ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 09CR3582-83-1 IN THE 405TH DISTRICT COURT FROM GALVESTON COUNTY

Per curiam. SLAUGHTER , J., not participating.

OPINION

Applicant pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance and was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. Applicant did not appeal his conviction. Applicant filed this application for a writ of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07.

Applicant contends that he was denied due process because the lab tech who tested the evidence seized in this case was Jonathan Salvador, who has since been discredited based on misconduct. Although Applicant has discharged his sentence in this case, he has alleged that he is suffering collateral consequences from this conviction sufficient to allow this Court to consider his claim by way of habeas corpus. Ex parte Harrington, 310 S.W.3d 452 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010). The
