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 Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of aggravated robbery and sentenced to thirty years' imprisonment. The Fourth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Cano v. State, No. 04-05-00705-CR (Tex. App. --San Antonio Nov 15, 2006, no pet.). Applicant contends that his appellate counsel rendered ineffective assistance because counsel failed to timely notify Applicant that his conviction had been affirmed and failed to advise him of his right to petition for discretionary review pro se.

The trial court has entered findings of fact and conclusions of law that appellate counsel failed to timely notify Applicant that his conviction had been affirmed and failed to advise him of his right to petition for discretionary appeal pro se. The trial court recommends that relief be granted. Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997). We find, therefore, that Applicant is entitled to the opportunity to file an out-of-time petition for discretionary review of the judgment of the Fourth Court of Appeals in Cause No. 04-05-00705-CR that affirmed his conviction in Case No. 2004CR1360A from the 379th Judicial District Court of Bexar County. Applicant shall file his petition for discretionary review with the Fourth Court of Appeals within 30 days of the date on which this Court's mandate issues.
