Ex parte Routon
Ex parte Routon
Opinion of the Court
Relator has through the years brought applications for writs
“This sentence shall not run concurrent with any other sentence heretofore received by Monroe Routon.”
Clearly, the Midland County order is inoperative. Ex parte Knox, 165 Tex. Cr. Rep. 49, 303 S.W. 2d 388, and Ex parte All-red, 166 Tex. Cr. Rep. 73, 311 S.W. 2d 850, and cases there cited.
It follows that if the Midland County case is inoperative, then the Waller County one would be also because it is tied to the Midland County conviction.
The writ of habeas corpus is granted, and relator is ordered discharged.
