OF TEXAS

NO. AP-75,065 EX PARTE DANNY GILMORE, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

FROM GALVESTON COUNTY

Per Curiam.

O P I N I O N

This is a post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07, V.A.C.C.P. Applicant was convicted of murder and punishment was assessed at life in prison. This conviction was affirmed. Gilmore v. State, No. 14-99-00895-CR (Tex.App. - Houston [14th], opinion delivered October 4, 2001).

Applicant contends, inter alia, that he received ineffective assistance from his trial counsel. The trial court held a hearing and has entered findings of fact and conclusions of law. The trial court concludes that the performance of Applicant's trial counsel was deficient and that prejudice resulted. The trial court's findings are supported by the record. Applicant is entitled to relief.

Relief is granted. The conviction in cause number 94CR0410 from the 212th Judicial District Court of Galveston County is set aside and Applicant is ordered remanded to the custody of the Galveston County Sheriff to answer the charge against him.

Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division.
