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
assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment.
In the instant application, in ground one, Applicant alleges that he is actually innocent. In

involuntary.
This Court has reviewed Applicant’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and
involuntary plea and has determined that they are without merit. Therefore, grounds two and three

are denied. Applicant’s claim of actual innocence has been validly waived and is barred from
review; as such, ground one is dismissed. Ex parte Reedy, 282 S.W.3d 492 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009).
