rendered ineffective assistance. On March 19, 2014, we remanded this application and ordered the

trial court to make findings of fact and conclusions of law. After holding an evidentiary hearing, the

trial court made findings and conclusions and recommended that we deny relief. We agree. Relief

       Applicant’s sentence for possession of a controlled substance has discharged, and he does

not allege collateral consequences. We do not have jurisdiction under Article 11.07 if an applicant’s

sentence has discharged and he is not suffering collateral consequences. TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC.

art. 11.07, § 3(c). Accordingly, those claims relating to Applicant’s possession of a controlled

substance conviction and sentence are dismissed.

       This application is denied in part and dismissed in part.
