Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION(S) PRESENTED Did the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals err in denying Applicant’s contention that the trial court did not conduct a proper competency inquiry because there was enough evidence to create a bona fide doubt regarding applicant’s competency, thereby violating Applicant’s rights to due process? Did the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals err in denying Applicant’s contention that the trial court should have empaneled a jury for a competency hearing because there was substantial evidence and applicant certainly provided more than none or a scintilla of evidence regarding applicant’s competency, thereby violating Applicant’s rights to due process?
