AP-76,882 EX PARTE ANDREW JOSEPH LEWIS, AKA JOSEPH ANDREW FRANK, Applicant ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 10-08484-A IN THE 252nd DISTRICT COURT FROM JEFFERSON COUNTY Per curiam. OPINION 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 twenty years imprisonment. The Ninth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Frank v. State, No. 09-11-00293-CR (Tex. App. Beaumont, delivered November 9, 2011, no pet.). Applicant contends, inter alia, that his plea was involuntary because he was not properly admonished of the correct punishment range by either counsel, the State, or the trial court. Based upon the record in this case, the trial court has determined the Applicant was improperly admonished regarding the punishment range prior to entering his plea of guilty. 2 Applicant is entitled to relief. Ex parte Huerta, 692 S.W.2d 681 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985). Relief is granted.
