IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS

NO. AP-76,361

EX PARTE MANUEL LOPEZ, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. D-1-DC-08-900100 IN THE 427TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

           Per curiam.
 
O P I N I O N

            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 indecency with
a child by exposure and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.
            Applicant contends that although he pleaded guilty on the condition that he would be placed
on shock probation, he was not returned to Travis County within 180 days, and as a result, the trial
court no longer had jurisdiction to place him on shock probation when he eventually returned. Tex.
Code Crim. Proc. art. 42.12, § 6. The trial court found that shock probation was a condition of
Applicant’s plea agreement, that Applicant successfully served over 180 days in the Correctional
Institutions Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and that Applicant was not
returned to Travis County within 180 days. On this record, we conclude that Applicant is entitled
to relief. The conviction in cause number  D-1-DC-08-900100 from the 427th Judicial District Court
of Travis County is set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the custody of the sheriff of Travis
County to answer the charges in the indictment.
