OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Applicant pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and evading arrest and was sentenced to twenty years and ten years' imprisonment. Applicant filed these applications for writs of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded them to this Court. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07.

Applicant contends that plea was involuntary because trial counsel failed to properly investigate and the State withheld favorable evidence from the defense. Based on the record, the trial court has determined that Applicant's plea was involuntary and the State withheld favorable evidence from the defense. The State agrees that relief should be granted.

Relief is granted. Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742 (1970); Ex parte Kimes, 872 S.W.2d 700, 702-703 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993). The judgments in cause numbers D-18-2471-CR & D-18-2472-CR in the 358
