                               COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS
                             APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
                           SEEKING RELIEF FROM FINAL FELONY CONVICTION
                          UNDER CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, ARTICLE 11.07

                                           INSTRUCTIONS

    1.      You must use the complete form, which begins on the following page, to me an
            application for a writ of habeas corpus seeking relief from a final felony conviction
            under Article 11.07 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. (This form is not for death-
            penalty cases, probated sentences which have not been revoked, or misdemeanors.)

    2.      The clerk of the trial court in which you were convicted will make this form
            available to you, on request, without charge.

    3.      You must file the entire writ application form, including those sections that do not
            apply to you. If any pages are missing from the form, or if the form has been
            downloaded and the questions have been, renumbered or omitted, your entire
            application will be returned as non-compliant. If your application is returned as
            non-compliant, the clerk of the trial court wiD write a note of the defect on your
            application and return the form to you without filing it.

    4.      You must make a separate application on a separate form for each judgment of
            conviction you seek relief from. Even if the judgments were entered in the same
            court on the same day, you must make a separate application for each one.

    5.      Answer every item that applies to you on the form. You may use additional pages
            only if you need them for item 17, the facts supporting your ground for relief. Do
            not attach any additional pages for any other item 17.

    6.      You must include all grounds for relief on the application form as provided by the
            instructions under item 17. You must also briefly summarize the facts of your claim
            on the application form as provided by the instructions under item 17.

                                             VERIFICATION

         This application must be verified or it will be dismissed for non-compliance. For verification purposes, an
applicant is a person filing the application on his or her own behalf. A petitioner is a person filing the application on
behalf of an applicant, for example, an applicant's attorney. An inmate is a person who is in custody.

         The inmate applicant must sign either the "Oath Before a Notary Public" before a notary public or the
"Inmate's Declaration" without a notary public. If the inmate is represented by a licensed attorney, the attorney may
sign the "Oath Before a Notary Public" as petitioner and then complete "Petitioner's Information." A non-inmate
applicant must sign the "Oath Before a Notary Public" before a notary public unless he is represented by a licensed
attorney, in which case the attorney may sign the verification as petitioner.

         A non-inmate non-attorney petitioner must sign the "Oath Before a Notary Public" before a notary public
and must also complete "Petitioner's Information." An inmate petitioner must sign either the "Oath Before a Notary
Public" before a notary public or the "Inmate's Declaration" without a notary public and must also complete the
appropriate "Petitioner's Information."
