ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 379216 IN THE 185TH DISTRICT COURT

FROM HARRIS 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 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 aggravated rape and sentenced to seventy-five years’ imprisonment. The First Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Green v. State, No. 01-83-00629-CR (Tex. App.–Houston [1st Dist.] 1984, no pet.).

            Applicant contends that he is actually innocent. The trial court adopted Applicant’s and the State’s proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law and recommended that we grant relief. We agree that Applicant is entitled to relief. The judgment in Cause No. 379216 in the 185th Judicial 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 against him.

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