Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-96,034-02

EX PARTE CHRISHAD DESHAWN MANNING, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. W-2361179-A IN THE 363RD DISTRICT COURT FROM DALLAS COUNTY

Per curiam.

OPINION

Applicant was convicted of manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance and sentenced

to seven years’ imprisonment. Applicant filed this application for a writ of habeas corpus in the

county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this Court. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC.

art. 11.07.

Applicant contends that plea was involuntary because part of the plea was that he would be

given the opportunity to obtain shock probation. However, the trial court did not timely sign the

order placing him on shock probation. Based on the record, the trial court has determined that

Applicant’s plea was involuntary.

Relief is granted. Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742 (1970). The judgment in cause 2

number F-23-61179 in the 363rd District Court of Dallas County is set aside, and Applicant is

remanded to the custody of the Sheriff of Dallas County to answer the charges as set out in the

indictment. The trial court shall issue any necessary bench warrant within ten days from the date of

this Court’s mandate.

Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice–Correctional

Institutions Division and the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
