IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS

NO. 74,657


 

EX PARTE TIMOTHY ROBERT KLINE, Applicant

 
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
FROM BROWN COUNTY

Per Curiam.

O P I N I O N

This is a post-conviction application for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to Article 11.07, V.A.C.C.P. Applicant was convicted of aggravated sexual assault and punishment was assessed at fifteen years imprisonment. No appeal was taken from this conviction.

Applicant contends, inter alia, that his guilty plea was involuntary. The trial court has conducted a hearing and entered findings that Applicant pled guilty without being advised that he would be required to register as a sex offender as a result of this conviction, and that Applicant would not have pled guilty if he had been properly advised. Applicant is entitled to relief.

Relief is granted. The judgment in cause number 15,370 in the 35th Judicial District Court of Brown County is set aside and Applicant is remanded to answer the charges against him.

Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, institutional and pardons and paroles divisions.
