EX PARTE LAMONTE DONNELL WARREN, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 1027761-A IN THE 182ND DISTRICT COURT FROM HARRIS COUNTY

Per curiam.
OPINION

Applicant pleaded guilty, was convicted of possession of a controlled substance, and

sentenced to three years’ imprisonment in this cause. Applicant filed this application for a writ of

habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this Court. See TEX.

CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 11.07.

Applicant contends that he was denied due process because he was not aware of a lab report

showing that he possessed less than the required amount of controlled substance to sustain the

charge. The trial court finds that Applicant is entitled to relief.

We agree. Relief is granted. Ex parte Mable, 443 S.W.3d 129 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014),

Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742 (1970). The judgment in cause number 1027761 in the 182nd

District Court of Harris County is set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the custody of the Sheriff
2

of Harris County to answer the charge as set out in the indictment. The trial court shall issue any

necessary bench warrant within ten days from the date of this Court’s mandate.

Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice–Correctional

Institutions Division and the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
