IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
                         OF TEXAS
                                          NO. AP-76,123

                    EX PARTE JIMMIE LEE HENDERSON, Applicant

               ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
               CAUSE NO. 40,993-B IN THE 78TH DISTRICT COURT
                          FROM WICHITA 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 robbery and

sentenced to ten (10) years’ imprisonment. The Second Court of Appeals dismissed his appeal. See

Henderson v. State, No. 02-04-00554-CR, (Tex. App.– Fort Worth, 2005, no pet.) (not designated

for publication).

       Applicant alleges that he was arrested while in Florida because the authorities erroneously

believed that he was a person by the name of Bobby Henderson from Smith County, Texas, with an
                                                                                                     2

outstanding parole-revocation warrant. He alleges that he was transferred to Smith County, Texas,

on October 26, 2005, and confined there until February 16, 2006, when he was transferred to Wichita

County. Applicant seeks credit for the period of time he was confined in Smith County.

         On October 29, 2008, this Court remanded this application so that the record could be

supplemented with more evidence. In response to this Court’s remand order, the trial judge

supplemented the record with inter alia affidavits from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice,

the Florida Department of Corrections, and the Wichita County Sheriff’s Department. The trial

judge has entered findings of fact and conclusions of law recommending that relief be granted. We

agree.

         Applicant is entitled to credit for the time that he was confined in Smith County. The Texas

Department of Criminal Justice shall credit Applicant’s sentence in cause number 40,993-B from

the 78th District Court of Wichita County with 114 days jail time credit.

         Copies of this opinion will be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional

and Pardons and Paroles Divisions.
