You / The family, needs to hire the best appellate lawyer you can afford.

This appeal may mean the difference of your cousin sitting in prison for the rest of his life.

If I were to hire any appellate criminal defense lawyer in Texas, it would be Dan Wood, Jr. - he can be called at 972-524-3388.

Call him (or another lawyer) immediately, time lines for appeals are VERY short.

Good Luck!!!
