You didn’t give up when your trial ended. Neither do we. At Blizzard & Zimmerman Attorneys, we specialize in post conviction relief, appeals, and habeas corpus litigation across the state of Texas. If your direct appeal was denied or time-limited, we can help you pursue new legal relief to challenge a conviction, reduce a sentence, or even win your freedom back.

Why Choose Us for Post-Conviction Relief?

Statewide Representation -  Whether your case is in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, or anywhere else in Texas, your case gets the attention it deserves.
Board-Certified & Experienced - Our attorneys have deep knowledge of Texas post-conviction law, including the complex 11.07 writ process. We know how to craft persuasive petitions in state courts.
Relentless Investigation - We dig into every trial record, transcripts, forensic evidence, and procedural history to uncover hidden legal grounds for relief.
Personalized Attention - You are more than a case number. From your first call, we commit to clear communication, transparency, and treating you and your family with dignity and respect.

What We Do: Post Conviction & Habeas Corpus Services

We offer a full range of Texas post conviction legal services, including:

• 11.07 Writs of Habeas Corpus - Challenge constitutional errors, ineffective assistance of counsel, suppressed evidence (Brady violations), prosecutorial misconduct, and more.
• Actual Innocence Claims and Newly Discovered Evidence - When new scientific, forensic, or witness information emerges, we can pursue relief that can overturn a conviction.
• Federal Habeas (28 U.S.C. § 2254 / 2255) -  When state remedies are exhausted, we can bring your case before federal courts.
• Motions for New Trial, Sentence Reduction & Post-Conviction Motions - If your sentence is unfairly long or new legal developments apply, we can file motions to attempt to reduce or reopen your case.
• Clemency, Pardons & Commutation Petitions - We can guide you through executive relief options when courts are no longer available

How the Post-Conviction Process Works

1. Risk Free Screening
   We review your situation at no risk to you.
2. Detailed Investigation
   If hired we obtain transcripts, exhibits, and review.
3. Legal Strategy & Writ Drafting
   Drawing on years of habeas and appeal experience, we build your strongest legal arguments into your writ application.
4. Court Briefing & Oral Argument
   We advocate aggressively for your relief in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals or federal court if needed.
5. Relief - If Successful
   Relief may include a conviction vacated, sentence reduced, a new trial, or your release.

Because Texas post conviction law is tightly constrained by statutes and deadlines, it’s critical to act swiftly. The sooner we begin, the more avenues we can explore.
