentences are mandated by Tex. Penal Code. Ann. 3.03

(Vernon's 1974), as a matter of law. See La Porte vs. State,840 S.W.2d 412

(Tex. Cr. App. 1992); Ex Parte Sims,868 S.W.2d 803 (Tex. Cr. App. 1993),

and Ex Parte McJunkins? 954 S. tJ. 2d 39, 39-43 (Tex. Cr. App. 1997), in which

Relator relies and is entitled to as a matter of law.

     Relator's convictions should be voided and Relator returned to the

trial Court to face these charges again, as Relator's plea bargain

agreements were violated by the Court and Relator has _already did the

sentences, as cumulated against Relator in cause number's 10085 and

10238W. Relator has suffered the prejudicial harm of the stacking of the

sentences. Relator should be able to withdraw the pleas of guilty, as

Relator was told he would be allowed to do, if Judge Lindsey didn't

except the pleas of guilty. Relator is entitled to relief under Ex Parte
Sims, 868 S.W.2d 803, at 804-805 (Tex. Cr. App. 1993); Ex Parte McJunkins,
Page 13.

954 S.W.2d 39,39-43 (Tex. Cr. App. 1997).

      Relator attempted to file another application for    w~it   of habeas

corpus when Relator came accross the case of La Porte vs. State, 840

S.W. 2d 412 (Tex. Cr. App. 1992), and arguing to the Court that their .has

been a intervening change in the lmv which should allow Relator the

consideration of another application for writ of habeas corpus. However, the

Court again refused to hear; and intertain the claim for relief that Relator

should be entitled to by the Court of Criminal Appeals.

      The Court should relize that there is no new habeas corpus claim when

a Applicant merely asserts that ··a previous ruling which precluded a merits

determination was in error. There has been no final determination on the

merits of Relator's first application for writ or for that matter there

hasn't been any consideration uridertaken by the Court of Criminal Appeals

under 11.07 that has ever been undertaken by this Court in none of Relator's

prior applications in any convictions in cause number's 10085 and 10238W,

and cause number 22778 and cause number 13,472, on there merits and there

has never been a written response on there    merits~   it always has been 6n

procedural grounds, such as no proper oath being given to the application

which is a requisite to the application. See Code of Criminal Procedural

requisite Article 11.14 (5) or Relator had a direct Appeal pending as

another procedural ground in keeping Relator's applications from being

heard on there merits in any of the above described tauses, as it always

has been Relator's pleadings were deficient as a matter of pleading, and

denial without a v.rri t ten decision. The only reasonable in terpre ta tion of the

denials of Relator's Applications by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals

is   th~t   the Court invoked proceduaral default and did not decide the case

on the merits of the Unkept plea bargain agreements, as pointed out by

Relator.
Page 14.

                     ARTICLE I, SECTION 12 HABEAS CORPUS

     The writ of habeas corpus is a writ of right, and shall never be

suspended. The Legislature shall enact laws to render the remedy speedy

and effectual. See Code Criminal Procedure Article 1.08 and Article 11.07'

Section 4.

     Relator would assert to the Court of Criminal Appeals that in Ex Parte

Torres,943 S.W.2d 469, at 475-476 (Tex. CR. App. 1997); "Because the direct

Appeal record contained insufficient evidence to evaluate the ineffective

assistant of Counsel issue, we hold that the rejection of his claim on

direct appeal does not bar relitigation of his claim on habeas corpus to the

extent that Applicant seeks to gather and introduce additional evidence not

contained in the direct Appeal record".

     Relator has a similar claim of review on Appeal. Relator raised on

Appeal that the ''pleas of guilty were based on Unkept Plea bargain

.agreements''. No evidentiary hearing was ever entertained by the Court to

allow Relator to develope the facts of the record on Appeal. Relator would

point the Court to review Relator's Exhibit "A" a letter written to Relator

by Counsel Art Brender who represented Relator at the plea bargain

undertaken by Judge Lindsey.

     Clearly, a review of exhibit "A" establishes by examination of this

letter that Realator had plea bargain agreements at the time Relator entered

a plea of guilty which Relator was told by Judge Lindsey that he would

except the plea bargain agreements prior to exceptance of the plea by

·Judge Lindsey.

     This letter by Art Brender to Relator shows that upon Judge Lindsey

adding a cumulation order to cause number 10238W and stacking the sentence

on top of cause number 10085, Relator immediately complained to Art Brender

of the unkept plea bargain agreements as the letter was written to Relator
by Art Brender in response to Relator's letter to Art Brender dated
Page 15.

