Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
VINSON, Associate Justice
(concurring).
I concur in the result, and add a short statement of my views on this case.
The petition for the writ was filed, if substance rather than form be considered.
The petition stated facts which, if true, entitled appellant to be discharged from custody.
The writ should have issued or, in the alternative, a rule to show cause.
The appellant, represented by competent counsel, was entitled to a hearing.
