Re: Trial Court Cause No. W91-22107-Q(A);
Ex parte James Berkely Hai‘bin, II

Dear Mr. Acosta:

On December 19, 2014, the Dallas County District Clerk’s Office filed the Clerk’s
Record in the above-mentioned case. That record contained the trial court’s Findings of
Fact and Conclusions of Law. The findings were issued on December 16, 2014 by the
Honorable Lena Levario, Presiding Judge of the 204th Judicial District Court in Dallas
County. The State was never served with a copy of said findings. The State learned of the
December 16 findings (which recommend that relief be granted in Applicant’s case) on
December 29, 2014 when the State, exercising due diligence, searched the online records
pertaining to this case.

Please allow this letter to serve as notice that, with all possible speed, the State
will prepare and file with the trial court a State’s Objections to the Trial Court’s
December 16, 2014 Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in the above-mentioned -
case.

_ Sincerely,
RECE|VED |N ' . -
