OF TEXAS





NO. WR-78,131-01


EX PARTE TARUS VANDELL SALES





ON APPLICATION FOR POST-CONVICTION WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 893161 IN THE 179TH DISTRICT COURT

HARRIS COUNTY



Per Curiam.  


O R D E R


	In March 2003, a jury found applicant guilty of the offense of capital murder.  The
jury answered the statutory punishment questions in such a way that the trial court set
applicant's punishment at death.  On May 27, 2004, the State filed in this Court its brief
on applicant's direct appeal.  Pursuant to Article 11.071 §§ 4(a) and (b) (1), applicant's
initial application for a writ of habeas corpus was due to be filed in the trial court on or
before October 11, 2004, assuming a motion for extension was timely filed and granted. 
It has been more than seven years since the application was due in the trial court. 
Accordingly, we order the trial court to resolve any remaining issues within 90 days from
the date of this order.  The clerk shall then transmit the complete writ record to this Court
within 120 days from the date of this order.  Any extensions of time shall be obtained
from this Court.
	IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 1ST DAY OF AUGUST, 2012.
