IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS


NO. 74,630 & 74,631



EX PARTE WILLIE EARL LIPSCOMB, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
FROM DALLAS COUNTY

Per Curiam., Keasler, J., not participating.

O P I N I O N

These are post-conviction applications for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to Article 11.07, V.A.C.C.P. Applicant was convicted of theft and possession of cocaine and punishment was assessed at seven years imprisonment. No appeal was taken from these convictions.

Applicant contends that these sentences expired while he was on parole for them and other sentences. The trial court has entered findings, supported by the record, that Applicant's sentences began January 11, 1993, that he was released on parole on these and other older sentences, and that this parole was revoked in 2001, but the correct beginning date for these offenses was not entered until 2002, after his other sentences had expired. Applicant is still being restrained for these convictions under conditions of mandatory supervision release. Applicant's sentences in these causes have expired. Applicant is entitled to relief.

Relief is granted. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, institutional and pardons and paroles divisions, shall correct Applicant's records to reflect that the sentences in cause numbers F9339658-JV and F9266890-JV in the 292nd Judicial District Court of Dallas County have expired.

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