February 23: .. 1978, that he responded to on March 2,197 8, in his response he

makes it clear "the plea bargains in Judge Lindsey's Court were, at that

time, even though not required by law, placed in the record, and the

matters to which you inquire should be a matter of record".See Exhibit "A"

incorporated herein for all purposes.

     Relator would contend Judge Lindsey excepted the plea bargain agreements

at that time and assessed two probations of four (4) years that were running

concurrently.

     As, it is well established that where a trial judge does not order that

two sentences in two different cases shall be cumulative, the terms of

imprisonment automatically run concerrently. Ex Parte Reynolds,462 S.W.2d

605 (Tex. Cr. App. 1970); ·See also Gordon vs State,575 S.W.2d 529,at 532

(Tex. Cr. App. 1978).

     Thus, Relator argues that since the judgments placeing Relator on

probation did not indicate that the sentences were to be cumulated, the

attempted cumulation after revocation is ineffective, as Judge Lindsey

excepted the pleas of guilty for two concurrent sentences, which were

suspended and Relator was placed on probation for four (4) years.

     Rela4lbr would point this Court to examine Exhibit "D" attached hereto
incorporated herein for all purposes. This Exhibit "D" which instrument is

entitled "conditions of Probation, in cause number's 10085 and 10238W,

shows on May 12th, 1977, R~lator was placed on probation f6r a period of

Four (4) years, for. the offenses Theft of property over 200 &, under $10,000

cause number (10238W) and Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle Cause number

(10085) by the Honorable Judge Charles W. Lindsey. Relator was only required

to report to the probation Officer of Tarrant County, Texas on the 6th day of

June, 1977, and on the 6th day each month thereafter, during probation.

Relator was only assessed one court cost and one probation fee by Judge
                                                                                      '   '

Page 16.

Lindsey and this instrument was written by Judge Lindsey and signed by

and signed by Judge Lindsey, himself.

     Clearly, Judge Lindsey excepted the Plea bargain agreements.

     However, Relator's punishment, upon revocation of probation, was in

fact increased to eight (8) years. As such, the trial Judge's actions in

entering a cumulation order violated the plea bargain agreements and

additionally presented issues in: nwhether an increase in punishment after

revocation of punishment violates due process under North Carolina vs.

Pearce   1   395 U.S. 711, 89 S.Ct. 2072, 23 L. Ed. 2d 656 (1969). CF. Bovie,

vs. State, 565 S.W. 2d 543 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978);Lechuga vs. State, 532 S.W.

2d 581 (Tex. Cr. App. 1975).

     Judge Lindsey's revocation hearing, he stacked cause number 10238W on

top of cause number 10085, thereby rejecting the plea bargain agreements,

but he didn't allow Relator to withdraw Relator's pleas of guilty.

     Relator will show this Court that Judge Lindsey didn't.even have the

right to proceed on cause number 10238W at the time in this cause      number~.

10238W until it was consolidated by Relator waiving Relator's rights to be

first indicted by the grand-jury, pursuant to the plea bargain agreements

of concurrent sentences of probatiops of:four (4) years.Relator wouldn't

have waived indictment by the grand-jury unless the two cases were

consolidated, cause number''s 10085 and 10238W to be tried together, at the

same time, so Relator could receive concurrent sentences.

     The pleas were involuntary because they were based on an assurance

from Jud~e Lindsey that he eould only asses~ punishment of two (2) Four

(4) year sentences that he would run concurrently together probated.

     On Appeal even though Relator filed a Pro Se brief on Appeal it was

never considered on its merits because the Court of Appeals found in




                                                                                  /
Page 17.                                   /




in accordance with Relator's attorney's brief he obtain a favorable

decision in which the cumulation and stacking of Relator's sentence in

cause number 10238W was found to be ineffective and ordered to be deleted

therefrom. Thereby reforming the sentences to run concurrently. Gordon vs.

State, 575 S.W.2d 529, ~~ 534 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978).

     Relator's brief was found to be without merit because in the above

Court's opinion the Court deleted and reformed the sentences.So, at that

time Relator was receiving the sentences concurrently, so Relator wasn't

going to suffer no prejudicial harm. So Relator's brief went without the

unkept plea bargain claim by Relator ever being· considered.

     However, it must be remember that the State was granted a Motion for

Rehe~ring   and the Court of Criminal Appeals in it's original opinion

declaring the cumulation order invalid and reforming the sentence is set

aside and the judgments including the cumulation orders are now affirmed.

Gordon vs. State, 575 S.W.2d 529, at 534-535 (TeX.     C~.   App.1979).

