             IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
                         OF TEXAS
                                        NO. WR-90,574-01


                           EX PARTE JEFF MARTINEZ, Applicant


                 ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
                 CAUSE NO. 1454459-A IN THE 351ST DISTRICT COURT
                             FROM HARRIS COUNTY


       Per curiam.

                                            ORDER

       Applicant was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment. The

First Court of Appeals dismissed his appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Martinez v. State, No. 01-18-

00225-CR (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Aug. 7, 2018) (not designated for publication). Applicant

filed this application for a writ of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk

forwarded it to this Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07.

       On March 25, 2019, the trial court entered an order designating issues. The district clerk

properly forwarded this application to this Court under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure

73.4(b)(5). However, the application was forwarded before the trial court made findings of fact and

conclusions of law. We remand this application to the trial court to complete its evidentiary
investigation and make findings of fact and conclusions of law.

        The trial court shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law within ninety days from

the date of this order. The district clerk shall then immediately forward to this Court the trial court’s

findings and conclusions and the record developed on remand, including, among other things,

affidavits, motions, objections, proposed findings and conclusions, orders, and transcripts from

hearings and depositions. See TEX . R. APP . P. 73.4(b)(4). Any extensions of time must be requested

by the trial court and obtained from this Court.
