Per curiam.
ORDER
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 burglary of a
habitation and possession of a controlled substance, and sentenced to imprisonment for twenty-five
and two years, respectively. He did not appeal his convictions.
Applicant contends, among other things, that in his burglary of a habitation case trial counsel
rendered ineffective assistance. On March 19, 2014, we remanded this application and ordered the
trial court to make findings of fact and conclusions of law. After holding an evidentiary hearing, the
trial court made findings and conclusions and recommended that we deny relief. We agree. Relief 2
is denied.
Applicant’s sentence for possession of a controlled substance has discharged, and he does
not allege collateral consequences. We do not have jurisdiction under Article 11.07 if an applicant’s
sentence has discharged and he is not suffering collateral consequences. TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC.
art. 11.07, § 3(c). Accordingly, those claims relating to Applicant’s possession of a controlled
substance conviction and sentence are dismissed.
This application is denied in part and dismissed in part.
