ORDER

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 writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant pleaded guilty and was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision. Later, he pleaded true to a motion to adjudicate, was adjudicated guilty, and was convicted of attempted sexual assault and sentenced to five years’ imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.

Applicant contends, inter alia, that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance because he did not advise Applicant of an applicable affirmative defense, the consequences of violating deferred adjudication community supervision, the amount of time Applicant would have to register as a sex offender, and the costs, fees, and fines included in the conviction. Applicant contends that counsel’s omissions caused his plea to be involuntary and alleges that he would not have pleaded guilty had he been fully informed about each of these issues. Applicant also alleges that the trial court did not admonish him about to the consequences of a violation of his deferred adjudication community supervision under Article 42.12 § 5 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and that this rendered his guilty plea involuntary.
