Per curiam.
OPINION
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the
clerk of the trial court transmitted to this Court this application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte
Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of possession of less
than one gram of cocaine, and, after adjudication, was sentenced to seven months’ imprisonment in
a state jail facility. Applicant did not appeal the conviction.
Applicant contends that newly discovered laboratory analysis in this case reflects that she did
not possess any cocaine.
The State and trial court agree that Applicant is entitled to relief. Applicant’s claim is
2
supported by the habeas record. Applicant is entitled to relief. Ex parte Mable, 443 S.W.3d 129
(Tex. Crim. App. 2014).
Relief is granted. The judgment in Cause No. 1180093 in the 230th District Court of Harris
County is set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the custody of the Sheriff of Harris County to
answer the charges as set out in the indictment. The trial court shall issue any necessary bench
warrant within 10 days after the mandate of this Court issues.
Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice–Correctional
Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
