IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-75,013-01

EX PARTE WILLIAM LEWIS JAMES, JR., Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 2005-409,672-A IN THE 75,013-01 DISTRICT COURT

FROM LUBBOCK COUNTY

Per curiam.

O R D E R

This is an application for a writ of habeas corpus that was transmitted to this Court by the clerk of the trial court pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07, Section 3, of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. Ex Parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and his sentence was assessed at seven years' confinement. No direct appeal was taken.

After this Court's independent review of the record, which includes credible affidavits from trial counsel, we find that Applicant's claim that his plea was involuntary is without merit. Relief is denied.
