                          EX PARTE COREY JACKSON, Applicant

                ON APPLICATIONS FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
                   CAUSE NOS. W10-30843-H(A) & W10-30844-H(A)
                      IN CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 1
                            FROM DALLAS 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 these applications for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex

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

possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.

He was sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment on each count. He did not appeal his convictions.

       Applicant contends, among other things, that although he pleaded guilty with the

understanding that he would serve his sentences in a federal penitentiary, he is not serving his

sentences there. The trial court concluded that Applicant’s pleas were involuntary and recommended
                                                                                                    2

that we grant relief.

        Relief is granted. The judgments in cause numbers F-1030843-H and F-1030844-H in

Criminal District Court No. 1 from Dallas County are set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the

custody of the Sheriff of Dallas County to answer the charges as set out in the indictments. The trial

court shall issue any necessary bench warrant within 10 days after the mandate of this Court issues.

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

Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
