Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of kidnapping and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.

            Applicant pleaded guilty pursuant to an agreement that the trial court would be able to consider shock probation as a sentencing option. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 42.12, § 6. Applicant contends, however, that the 180-day deadline in § 6 expired and that the trial court lost jurisdiction.

In cause number 13CR-019 in the 349th District Court of Houston County, the trial court’s jurisdiction to consider probation under § 6 shall begin on the day this Court issues mandate.
