IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS





NO. 74,118-01


EX PARTE ISMAEL FLORES UMANA, Applicant





ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 1315 IN THE 198th DISTRICT COURT

FROM MENARD COUNTY



 Per curiam.

O R D E R


	Pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the
clerk of the trial court transmitted to this Court this application for writ of habeas corpus.  Ex parte
Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967).  Applicant was convicted of capital murder
and sentenced to life years' imprisonment. 
	Applicant contends that he is being denied credit for time spent in federal custody while
under a Texas detainer.  Specifically, the Applicant contends that he is being denied credit for the
period from November 29, 1995 to  January 31, 2003.  Applicant has alleged facts that, if true, might
entitle him to relief.  Ex parte Hernandez, 758 S.W.2d 594 (Tex. Crim. App. 1988).  In these
circumstances, additional facts are needed.  As we held in Ex parte Rodriguez, 334 S.W.2d 294, 294
(Tex. Crim. App. 1997), the trial court is the appropriate forum for findings of fact.
	The trial court shall order the Texas Department of Criminal  Justice's Office of the General
Counsel to file an affidavit stating whether the Applicant is being improperly denied time credit.  
The affidavit should indicate whether or not Applicant has submitted his claim to the time credit
resolution system of TDCJ, and if so, the date when the claim was submitted.
	The trial court may also order depositions, interrogatories or a hearing.  In the appropriate
case, the trial court may rely on its personal recollection.  Id.  If the trial court elects to hold a
hearing, it shall determine whether Applicant is indigent.  If Applicant is indigent and wishes to be
represented by counsel, the trial court shall appoint an attorney to represent Applicant at the hearing. 
Tex. C ode Crim. Proc. art. 26.04.
	The trial court shall make findings of fact first as to whether Applicant has properly
exhausted his administrative remedies as required by Tex. Gov't Code § 501.0081(b)-(c).  The trial
court shall then make findings as to whether Applicant is eligible to earn street time credit, and if
so, whether he is entitled to credit for his time spent on release.  The trial court shall also make
findings as to whether Applicant is receiving the proper amount of time credit for that time.  The trial
court shall also make any other findings of fact and conclusions of law that it deems relevant and
appropriate to the disposition of Applicant's claim for habeas corpus relief.
	This application will be held in abeyance until the trial court has resolved the fact issues.  The
issues shall be resolved within 90 days of this order.  If any continuances are granted, a copy of the
order granting the continuance shall be sent to this Court. A supplemental transcript containing all
affidavits and interrogatories or the transcription of the court reporter's notes from any hearing or
deposition, along with the trial court's supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall
be returned to this Court within 120 days of the date of this order.  Any extensions of time shall be
obtained from this Court.
