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 theft and
sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.

v. State, 602 S.W.2d 268 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980). The findings and recommendation are supported
by the record. Relief is granted.
