IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS





NO. WR-40,739-13


EX PARTE TOMMY EARL JORDAN, Applicant





ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. W95-02478-N IN THE 195TH DISTRICT COURT

FROM DALLAS COUNTY



 Per curiam.


O R D E R


	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 this application for writ of habeas corpus.  Ex parte
Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967).  Applicant was convicted of robbery and
sentenced to 40 years' imprisonment.
	In his present application, Applicant raises two grounds for review challenging his
conviction.  This application, however, presents a more serious question.  This Court's records
reflect that Applicant has filed six prior applications challenging this conviction.  It is obvious from
the record that Applicant continues to raise issues that have been presented and rejected in previous
applications or that should have been presented in previous applications.  The writ of habeas corpus
is not to be lightly or easily abused.  Sanders v. U.S., 373 U.S. 1 (1963); Ex parte Carr, 511 S.W.2d
523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977).  Because of his repetitive claims, we hold that Applicant's claims are
barred from review under Article 11.07, § 4, and are waived and abandoned by his abuse of the writ. 
This application is dismissed.
	Therefore, we instruct the Honorable Louise Pearson, Clerk of the Court of Criminal
Appeals, not to accept or file the instant application for a writ of habeas corpus, or any future
application attacking this conviction unless Applicant is able to show in such an application that any
claims presented have not been raised previously and that they could not have been presented in a
previous application for a writ of habeas corpus.  Ex parte Bilton, 602 S.W.2d 534 (Tex. Crim. App.
1980).
