                  EX PARTE SAMUEL HERSCHEL CLAUDER, Applicant


                  ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
                   CAUSE NO. 57648-B IN THE 78TH DISTRICT COURT
                              FROM WICHITA COUNTY


        Per curiam.

                                            OPINION

        Applicant was convicted of possession of marihuana and sentenced to 2 years’ imprisonment.

He filed this application for a writ of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk

forwarded it to this Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07.

        Applicant contends that appellate counsel failed to timely file a petition for discretionary

review (PDR). As a result, Applicant lost the opportunity to file a PDR. The record supports this

contention.

        Relief is granted. Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997); Ex parte Crow,

180 S.W.3d 135 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).             Applicant may file an out-of-time petition for

discretionary review of the judgment of the Second Court of Appeals in cause number 02-17-00420-
                                                                                                  2

CR. Should Applicant decide to file a petition for discretionary review, he must file it with this

Court within thirty days from the date of this Court’s mandate.

Institutions Division and the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
