IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS




NOS. AP-76,171, AP-76,172 & AP-76,173





EX PARTE EDMUNDO GONZALEZ, Applicant





ON APPLICATIONS FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NOS. 2002-CRP00-105-D3, 2001-CRJ00-309-D3 & 2001-CRM00-307-D3

IN THE 341ST DISTRICT COURT

FROM WEBB COUNTY





           Per curiam.


O P I N I O N


            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 these applications for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). In cause number 2002-CRP00-105-D3, Applicant was convicted of, among other things, retaliation and possession of a controlled substance and sentenced to two terms of ten years’ imprisonment. In cause number 2001-CRJ00-309-D3, he was convicted of burglary of a habitation and aggravated assault and sentenced to two terms of ten years’ imprisonment. And in cause number 2001-CRM00-307-D3, he was convicted of three counts of assault on a public servant and three counts of retaliation and sentenced to six terms of ten years’ imprisonment. Applicant did not appeal his convictions.

            Applicant contends that his pleas were rendered involuntary because he pleaded guilty pursuant to agreements stipulating that he would be sent to boot camp. The trial court found, among other things, that it was understood from the agreements that Applicant would be sent to boot camp, that Applicant was sent to boot camp before he pleaded guilty to the charges in cause number 2002-CRP00-105-D3, and that the trial court’s jurisdiction to place Applicant on probation had elapsed.

            Applicant is entitled to relief. The convictions in cause numbers 2002-CRP00-105-D3, 2001-CRJ00-309-D3 and 2001-CRM00-307-D3 from the 341st Judicial District Court of Webb County are set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the custody of the sheriff of Webb County to answer the charges in the indictments.

            Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice–Correctional Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
