Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of indecency with
a child by exposure and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.

on shock probation, he was not returned to Travis County within 180 days, and as a result, the trial

Applicant’s plea agreement, that Applicant successfully served over 180 days in the Correctional
Institutions Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and that Applicant was not
returned to Travis County within 180 days. On this record, we conclude that Applicant is entitled

of Travis County is set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the custody of the sheriff of Travis
County to answer the charges in the indictment.
