            IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
                        OF TEXAS
                           NOS. AP-76,691, AP-76,692, AP-76,693



               EX PARTE TENESIA SHANNETTE BAILEY, Applicant



         ON APPLICATIONS FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
  CAUSE NOS. W05-53405-P(A), W05-53406-P(A) and W05-53407-P(A) IN THE
                       203rd DISTRICT COURT
                      FROM DALLAS COUNTY



       Per curiam.

                                          OPINION

       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 these applications for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex

parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of aggravated

robbery, two aggravated kidnappings and sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment in each cause.

       Applicant contends, inter alia, that her counsel rendered ineffective assistance because he

failed to timely file notices of appeal. We remanded this application to the trial court for findings

of fact and conclusions of law.
                                                                                                     2

       The trial court has determined that counsel did not render ineffective assistance in these

cases. However, the trial court also finds that Applicant did file timely pro se notices of appeal that

were misplaced and never processed by the court clerks. We find that Applicant is entitled to the

opportunity to file out-of-time appeals of the judgments of conviction in Cause Nos. W05-53405-P,

W05-53406-P, and W-05-53407-P from the 203rd Judicial District Court of Dallas County.

Applicant is ordered returned to that time at which she may give written notices of appeal so that she

may then, with the aid of counsel, obtain meaningful appeals. Within ten days of the issuance of this

opinion, the trial court shall determine whether Applicant is indigent. If Applicant is indigent and

wishes to be represented by counsel, the trial court shall immediately appoint an attorney to represent

Applicant on direct appeal. All time limits shall be calculated as if these sentences had been

imposed on the date on which the mandate of this Court issues. We hold that, should Applicant

desire to prosecute any appeals, she must take affirmative steps to file written notices of appeal in

the trial court within 30 days after the mandate of this Court issues.
