IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS





NO. WR-70,747-02


EX PARTE EDWARD LEE BUSBY, JR.





ON APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
MOTION FOR CONTEMPT IN CAUSE NO. C-2-008387-0920589-B
IN CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT TWO TARRANT COUNTY



 Per curiam.

O R D E R


	This is a subsequent application for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to the
provisions of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.071, § 5. (1)
	David Dow and Melissa Azadeh are representing applicant in this subsequent
application, which was filed in the convicting court on October 1, 2012.  On October 11,
2012, the State filed a Motion for Contempt in the convicting court in response to this
application.  Without addressing the Motion for Contempt and the responsive pleadings
that followed, the convicting court properly forwarded the subsequent application and the
record to this Court in compliance with Article 11.071, Section 5(b)(1).
	Although the subsequent application is properly before us, it appears that the
parties intended for the Motion for Contempt and responsive pleadings to be considered
in the first instance by the convicting court.  Further, it appears that controverted,
previously unresolved factual issues material to the merits of this Motion exist.  See Art.
1.052; Art. 11.14(5); see also Ex parte Gaither, 387 S.W.3d 643 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012).
	The trial court, as the original finder of fact, is in a better position than this Court
to receive evidence and to resolve any fact issues with respect to the Motion for Contempt
and responsive pleadings.  Therefore we return these proceedings to the trial court to rule
on the Motion for Contempt.
	IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 6th DAY OF MARCH, 2013.
