Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-81,811-01

EX PARTE COURTNEY DEMON LOYD, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 142634601010 IN THE 338TH DISTRICT COURT FROM HARRIS COUNTY

Per curiam.

OPINION

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 possession of

phencyclidine in an amount of less than one gram and was sentenced to 180 days’ imprisonment in

a state jail facility. Applicant did not appeal the conviction.

Applicant contends that newly discovered laboratory analysis in this case reflects that he did

not possess any phencyclidine.

The State and trial court agree that Applicant is entitled to relief. Applicant’s claim is

supported by the habeas record. Applicant is entitled to relief. Ex parte Mable, 443 S.W.3d 129 2

(Tex. Crim. App. 2014).

Relief is granted. The judgment in Cause No. 142634601010 in the 338th District Court of

Harris County is set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the custody of the Sheriff of Harris County

to answer the charges as set out in the indictment. 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.
