Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-95,415-01

EX PARTE RYAN ANDREW FREEMAN, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. CR-XX-XXXXXXX IN THE 198TH DISTRICT COURT FROM BANDERA COUNTY

Per curiam.

OPINION

Applicant was convicted of two counts of possession of a controlled substance in a drug free

zone and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment for each count. Both the sentences were ordered to

run consecutively to a forgery conviction and count two was also ordered to be served consecutively

to count one. 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.

On November 29, 2023, the trial court entered agreed findings of fact stating that the plea

agreement between the parties was that these sentences were to run concurrently with each other, but

consecutively to a forgery conviction (Bandera County cause number CR 16-012). The nunc pro

tunc judgment on count two, filed on June 28, 2021, incorrectly states that count two is to run consecutively to count one. The trial court finds, and all parties agree, that is not an accurate

reflection of the plea bargain in this case.

Relief is granted. The judgments in cause number CR-16-086 in the 198th District Court of

Bandera County are reformed to reflect that the sentences for counts one and two are to run

concurrently with each other and consecutively to Bandera County cause number CR-16-012, a

forgery conviction with a two year sentence that was imposed on June 9, 2021.

Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice–Correctional

Institutions Division and the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
