Applicant pleaded guilty to violation of a protective order in exchange for deferred adjudication community supervision.

Applicant 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 he was denied time credit while released on mandatory supervision. Applicant has alleged facts that, if true, might entitle him to relief. TEX . GOV ’T CODE § 508.283(b) and (c); Ex parte Spann, 132 S.W.3d 390 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004). Accordingly, the record should

2 be developed. The trial court is the appropriate forum for findings of fact. TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07, § 3(d). The trial court shall order the Texas Department of Criminal Justice’s Office of the General Counsel to obtain a response from a person with knowledge of relevant facts.

If counsel is appointed or retained, the trial court shall immediately notify this Court of counsel’s name.

The response shall state whether Applicant presented a claim to the time credit resolution system of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and, if so, the date the claim was presented. The response shall then state whether Applicant was serving a sentence for, or has been previously convicted of, an offense described by § 508.149(a) of the Texas Government Code when his mandatory supervision was revoked. If not, the response shall state the following:

(1) Applicant’s sentence-begin date, (2) how much time was remaining on Applicant’s sentence when he was released, (3) how much time Applicant spent on mandatory supervision before any revocation warrants were issued, (4) the dates any revocation warrants were issued and executed, and (5) whether Applicant received credit while released on mandatory supervision.

The trial court shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law as to whether, before filing this application, Applicant properly exhausted his administrative remedies as required by § 501.0081(b) of the Government Code. The trial court shall then determine whether Applicant is eligible to earn street time credit and, if so, whether he is receiving the proper credit for that time. The trial court may make any other findings and conclusions that it deems appropriate in response

3 to Applicant’s claims.

The trial court shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law within ninety days from the date of this order. The district clerk shall then immediately forward to this Court the trial court’s findings and conclusions and the record developed on remand, including, among other things, affidavits, motions, objections, proposed findings and conclusions, orders, and transcripts from hearings and depositions.
