ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 2015CRS001588D1(A) IN THE 49TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM WEBB COUNTY

Per curiam. KELLER , P.J., YEARY , and SLAUGHTER , JJ. dissent.

OPINION

Applicant was convicted of two counts of sexual assault of a child and sentenced to twenty

years’ imprisonment on each count to be served consecutively. The Fourth Court of Appeals

affirmed his conviction. Trevino v. State, No. 04-17-00133-CR (Tex. App.—San Antonio July 5,

2018)(not designated for publication). 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 trial counsel was ineffective by failing to present mitigation evidence

during the punishment hearing. Based on the record, the trial court has determined that trial

counsel’s performance was deficient and that Applicant was prejudiced.

Relief is granted. Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984). The sentence in cause

number 2015CRS001588D1 in the 49th District Court of Webb County is set aside, and Applicant

is remanded to the custody of the Sheriff of Webb County for a new punishment hearing. The trial

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