    EX PARTE ISAAC DIXON, Applicant
    ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
    CAUSE NO. 1435751-A IN THE 230TH 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 was convicted of possession of a
    controlled substance and sentenced to ninety days in the county jail. He did not appeal his
    conviction.
    Applicant contends that his plea was involuntary and his due process rights were violated
    because subsequent forensic testing has revealed that the substance contained no illicit materials.
    The State and the trial court agree that Applicant is entitled to relief.
