The Texas Innocence Network (TIN) has two divisions, the Non-Capital Division and Capital Division. The Non-Capital Division works to exonerate inmates who did not commit the crimes for which they were wrongfully convicted. The Non-Capital Division evaluates, investigates, and litigates claims of actual innocence to fulfill their mission. First, they review the case file to determine whether the evidence indicates that the inmate was wrongfully convicted, then attempt to locate the exonerating evidence. Once evidence is established, the Non-Capital Division provides post-conviction legal assistance to wrongfully-convicted inmates by filing petitions for a writ of habeas corpus, clemency applications, or both. The Capital Division represents death-sentenced inmates in their state and federal habeas appeals. TIN attorneys rely largely on student interns to conduct the exhaustive investigations necessary to develop the claims raised in these proceedings. The Capital Division also responds to requests from inmates who have been denied relief in their habeas proceedings and for whom an execution date is imminent. In these “crisis cases,” TIN attorneys and interns work tirelessly to identify and develop potential claims to stop the execution. They also provide research and investigative support for other attorneys representing Texas death row inmates. If you require further information, kindly contact the Texas Innocence Network.
