EX PARTE CATHY KRUPPA, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 1076913-A IN THE 337TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM HARRIS 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 pleaded guilty to possession of a
controlled substance and was sentenced to 30 days’ imprisonment. She did not appeal her
conviction.
Applicant contends that her plea was involuntary because the substance she possessed
contained no illicit materials.
The trial court made findings of fact and conclusions of law and recommended that we set
2
aside Applicant’s conviction.
We agree that Applicant is entitled to relief. Ex parte Mable, 443 S.W.3d 129 (Tex. Crim.
App. 2014). Relief is granted. The judgment in cause number 1076913 in the 337th District Court
of Harris County is set aside, and, if in custody, Applicant is remanded to the custody of the Sheriff
of Harris County to answer the charges as set out in the indictment. 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.