     Counsel Jeffrey A. Kearney abandoned Relator on     App~al   and did not

advise Relator of the right to discretionary review by the Court of

Criminal Appeals.

     Relator was left with just filing the first habeas corpus Application

arguing unkept plea bargain agreements.

     It must be remembered the State   distri~t   attorney mislead the Court in

his response to the writ, by asking this Court to cite Relator for writ

abuse and arguing to the Court of Criminal Appeals thai Relator's claims

had already been heard on Appeal and that Coprt found the claims to be

without merit and asking the Court to cite relator for writ abuse, which

the Court did, and left Relator without Relator's claims of a unkept plea

bargain agreements ever being address on there merits.

     Relator would point out in Ex Parte Torres,943 S.W.2d 469 (Tex. Cr.
Page 18.

App.1997), and Ex Parte Thomas,953 S.W. 2d 286 (Tex. Cr. App. 1997),the

Court has made clear that no final disposition unrelated to the merits

and that never addressed the merits of the grounds raised in Relator's

previous Pro Se brief on Appeal or Relator's first application for writ

of habeas corpus which ended in Relator being cited for writ abuse and

the Court's never hearing none of Relator's writs, which there was no

final disposition of Relator's initial writ application and in relation

with Tex. Code. Crim. Proc. 11.07 Section 4 does not bar this Court from

addressing the merits of this instant application for mandamus, habeas

corpus to take whatever action it deems appropriate to address the claims

raised by this Relator in accordance to the Tex. Code. Crim. Proc. Art.

11.07     3(C).

        These above cited cases entitled Relator to ONE BITE AT THE APPLE,

THEY clearly contemplated that bite would be a full one. Relator hasn't

had no bite at any previously filed Pro Se Brief's on Appeal or any 11.07

postconviction application for·writ of habeas corpus, because the Court's

denied relief on procedural defaulted grounds.Relator has had no bite at

the apple. See also Ex Parte RawhiRson, 958 S.W.2d 198 (Tex. Cr. App.1997).

        In Relator's initial application for writ of habeas corpus all claims

were not addressed on their merits. Relator meets the exceptions to

dismissal.

        Relator would also point out to this Court of Criminal Appeals,that

the instant application should not be barred as a "subsequent application

under the Texas Code Criminal Procedure, Article 11.07, Section 4,

because Relator did not become aware of the facts giving rise to the

instant application until several years later after theinitial applications.

        This Court initially addresses whether the instant application is

barred as a ''Subsequent ~pplication'', under Section 4, or whether it falls
within an exception to such bar Section 4 provides, in relevant part.
Page 19.

     (a) If a subsequent application for writ of.~n initial application 1

challenging the same conviction, a Court may not consider the merits of

or grant relief      b~sed   on the subsequent application unless the application

contains s~fficient specific facts establishing that: (1) the current claim

and issues have not and could not have been presented previously in an

original application or in a previously considered application filed under

this article because the factual or legal basis for the claim was.unavailable

on the date    th~   applicant filed the previous application.

     (C) for purposes of subsection (a)(1), a factual basis of a calim is

unavailable on or before a date described by subsection (a)(1)if the

factual basis was not ascertainable through the exercise of reasonable

diligence on or before that date. Tex. Code. Criminal Procedure Article

11.07, 4.

     Relator asserts that the Court's of Appeals relied upon Caughorn vs.

State, 549 S.W. 2d 196 (Tex. Cr. App. 1977), which held that the State's

failure to file notice of consolidation in compliance with section 3.02(b),

meant the action did not constitute a single criminal action under section

3.02. Therefore the prohibition against cumulation provided in Section 3.03

did not apply. See
               .
                   also Garza vs. State,687 S.W.2d
                                               .
                                                   325 (Tex. Cr. Ap~.1985);

Smith vs. State, 575 S.W.2d 41 (Tex. Cr. App. 1979).

     However, Relator would call the Court's attention to the case of

La Porte vs. State, 840 S.W. 2d 412, at 413-414 (Tex. Cr. App. 1992),

wherein the Court of Criminal Appeals found that this conclusion was

clearly erroneous, and overrule Coughorn. See La Porte vs. State, 840

S.W.2d     412, 413-415 (Tex. Cr. App.1992).

     Relator contends theres been a intervening change in the law.See

La Porte vs. State, 840 S.W.2d 412,413-415 (Te2c. Cr. App. 1992).

