PER CURIAM.
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.

Applicant contends that guilty-plea counsel failed to advise him of the deportation consequences of his plea. The trial court concluded that counsel was deficient and rendered Applicant's plea involuntary.
Relief is granted.

The trial court shall issue any necessary bench warrant within 10 days after the mandate of this Court issues.
Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Correctional Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
