IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. AP-75,870

EX PARTE JUSTIN MICHAEL DOUGLAS, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. C-213-008223-0970911-A IN THE 213TH DISTRICT COURT FROM TARRANT 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 writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte

Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of possession of a

controlled substance and sentenced to three (3) years’ imprisonment. He did not appeal his

conviction.

In a single ground for review, Applicant contends that his conviction is constitutionally

infirm. The trial court and the State agree that Applicant is entitled to relief, and the record supports

this conclusion. Relief is granted. The judgment in Cause No. 0970911W in the 213th Judicial Douglas -- 2

District Court of Tarrant County is set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the custody of the Sheriff

of Tarrant 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.
