Per curiam.

O P I N I O N

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 these applications for a 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 felon in possession of a firearm. He was sentenced to imprisonment for fifteen and ten years, respectively. He did not appeal his convictions.

Applicant contends that he pleaded guilty on the condition that his sentences would run concurrently with a federal sentence. We remanded these applications to the trial court for findings of fact and conclusions of law. The trial court has determined that Applicant pleaded guilty pursuant to agreements that his sentences would run concurrently with a federal sentence. Applicant is entitled to relief. Ex parte Huerta, 692 S.W.2d 681 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985).

Relief is granted. The judgments in cause numbers 9449 and 9450 in the 31st District Court of Gray County are set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the custody of the Sheriff of Gray County to answer the charges set out in the indictments. The trial court shall issue any necessary bench warrant within 10 days after the mandate of this Court issues.

Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Correctional Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
