Applicant filed these applications for writs of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded them to this Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC . art. 11.07.

Based on the record, the trial court has determined that Applicant’s plea was involuntary and the State withheld favorable evidence from the defense. The State agrees that relief should be granted.
