Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Ineffective counsel

My husband, aggravated robbery, got a plea or 15yrs from DA. He had 60 days to take. Lawyer did not take his calls. He was in jury trial 30 days after getting the letter. He got 30 years aggravated. Court of CCAppeals gave him hearing but we had no trial records to prove ineffectiveness, but we do now. What do we do now. He has served 7 1/2 years already. He has 2 appeals denied. Writs have been denied also. What can we do now that we have needed information to prove ineffective counsel?

Re: Ineffective counsel

This is a hard one due to the subsequent writ rules. The key issue si why you didnt have access to the newly discovered documents at the time of the first writ. Email me and I will see if I think that there is anything to be done.
