JOSEPH BARNARD HINES,
 Applicant                                §     HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS


                          STATE'S ORIGINAL ANSWER

       The State of Texas, through its Assistant District Attorney for Harris County,

files this, its original answer in the above-captioned cause, having been served with

an application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to TEX. CRIM. PROC. CODE ANN. art.

11.07 § 3 (West 2013), and would show the following:

                                         I.
       The applicant is confmed. pursuant to the judgment and sentence of the I 80th

District Court of Harris County, Texas, in cause number 776435 (the primary case),

where on November 1, 1999, the applicant was convicted pursuant to a plea of guilty

for the felony offense of aggravated robbery. The court, in agreement with the plea

agreement, assessed punishment at fifteen (15) years confmement in the Texas

·Department of Criminal Justice- Institutional Division (TCDJ-ID).

       The Fourteenth Court of Appeals dismissed the applicant's appeal in the

primary case on January 4, 2001 for lack of jurisdiction. Hines v. State, No. 14-00-

01014-CR, 2001 WL 8322 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.], no pet.)(mem. op., not

designated for publication).
       The applicant's initial application for writ of habeas corpus, cause number

776435-A, was denied on August 25, 2004. Ex Parte Hines, WR-55,762-02 (Tex.

Crim. App. 2004).

                                            II.

       The State denies the factual allegations made in the instant application, except

those supported by official court records, and offers the following additional reply:

                 REPLY TO APPLICANT'S SOLE GROUND FOR RELIEF

       In the applicant's sole ground for relief the applicant alleges that the juvenile

court abused its discretion by transferring the applicant to the state criminal court.

Applicant's Writ at 6.

       However, if a subsequent writ application is filed after fmal disposition of an

initial application challenging the same conviction, the Court may not consider the

merits of or grant relief based on a subsequent application unless the application

contains sufficient specific facts establishing that:

       (1) the current claims have not been and could not have been presented
           previously in an original or in a previously considered application because
           the factual or legal basis for the claim was unavailable on the date the
           applicant filed the previous application; or
       (2) by a preponderance of the evidence, but for a violation of the United States·
           Constitution no rational juror could have found the applicant guilty beyond
           a reasonable doubt.

TEX. CRIM. PROC. CODE ANN. art. 11.07 § 4 (a) (West 2013).

       The instant writ application was filed after the final disposition of the

                                            2
applicant's initial writ application, cause number 776435-A, which challenged the

same conviction and was denied on August 25, 2004. In this application, the

applicant has failed to include sufficient specific facts establishing that the current

claims could not have been presented previously because the factual or legal basis

for the claim was unavailable; or that, by a preponderance of the evidence, no

rational juror could have found the applicant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 § 4 (a) (West 2013). Therefore, the Court

may not consider the merits of or grant relief based on the instant writ of habeas

corpus.

                                         m.
       The applicant raises questions of law and fact that can be resolved by the

. Court of Criminal Appeals upon review of official court records and without need

for an evidentiary hearing.

       JOSEPH BARNARD HINES,
        Applicant                                 §     HARRIS COUNTY, TE)\AS



                         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

       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 confmement which require an evidentiary hearing and recommends that

       the instant writ, cause number 776435-B, be dismissed because the applicant has

       failed to include sufficit:mt specific facts establishing that the current claims could

       not have been presented previously because the factual or legal basis for the claim

       was unavailable; or that, by a preponderance of the evidence, but for a violation of

       the United States Constitution, no rational juror could have found the applicant

       guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. TEX. CRIM. PROC. CODE ANN. art. 11.07 § 4(a)

       (West 2013).
      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. 11.07

(West 2013).     The transcript shall include certified copies of the following

documents:

      1.     The application for writ of habeas corpus;

      2.     The State's answer;

      3.     The Court's order;

      4.     The indictment, judgment and sentence, and docket sheets in cause
             number 776435;

      5.     The Court's Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law; and

      6.     The State's and Applicant's Proposed Findings of Fact and
             Conclusions of Law (ifany).

      THE CLERK is further ORDERED to send a copy of this order to the

applicant, Joseph   Barn~d   Hines, TDCJ # 901768 - Connally Unit, Kenedy, Texas,

78119; and to counsel for the State, Eva Flores, 1201 Franklin, Suite 600, Houston,

Texas 77002.

           SUMMARY OF    FA~rs   AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

  Applicant was sixteen years of age at the tiDe of bls illegal arrest for
criminal offenses on 12-17-97 by detective Moore and detective Baker from Eis-
hower High School where he aas attending class. The detectives kidnapped App-
licant and took him to a loc::al police department in harris county where he was

hower High SChool and arrested Applicant in his classroom and took him to the
same police department where he was photographed, finger-printEid,.and innterro-
gated a second tim& for a few hours, then transferred him to the Juvenile De-
tention Center-West Dallas,where he was charge.
  The State filed petitions seeking the waiver of jurisdiction of the 313th ju-
venile court.see, EX-A~ IN JUVEBE CASE W.cm:m55J(. A certification hearing
was held where the juvenile court granted the States petition and issued a
order waiving    jurisdiction.see,EX~B[cmR W\fiL\G           Jt.rus:liclii::N,W.c.an>755J].

