IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
                          OF TEXAS
                                         NO. WR-85,058-01

                        EX PARTE CHAD WAYNE TILLER, Applicant

               ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
            CAUSE NO. 15-08-08855-CR (1) IN THE 410TH DISTRICT COURT
                         FROM MONTGOMERY 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 a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte

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

controlled substance and sentenced to three years’ imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.

        Applicant contends that newly discovered laboratory analysis in this case reflects that he did

not possess any controlled substance. Applicant’s claim is supported by the habeas record, and the

State and the trial court agree that Applicant is entitled to habeas relief. See Ex parte Mable, 443
S.W.3d 129 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014).
                                                                                                  2

       Relief is granted. The judgment in Cause No. 15-08-08855-CR in the 410th District Court

of Montgomery County is set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the custody of the Sheriff of

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