    Facts of the Crime:

    On April 18, 2002, in Houston, Freeney took his girlfriend, Kirshalynne Jones, to a motel where he sexually assaulted her and stabbed her multiple times, resulting in her death. He left the scene and went to an apartment complex where he attacked a second woman as she entered her home. He sexually assaulted her and stabbed her until she lost consciousness. He left the residence, picked up a third woman, Vicky Dean, took her to his residence where he choked her until she lost consciousness. When she awoke, he sexually assaulted her and stabbed her multiple times, resulting in her death.

    Freeney was sentenced to death in Harris County in September 2003.

    IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
    OF TEXAS

    NO. WR-78,109-01
    EX PARTE RAY MCARTHUR FREENEY

    ON APPLICATION FOR POST-CONVICTION WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
    CAUSE NO. 909843 IN THE 337TH DISTRICT COURT
    HARRIS COUNTY
    Per Curiam.

    O R D E R

    In August 2003, a jury found applicant guilty of the offense of capital murder. The jury answered the statutory punishment questions in such a way that the trial court set applicant's punishment at death. On September 9, 2004, the State filed in this Court its brief on applicant's direct appeal. Pursuant to Article 11.071 §§ 4(a) and (b) (1), applicant's initial application for a writ of habeas corpus was due to be filed in the trial court on or before January 24, 2005, assuming a motion for extension was timely filed and granted. It has been more than seven years since the application was due in the trial court. Accordingly, we order the trial court to resolve any remaining issues within 90 days from the date of this order. The clerk shall then transmit the complete writ record to this Court within 120 days from the date of this order. Any extensions of time shall be obtained from this Court.

    IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 1ST DAY OF AUGUST, 2012.
