IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-93,662-01

EX PARTE TERRY LEE YEARLING, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. W20-60819-V(A) IN THE 292nd DISTRICT COURT FROM DALLAS COUNTY

Per curiam. YEARY , J., filed a dissenting opinion in which KELLER , P.J., joined.

OPINION Applicant was convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and sentenced to three years’ imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction. Applicant filed this application for a writ of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this Court.

See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07.

Applicant contends, among other things, that his plea was involuntary because it was induced by material misrepresentations by law enforcement officers in their probable cause affidavit and incident reports that the search and subsequent discovery of the firearm in Applicant’s hotel room were done legally. Based on the record, the trial court has determined that Applicant’s plea was involuntary.

Relief is granted. Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742 (1970). The judgment in cause number F-20-60819-V in the 292nd District Court of Dallas County is set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the custody of the Sheriff of Dallas County to answer the charges as set out in the indictment. The trial court shall issue any necessary bench warrant within ten days from the date of this Court’s mandate.

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