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 three counts of sexual assault and one count of indecency with a child. He was sentenced to imprisonment for twenty-five years for each sexual assault count and for twenty years for the indecency with a child count. He did not appeal his convictions.
Applicant contends that his plea was involuntary because the plea agreement cannot be followed. We remanded this application to the trial court for findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Trial counsel filed an affidavit with the trial court. Based on that affidavit and other evidence in the record, the trial court determined that applicant pleaded guilty pursuant to an agreement that his sentences would run concurrently with a federal sentence. Applicant is entitled to relief. Ex parte Huerta, 692 S.W.2d 681 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985).
Relief is granted. The judgments in Cause No. CR-08-714 in the 22nd Judicial District Court of Hays County are set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the custody of the Sheriff of Hays County to answer the charges against him.
Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Correctional Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
