Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-81,598-01

EX PARTE QUENTIN BRYANT, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 1406203-A IN THE 208TH DISTRICT COURT FROM HARRIS COUNTY

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

marihuana in an amount of five pounds or less but more than four ounces and sentenced to two

years’ imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.

Applicant contends that newly discovered evidence in this case only supports a conviction

for the lesser included offense of possession of marihuana in an amount of four ounces or less but

more than two ounces. 2

Applicant’s claim is supported by the habeas record. Applicant is entitled to relief. State v.

Wilson, 324 S.W.3d 595 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010).

Relief is granted. The judgment in Cause No. 1406203-A in the 208th 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.