  Applicant now files this second writ of habeas corpus pursuant to artical 11
11.07 § 4(a)(l)(b) & (a)(2). Because the current claimshas not been and could
not have been reasonably formulated on the date of the filing of·his original
habeas corpus,becauae the legal basis of the claim[~ KR RE:VIEW] was· not re-
                                                          .                         i)t(\5-

this state on or before the filing of original habeas corpus.
  Alsp,by the preponderance of the evidenae,but for the violation of Applicants
due process rights of the United Sta~es Constitution no rational Juror or judge
co~ld have found him guilty or accepted his guilty plea where the criminal

district court lacked jurisdiction.
  V\f\~eJ
  ~        the plain language of the statute,once an Applicant files an appli-

same conviction mus.t meet "one" of the ~wo conditions set forth in,Texas Code

                                  Appeals held,"What is lacking in our statutory
scheme-as ~ lacking in Kent-is any express statement of the applicable stand-
ard of appellate review of the juvenile court's transfer. order.
 In the absence of an explicit statutory standard of appellate review,the
courts of appeals have £4i~ the void with ~ecisional law spelling out how
they will go about providing the "meaningful review" contemplated by KENT.see,

  Justict KELLER, stated, "For almost forty years, the tendency among the courts
of appeals has been to hold that a juvenile transfer order need not specify in
detail the facts supporting the order. The Court of Appeals in this case broke
rank with the weight of tha.t authority, and this court now goes along with the
court of appeals unconventional holding.
  In the instant case, even if Applicant .~d raise thie issue on appeal or in
his original writ of habeas corpus it wouid have been fruitless where there
was a void in the statutory
                        .
                             scheme process of a applicable standard of review.

        who camnitted the crimes.see,EX-G[JUVENILE REJJ::H:S].
           The juvenile report stated that detective Moore was able to obtain a photo-
        graph of the shorter suspect,which would be Applicant,because a patrol officer
        suspected him of being involved in criminal activity.see,EX-G[ JUIIENIIE FCEi:ucL:s].
           Applicant's photograph was not in the police department system on or about
        12-17~97,and the juvenile court did, not have any evidence presented to it of

        any probable cause for Applicant's arrest on or about 12-i7-97.to obtain such I   .


        evidEtnce. so,any finding of probable cause would be void,because at the timee
        of the arrest on 12-17-97 detectives Moore & Baker had no probable cause to
        arrest Applicant,where he was not committing a crime at the time of arrest,
        there was no evidence that he had committed a crime or any reason to make.a
        prudent man believe that he had committed an offense.
           The test applicable in determining whether there is probable cause for
        arrest without a warrant,a paudent man in believing that the arrested person
        had committed or was committing an offense is set ~ in,BRITTEN v. STATE,

           An inarticulate hunch,suspicion or good faith of the arresting officer is
        insufficient to constitute probable cause for a arrest,search,or temporary de-

                       In the instant case, detective Moore, and Baker ·were without probable cause to
                     arrest applicant on 12-17-97 and obtain evidence without authority of a judi-
                     cial officer as set out in Tex. E'am. Code Ann.:S2.025 (b)(3),and it was a
                     abuse of discretion of the juvenile court to find probable cause(~ waive
                     jurisdiction) that Applicant committed the offense where there was no evidenc~

                     certify it's action in a written order and the findings of the court. The

                  support it's determinations.see,EX-B[<K'ER WU:VOO JUUSDICI'KN].
                    Before a juvenile court mal' exercise it's discretion to waive jurisdiction
                  over an alleged child offender,the juvenile court must consider the non-ex-
                  clusive statutory factors of Tex. Fam. COde Ann.§S4~02(f) to faciltate the
                  juvenile court's balancing of the potential danger to the public posed by tn~
                  particular juvenile offender with the juvenile offender's amenability to treat-
                  ment. Should the juvenile court choose to exercise it's discretion to waive
                  jurisdiction over the child,then Texas Juvenile Justice COde directs it to .._.
                  state specifically in a written order it's-reasons for waiver and to certify
                  it's action,including the written order and finding of the court.see,GUERREO v
                  STATE, 2014 TEX.APP. tEXIS 13773(TEX. APP. 14th dist.-Houston).
                     texas Family Code Ann.§S4.02(h) obviously contemplates that both the Juvenil~
                   ~kt~ for waiving it's jurisdiction and the findings of fact that Ora
                   undergird those reasons should appear in the transfer order. In order to just-
                   ify the broad discretion. invested in the juvenile court,a court should take
                   pains to show it's work,as it were,by spreading it's deliberative process on
                   the record, thereby providing a sura-footed and definite basis from which an
                   appellate court can determine that it's decision was in fact appropriately
                   guided by the statutory criteria,principled,and reasonable-in short,that it is
                  ·a decision demonstrably deserving of appellate imprimatur even if the appellate
                   court might have reached a different result. The legisla~ purpose of Tax~
                   Fam. Code Ann. §54.02(h) is not well served by a transfer order so lacking in'.

