O P I N I O N

           In his subsequent application for a writ of habeas corpus, Applicant claimed that the State failed to disclose material evidence in violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963). We determined that Applicant had met the requirements of Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.071, § 5, and we remanded to the trial court to resolve the claim and to issue findings of fact and conclusions of law. After remand, the trial court signed “Agreed Proposed Findings of Fact & Conclusions of Law” recommending that relief be granted on Applicant’s Brady claims. Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963). We have reviewed the record and the agreed findings of fact and conclusions of law, and we conclude that they are supported by the record. Accordingly, we grant relief on Applicant’s Brady claims, and we remand the cause for a new trial.
