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

of a minor. Tex. Penal Code § 33.021(b). He was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment. He did
not appeal his conviction.

Crim. App. 2013). Applicant now contends that in light of Lo his conviction is no longer valid. We
agree. Ex parte Chance, 439 S.W.3d 918 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). Relief is granted. The judgment