                 stated. in the juvenile court's order to justify the \iai ver of jurisdiction was

                   The COurt held that a waiver of juvenile jurisdiction "based on this partie
                 cular reason,fortified only by this fact,constitutes an abuse of discretion."
                   Additionally,the COUrt determined that other fact findings included in the
                 juvenile court's written order were "superfluous" because,although mose facts
                 findings would have been relevant to support a transfer for the alternative ~
                 reason that the appellant's background was such as to render waiver of juvenil~
                 jurisdiction appropriate, the juvenile court did. not c~te the appellant's back-
                 ground as a reason for in transfer in the written order. MOON v. S'l'A'l'E,2014 •

               In the instant case,like the order in MOON,the tr~asfer order in this case
             makes no findings about the specifics of the alleged offanse,where here,agg-
             ravated robbery and finds no more than probable cause to believe that appli-
             cant committed the offense alleged.see,EX-B[~ WIU'IINi Jt.RISDICl'IQ\J]. Also, as
                       "'na
             in MOON ,~only    stated reason given for Applicant's transfer was that "be-

             that "the offense allaged to have been committed was against the person of
             another."
               MOON, instructs that that the juvenile courts waiver of jurisdiction "based o

THE STATE OF TEXAS                                         IN THE 313TH DISTRICT COURT

COUNTY OF HARRIS                                           OF HARRIS COUNTY, T E X A S

                              ORDER WAIVING JURISDICTION

        IN THE MATTER OF JOSEPH BARNARD HINES.

        ON THE 24TH day of FEBRUARY, 1998, a hearing was held in the above styled

and numbered cause under Section 54.02 of the Family Code, on the issue of waiver

of jurisdiction. Prior thereto the Court had ordered and obtained a diagnostic

study, social evaluation,a full investigation of the child, his circumstances, and

the circumstances of the alleged offense, counsel, BELINDA PITT was retained more

than ten (10) days prior to the hearing; the counsel for the child was given access

to' all written matter to be considered by the court in making the transfer decision

more than one(1) day prior to the hearing; said child, JOSEPH BARNARD HINES and his

mother, CHERRIE MARSHALL had been served with citation more than two (2) days prior

to the hearing.    After full investigation and hearing at which hearing, the said

JOSEPH BARNARD HINES and his mother, CHERRIE MARSHALL were present; the court finds

that the said JOSEPH BARNARD HINES, is charged in violation of penal laws of the

grade of felony, if. committed by an adult, to wit: AGGRAVATED ROBBERY OF HUAN VU,

COMMITTED ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 15, 1997; that there has been no adjudication of

this offense; that he was 14 years of age or older at the time of the commission

of the alleged offense having been born on the~~~~~-~~~~:S;~~N' that there

is probable cause to believe that the child committed the offense alleged and that

because of the seriousness of the offense, the welfare of the community requires

criminal proceedings.     In making that determination, the Court has considered among

other matters:

         1.           Whether the alleged offense was against person or property,
                      with the greater weight in favor of waiver given to offenses
                      against the person;

         2.             The sophistication and maturity of the child;

         3.             The record and previous history of the child; and
         4.             The prospects of adequate protection of the public and the
                        likelihood of reasonable rehabilitation of the child by use of
                        procedures, services and facilities currently available to the
                        Juvenile Court.

         The Court specifically finds· that the said JOSEPH BARNARD HINES is of
 >   •




sufficient   sophistication   and   maturity   to ·have    intelligently,   knowingly   and

voluntarily waived all constitutional and statutory rights heretofore waived by the

said JOSEPH BARNARD HINES, to have aided in the preparation of his, defense and to

be responsible for his conduct.      That the offense alleged to have been committed

was against the person of another and the evidence and reports heretofore presented

to the court demonstrate to the court that there is little,           if any prospect of

adequate protection of the public and likelihood of reasonable rehabilitation of
the said JOSEPH BARNARD HINES by use of · procedures,          services,    and facilities

currently available to the Juvenile Court.

         IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the jurisdiction of this Court sitting as a

Juvenile Court, be and it is hereby waived, and the said JOSEPH BARNARD HINES be

and the same is hereby transferred to the Criminal District Court of Harris County,

Texas, for criminal proceedings in    accord~nce   with the Code of Criminal Procedure.

   After a thorough search of our records, we find that you do not have a Writ of Habeas Corpus
   filed in the Court of Criminal Appeals at this time. If you have any further questions or
   concerns, please direct them to the District Clerk in the convicting county where you originally
   filed the application.
