PHAM, EX PARTE TUAN THANH v. the State of Texas

Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS

PD-0165-22

EX PARTE TUAN THANH PHAM, Appellee

ON DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

FROM THE FOURTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS HARRIS COUNTY

Per curiam.

OPINION

Appellee pleaded guilty to the unlawful practice of dentistry. The trial court deferred

adjudication and placed him on probation for two years; he completed that probation and the

case was dismissed. He later filed a habeas application pursuant to Article 11.072 of the

Texas Code of Criminal Procedure arguing that his guilty plea had been involuntary and that

he had received ineffective assistance of counsel. The trial court granted habeas relief. The

Court of Appeals reversed. Ex parte Pham, 640 S.W.3d 645 (Tex. App. – Houston [14th

Dist.] 2022).

We granted review of this case on our motion. We now dismiss.
