EX PARTE CAROLYN ANN SAMANO, Applicant
Do not publish
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 19-0576-CR-C-A IN THE 25TH DISTRICT COURT FROM GUADALUPE COUNTY
ORDER
Per curiam.
Applicant was convicted of engaging in organized criminal activity and sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment. The Applicant did not file a direct appeal. 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 that her guilty plea was involuntary because she was misinformed about the aggravated nature of the charge. The trial court has determined that Applicant was not properly advised and that Applicant's guilty plea was involuntary.
However, based on our independent review of the entire record, this Court finds that Applicant has failed to meet her burden to show that there is a reasonable probability that she would not have pled guilty and would have insisted on going to trial but for counsel's errors. Ex parte Morrow, 952 S.W.2d 530 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997). We deny relief.
