Cause _No. 710860-A

EX PARTE § lN THE ZZSTH DISTRICT COURT
§ OF
JOEL W'ITWER, '
Applicant § HARRIS COUNTY, T E X A S

STATE'S PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT,
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, AND ORDER

The Court has considered the application for Writ of habeas corpus, the
State’s Original Answer, and official court records in the above-captioned cause.'
The Court finds that there are no controverted, previously unresolved facts material
to the legality of the applicant's confinement Which require an evidentiary hearing
and recommends that the requested habeas relief be denied for the following

reasons:
FINDINGS OF FACT

1._ The applicant is confined pursuant to the judgment and sentence of the 228th
District Court of Harris County, Texas, in cause number 710860 (the primary
case), Where on December 27, 1995, the applicant entered a plea of guilty of
the felony offense of sexual assault

2. The trial court initially deferred adjudication of the applicant’s guilt and
placed him on community supervision for a term of ten (10) years.
Subsequent thereto, the court adjudicated the applicant’s guilt and assessed
punishment at ten (10) years confinement in the TeXas Department.of
CriminalJustice `- lnstitutional Division (TDCJ-ID). §§ § EJ § §§

3. The applicant committed the offense of sexual assault in the primary case on
or about December l7, 1995.

CoNCLUsIoNs oF LAw '

l. An offender’s eligibility for mandatory supervision is determined by
whether the offense of conviction was an eligible offense on the date it was
committed Ex parte Mabry, 137 S.W.3d 58, 62 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004).

2. Subject to certain exceptions, a parole panel shall order the release of an
inmate who is not on parole to mandatory supervision when the actual
calendar time the inmate has served, plus any accrued good conduct time,
equals the term to which the inmate was sentenced TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC.
art. 42.18, §8(c) (1995).

3. As of September l, 1995, the offense of sexual assault was an offense not
eligible for mandatory supervision release. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC.` art.
42.18, §8(0)(4) (1995).

4. Therefore, the applicant is not eligible for mandatory supervision release in the
primary case because the applicant committed the offense of sexual assault on
or about December 17, 1995, when sexual assault was an offense ineligible
for release to mandatory supervision.

Accordingly, it is recommended to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals that the j

requested habeas relief be denied

THE CLERK IS ORDERED to prepare a transcript and transmit same to the
Court of Criminal Appeals as provided by TEX. CRIM. PROC. CODE ANN. art. ll.07
(West 2013). The transcript shall include certified copies of the following
documents:

l. ~ The application for writ of habeas corpus;

2. The State’s answer;
3. The Court's order;

4. The indictment, judgment and sentence, plea papers, and docket sheets
in cause number 710860 (unless they have been sent to the Texas Court
of Criminal Appeals pursuant to a post-conviction writ of habeas
corpus order); and .

5. The State’s and the applicant's Proposed Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law (if any).

THE CLERK is further ORDERED to send a copy of this order to the
applicant, Joel Witwer, #01251417- Diboll Unit, 1604 South First Street, Diboll,
Texas 75941; and to counsel for the State, Baldwin Chin, 1201 Franklin Street,
