IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS





NO. WR-77,431-01


EX PARTE TERRY LYNN NANCE, Applicant





ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 2006-1027-C2B IN THE 54TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

FROM MCLENNAN 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 pleaded guilty to possession with
intent to deliver a controlled substance and was sentenced to six years' imprisonment. 
	Applicant contends that he is being denied credit for time spent released on parole prior to
revocation.  Applicant has alleged facts that, if true, might entitle him to relief.  Ex parte Spann, 132
S.W.3d 390 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004).  In these circumstances, additional facts are needed.  As we
held in Ex parte Rodriguez, 334 S.W.2d 294, 294 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997), the trial court is the
appropriate forum for findings of fact.
	The trial court shall order the Texas Department of Criminal  Justice's Office of the General
Counsel to file an affidavit listing Applicant's sentence begin date and the dates of issuance of any
parole-revocation warrants leading to the revocation of such parole or mandatory supervision.  The
affidavit should state whether Applicant is serving a sentence for, or has previously been convicted
of, an offense which was listed in Tex. Gov't Code § 508.149(a) at the time of Applicant's
revocation.  The affidavit should also address how much time was remaining on this sentence on the
date that Applicant was released on parole, and how much time Applicant spent on release before
the issuance of the parole-revocation warrant.  The affidavit should state whether or not Applicant
is receiving credit for any of the time spent on parole.  Finally, the affidavit should indicate whether
or not Applicant has submitted his claim to the time credit resolution system of TDCJ, and if so, the
date when the claim was submitted.
	The trial court may also order depositions, interrogatories or a hearing.  In the appropriate
case, the trial court may rely on its personal recollection.  Id.  If the trial court elects to hold a
hearing, it shall determine whether Applicant is indigent.  If Applicant is indigent and wishes to be
represented by counsel, the trial court shall appoint an attorney to represent Applicant at the hearing. 
Tex. C ode Crim. Proc. art. 26.04.
	The trial court shall make findings of fact first as to whether Applicant has properly
exhausted his administrative remedies as required by Tex. Gov't Code § 501.0081(b)-(c).  The trial
court shall then make findings as to whether Applicant is eligible to earn street time credit, and if
so, whether he is entitled to credit for his time spent on release.  The trial court shall also make
findings as to whether Applicant is receiving the proper amount of time credit for that time.  The trial
court shall also make any other findings of fact and conclusions of law that it deems relevant and
appropriate to the disposition of Applicant's claim for habeas corpus relief.
	This application will be held in abeyance until the trial court has resolved the fact issues.  The
issues shall be resolved within 30 days of this order.  If any continuances are granted, a copy of the
order granting the continuance shall be sent to this Court. A supplemental transcript containing all
affidavits and interrogatories or the transcription of the court reporter's notes from any hearing or
deposition, along with the trial court's supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall
be returned to this Court within 45 days of the date of this order.  Any extensions of time shall be
obtained from this Court.