     A sentence not authorized by law is void. Heath vs. State,817 S.W.
Page 20.
2d 335 (Tex. Cr. App. 1991); See also Wilson vs. State,677 S.W.2d 518

(Tex. Cr. App. 1994). A defect which renders a sentence void may be raised

at any time. Ex Parte Mclver,586 S.W.2d 851,854 (Tex. Cr. App. 1979);

Ex Parte Shields, 550 S.W.2d 670, 675 (Te~. Cr. App. 1977).

     Relator has always complained to this Court that Relator had a Plea

bargain agreement for two (2) four (4) year sentences that would run

concurrently, and in which would be suspended and probated. Relator raised

the claim of the unkept plea bargain by Pro Se Brief on direct Appeal.

Hhich was never considered on Appeal due to the    Cou~t   of Criminal Appeals

setting asside the cumulation order and deleting it as ineffective. However,

on rehearing by the State it·was restacked and Relator has did ~he whole

sentences as stacked and Relator has suffered    t~e   full prejudicial   ~arm   by

this cumulation order on rehearing. See Gordon vs. State, 575 S.W.2d 529 1

at 534-535 (Tex. Cr. App. 1979). Relator therefore concludes that the

correct thing for this Court to rule is that Relator is entitled to relief

pursuant to the cases of La Porte vs. State, 840 S.W.2d 412 (Tex. Cr.App.

1992), and Ex Parte Sims,868 S.W.2d 803 (Tex. Cr. App. 1993), and Ex Parte

McJunkins, 954 S.W.2d 39, 39~43 (Tex. Cr. App. 1997).

     Relator contends that he should be heard on these matters and Relator's

convictions in cause number 10085 and 10238W should be found in error and

grant Relator reversal of these convictions and set them for retrial.

     Relator would also contend that this Court of Criminal Appeals should

also set asside Relator's sentence in cause number 22778 as a void

conviction may not be used to enhanc2 an individual's sentence under the

Texas Statute. Burgett vs. State of Texas, 389    U.S.109~   112-13, 88 S.Ct. 258,

260-61,19 L.Ed. 2d 319 (1967). See also Martinez vs. Estelle,612 F.2d 173,

175 (5th Cir 1980); as Relator also claims that Relator's Counsel Larry M.

Thompson at the 1980 trial was ineffective because he failed to investigate
the validity of Relator's 1977 ·convictions, and that he wrongly advised
Page 21.

Relator to plea true to the enhancement counts of cause number 10085 and

10238W.without explaining to Relator what the plea of true intended and

it's consequence and failed to investigate the void convictions and he

allowed Relator to be enhanced by the prosecutor whom used the 1977

convictions for enhancement when he should have known that they were

void convictions. See Cook vs. Lynaugh,821 F.2d 1072 (5th Cir. 1987); See

also La Porte vs. State, 840 S.W.2d 412 (Tex. Cr. App. 1992).

       And lastly, Relator's sentence in cause number 13,472, should also

be reversed for resentence        7   as Relator was wrongly enhanced by cause

number's 10085 and 10238W as they are void convictions pursuant to La Porte

vs. State,840 S.W. 2d 412 (Tex. Cr. App. 1992), and Ex Parte Sims,868 S.W.

2d 803 (Tex. Cr. App. 1993), and Ex Parte McJunkins,954 S.W. 2d 39,39-43

(Tex. Cr. App.1997); See also Martinez vs. Estelle,612 F.2d 173,175 (5th

        In Ex    Pat~e   Stuart, 653 S.W. 2d 13, the defendant challenged

conviction, and the prior convictions uded to enhance itt through

numberous applications for writ of habeas corpus Id. At one point,we

cited Stuart for abuse of the writ process Id. Seven years after his

conviction, Stuart, again sought habeas relief challenging the use of

that Stuart's claims had merit in light of changes in the law following

         Relator has wailed like a stuck pig for years \vhile this Court has

denied Relator an opportunity to be heard by this Court on Relator's

convictions in cause number 10085 and cause number 10238W, as being a

unkept plea bargain.

         The Coprt's have performed such serious surgery on the great writ,as

it applies to postconviction habeas corpus proceedings.

         This Court should not forget what the Supreme Court of the United

States previously pointed out in construing the habeas corpus statutes.

         ;'vJhile the rhetoric   · · celebrating habeas corpus has changed little over

the centuries. (footnote d~leted), it is neverthe less true that the functions

of the writ have undergone drastic change ...

         (H)abeas Corpus is not a static, narrow, formalistic remedy", Jones vs.

