Ex parte Cowan

¶1OPINION

¶2This is a habeas corpus proceeding attacking petitioner’s conviction for the sale of a dangerous drug, lysergic acid diethyla-mide (LSD), in Cause No. 38,193 in the 147th District Court of Travis County on November 6, 1967, with punishment assessed at 10 years. The imposition of the sentence was suspended, however, and the petitioner placed on probation.

¶3The application presented to the Honorable Mace Thurman, Jr., Judge of the said 147th District Court, contends that there was no valid penal law prohibiting the sale of lysergic acid diethylamide on the date of the alleged offense and that the petitioner is illegally confined and subject to certain conditions and terms of probation and should be released.

¶4Judge Thurman has forwarded the record of this proceeding to this Court along with his findings of fact and conclusions of law.

¶5Judge Thurman concluded that the petitioner is entitled to the relief he seeks in view of the holding of this Court in Houston, White v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 440 S.W. 2d 660, to the effect that the 1967 amendment to Article 726d, Vernon’s Ann.P.C. (S.B. No. 17, Acts 1967, 60th Leg., p. 1847, ch. 720) was unconstitutional.1

¶6We are in full agreement with the trial judge’s conclusion.

¶7*915The petitioner is entitled to release from further confinement and restraint by virtue of his conviction in said Cause No. 38’193'

¶8It is so ordered.
