                                            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 with

intent to deliver a controlled substance and sentenced to twenty-five years’ imprisonment. The

Fourteenth Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of conviction. Sanchez v. State, No. 14-11-

00690-CR (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2012, pet. ref’d).

        Applicant contends that his plea was involuntary. The trial court made findings of fact and

conclusions of law and recommended that we grant relief. Relief is granted. The judgment in cause
                                                                                                     2
