        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 writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte

infirm. The trial court and the State agree that Applicant is entitled to relief, and the record supports

this conclusion. Relief is granted. The judgment in Cause No. 0970911W in the 213th Judicial
                                                                                        Douglas -- 2

of Tarrant County to answer the charges against him.
