OPINION
PER CURIAM.
These cases deal with whether an application for a writ of habeas corpus filed under Article 11.07 is timely when the applicant files it on the same day that a court of appeals issues its mandate in the applicant's direct appeal. We hold that, absent contrary evidence, a mandate is presumed to issue at 9:00 a.m. on the day the court of appeals issues it, thereby making any writ application filed later in the day timely.
