IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
                         OF TEXAS
                                          NO. AP-76,324

                      EX PARTE FREDDIE PANIAGUA, Applicant

              ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
             CAUSE NO. 2007CR7630 IN THE 144 TH DISTRICT COURT
                           FROM BEXAR COUNTY

       Per curiam.

                                           OPINION

       Pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the

clerk of the trial court transmitted to this Court this application for writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte

Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of possession with

intent to deliver a controlled substance and sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment. He did not

appeal his conviction.

       Applicant contends that his guilty plea was rendered involuntary because, inter alia,

performance of his plea agreement became impossible after the trial court lost jurisdiction of his

case. Applicant contends that his plea agreement called for him to serve time in boot camp and to
                                                                                                   2

be brought back to Bexar County after successful completion of boot camp to be considered for

community supervision. He contends that by the time he was brought back to Bexar County after

successful completion of boot camp, the trial court had lost jurisdiction to place him on community

supervision and he was sent back to TDCJ. The trial court issued findings of fact and conclusions

of law and determined that Applicant is entitled to relief. We agree.

       Relief is granted. The judgment in Cause No. 2007CR7630 in the 144th Judicial District

Court of Bexar County is set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the custody of the sheriff of Bexar

County to answer the charges as set out in the indictment.

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

Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
