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 pleaded guilty to possessing one
to four grams of cocaine with the intent to deliver. He was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment.
He did not appeal his conviction.
In a single ground, Applicant contends that the substance he possessed is Benzocaine, which
is not a controlled substance. The trial court recommended that we grant relief.
We find that Applicant’s plea was involuntary. Ex parte Mable, 2014 Tex. Crim. App.

LEXIS 974 (Tex. Crim. App. Sept. 17, 2014). Relief is granted. The judgment in cause number
14CR1521 in the 405th District Court of Galveston County is set aside, and Applicant is remanded
to the custody of the Sheriff of Galveston 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