Cunningham,371 U.S. 236, 83 S.Ct. 373,9 L. Ed. 2d 285 (1963), but one

which must retain the ability to cut through barriers of form and

procedural mazes'= (Citations Omitted). The very nature of the writ demands

that it be administered essential to insure that miscarriages of justice

within it's reach are surfaced and corrected. (Citation deleted). Thus we

have consistently rejected interpretations of the habeas corpus statutes

that would suffocate the writ in stifling formalisms or hobble its

effectiveness with the m_anacles of arcane and scholasti.c procedural

requirem~nt".      Hensley vs. Municipal Court, 411- U.S. 345, 93 S.Ct. 1571,

36 L. Ed 2d 294 (1973).

         Our habeas corpus law(s) has always been available to obtain release

of any one who is unlawfully restrained of his liberty. See also Ex Parte

Lemke,13 S.W. 3d 791 (Tex. Cr. App.2DOO).

     As there are no time restrictions on a lawsuit of this kind, Relator

may apply for the writ any time Relator feels the burden of       multiple

convictions are moie than Relator can bear.

     Relator requests that this Court grant the Mandamus, and application

for writ of habeas corpus; order Respondent to show cause why Relator

should not be set at liberty; give a plenary hearing to determine the

facts; and order production by the State of such documentation as may be

necessary for the proper determination of this cause. Relator further

prays that after determining the facts herein, the Court order Relator

freed from further restraints upon his liberty, order cause number 10085

and cause number. 10238W reversed for a new trial in each case and brder

Relator's sentences in cause number's 22778 and 13,472 reversed for (~new

                    Dear Mr. Gordon:
                    In response to your letter of February ~3, I would ask
                     that you have your Attorney, Jeff Kearney, contact.me

                    .Lindsey'~ Court were, at that ·time, even though not
                    required by law, placed in the record, and the matters
                    to which you inquire should be a matter of record.

                      This is an application for a writ of habeas corpus which was
         submitted to this Court by th~ trial court pursuant to the provi-
         sions of Art. 11.07, V.A.C.C.P.                                Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824
          (Tex.Cr.App. 1967).
                      In 1977, the applicant was convicted of the offenses of
         unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and theft in Tarrant County
         cause numbers 10085 and 10238W.                                Punishment was assessed at impri-.
         sonment for                   four     years in each case.                    These convictions were
         affirmed on direct·appeal.                                Gordon v. State, 575 S.W.2d 529
          (Tex.Cr.App. 1978).                       In 1981, the applicant was convicted of the
         offense of.credit card abuse in Tarrant County cause number 22778.
         Punish~ent,                 enhanced by proof of the prior conviction for
         unauthorized of a motor vehicle, was assessed at imprisonment for
         20 years.               This conviction was affirmed on direct appeal.                                                           Gordon
         v. State, 638 S.W.2d 654 (Tex.App.--Ft. Worth, 1983).
                      In his present application, the applicant contends that there
         was a bona fide doubt as to his competence to stand trial in 1977,
         as well as to his sanity at the time of those offenses.                                                                      This
         application, however, presents a more serious question.                                                                      This
         Court's records reflect that, in addition to his direct appeals,
         the applicant has filed fi;,·e previous applications challenging
         one or more of these convictions.
                      It is obvious from the record that'the applicant is con-
         tinuing to raise issues which have been presented and rejected or
         should          h~ve        been presented on direct appeal and in his prior writs.

       We hold that the applicant's contention is not only without
merit, but has been waived and abaondoned by his abuse of the writ                                       \
of habeas corpus.
       Therefore, the Honorable Thomas Lowe, Clerk of the Court of
Criminal Appeals, is not to accept or file the instant application
for a writ pf l}$eas.qorpus . .         ~e   is also instructed not to accept
in the future any applications for writ of habeas corpus                                     att~cking

1
    In Ex parte Dora, supra, this Court explained the duty of the
       trial court after the entry of an abuse order as follows:
             .,Where a petitioner has been previously cited for
             an 'abuse of the Great Writ,' the trial court
             should not thereafter consider the merits of any
             application for writ of habeas corpus filed by
             that petitioner. The trial court should, however,
             review the application and make findings that this
             petitioner has abused the writ in the past, thus
             making the review procedure of this Court more
             efficient. The transcript should be forwarded to
             this Court, just as in all other cases, pursuant to
             our automatic review jurisdi~tion. SeP Ar~. 11.07,
             Sec. 2(aj, ~upra. Th~ writ t=-an.:>c.~:ivt~should,~of
             course, be forwarded to this Court within fifteen
             days of the trial co~rt's order. See Art. 11.07,
             Sec. 2(c), supra,"

                                                                                                              I
