                                         NO. WR-82,110-01

                     EX PARTE ALDO ROBERTO TREVINO, Applicant

                  ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
                  CAUSE NO. 1295171-A IN THE 179TH DISTRICT COURT
                              FROM HARRIS COUNTY

        Per curiam. Yeary, J., filed a dissenting opinion.

                                            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 a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte

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

of a minor and was sentenced to fifteen years’ imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.

        This Court, in Ex parte Lo, held unconstitutional the online solicitation of a minor statute for

which Applicant was convicted. Ex parte Lo, 424 S.W.3d 10 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). Applicant,

through counsel, filed this habeas application based on the Lo decision and asks that his conviction
                                                                                                     2

be set aside. The trial court recommends that relief be granted in this cause. We agree in part.1

       Relief is granted. The judgment in Cause No. 1295171 in the 179th District Court of Harris

County is set aside and Applicant is set aside and the cause is remanded so the trial court can dismiss

the indictment.

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

Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
