IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS



NO. WR-81,126-01




EX PARTE GEARY WILKINS, Applicant




ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 1382149 IN THE 228TH  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 writ of habeas corpus.  Ex parte
Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967).  Applicant pleaded guilty and was convicted
of possession of a controlled substance and sentenced to 180 days’ imprisonment.  He did not appeal
his conviction.
            After Applicant pleaded guilty and was sentenced, a lab report from the Houston Police
Department revealed that the substance Applicant possessed contained no controlled substances. 
Applicant alleges that the lab report shows that he is actually innocent of possession of a controlled
substance. 
            The trial court determined that the lab report shows that Applicant did not possess controlled
substances. The trial court concluded that Applicant established by clear and convincing evidence
that no reasonable trier of fact would have convicted him in light of the new evidence, which
demonstrates that he is actually innocent.  The trial court recommends granting relief and the State
does not oppose granting relief.  Applicant is entitled to relief. 
            Relief is granted.  The judgment in Cause No. 1382149 in the 228th Judicial District Court
of Harris County is set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the Harris County Sheriff to answer the
charge against him.  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.
