EX PARTE RYUN DAVID WAHLGREN, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 1455453-A IN THE 183 DISTRICT COURT FROM HARRIS COUNTY Per curiam. OPINION
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 a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of failure to register as a sex offender and sentenced to two years' imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.
Applicant contends that his plea was involuntary because he was not informed that he was not required to register as a sex offender. The State agrees that Applicant's plea in this case was involuntary.
The trial court's recommendation to grant relief on this ground is supported by the record. Applicant is entitled to relief on his claim that his plea in this case was involuntary. Ex parte Huerta, 692 S.W.2d 681 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985).
Relief is granted. The judgment in Cause No. 145545301010 in the 183 District Court of Harris County is set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the custody of the Sheriff of Harris County to answer the charges as set out in the indictment. The trial court shall issue any necessary bench warrant within 10 days after the mandate of this Court issues.
Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Correctional Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division. Delivered: September 13, 2017 Do not publish
