    This order from the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas concerns Rodney Reed, who was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death. The court had previously denied five of Reed's applications for post-conviction habeas corpus relief. In this sixth subsequent application, Reed asserts that he has newly discovered evidence supporting his claim of actual innocence, as well as new scientific evidence establishing his probable innocence under Article 11.073. The court stayed Reed's execution pending further review of his application.

    IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

    OF TEXAS
    NO. WR-50,961-07

    EX PARTE RODNEY REED, Applicant

    ON APPLICATION FOR POST-CONVICTION WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS


    IN CAUSE NO. 8701 IN THE 21 ST DISTRICT COURT
    BASTROP COUNTY

    Per curiam. K ELLER, P.J., and M EYERS, J., dissented to the stay. N EWELL, J.,
    not participating.
    ORDER
    This is a subsequent application for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to the
    provisions of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.071 5.
    In May 1998, a jury convicted appellant of the offense of capital murder. The jury
    answered the special issues submitted pursuant to Texas Code of Criminal Procedure
    Article 37.071, and the trial court, accordingly, set appellants punishment at death. This
    Court affirmed appellants conviction and sentence on direct appeal. Reed v. State, No.

    Reed - 2
    AP-73,135 (Tex. Crim. App. Dec. 6, 2000)(not designated for publication). On
    November 15, 1999, appellant filed his initial post-conviction application for writ of
    habeas corpus in the convicting court. On February 8, 2001, appellant filed a
    Supplemental Claim for Relief on Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus in the
    convicting court. This Court subsequently denied appellant relief on his initial
    application and construed the supplemental claim as a subsequent application and
    dismissed it. Ex parte Reed, Nos. WR-50,961-01 and WR-50,961-02 (Tex. Crim. App.
    Feb. 13, 2002)(not designated for publication).
    Appellant filed his second subsequent habeas application in the convicting court
    on March 29, 2005. This Court remanded the case to the trial court for the development
    of two claims. After the case was returned to this Court, we issued an opinion denying
    relief. Ex parte Reed, 271 S.W.3d 698 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008). Over time, appellant
    filed three more subsequent writ applications, none of which satisfied the requirements of
    Article 11.071, 5, and the Court dismissed them. Ex parte Reed, Nos. WR-50,961-04
    and WR-50,961-05 (Tex. Crim. App. Jan. 14, 2009)(not designated for publication), and
    No. 50,961-06 (Tex. Crim. App. July 1, 2009)(not designated for publication). Applicant
    filed this his sixth subsequent application in the trial court on February 13, 2015.
    In this application, applicant asserts that he has newly discovered evidence that
    supports his claim that he is actually innocent, that new scientific evidence establishes his
    probable innocence pursuant to Article 11.073 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and

    Reed - 3
    that the State presented false, misleading, and scientifically invalid testimony which
    violates his right to due process. In a fourth allegation, appellant asserts that we should
    reconsider his previous writs in light of this new evidence. The Court orders applicants
    execution stayed pending further order of this Court.
    IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 23RD DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2015.
