Facing deportation upon his release from prison, Flores filed a state habeas corpus petition in October 2014 to withdraw his plea based on the prosecution's failure to disclose prior to his plea that the officer who arrested him had been suspended for 30 days without pay for filing a false report of his arrest of Flores and for failing to take Flores for medical treatment on the day of the arrest. During the subsequent hearing the Bexar County DA did not oppose Flores' petition, and the trial judge recommended it be granted. On September 16, 2015 the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals granted Flores' petition vacating his plea based on the prosecution's failure to disclose the favorble evidence prior to Flores' plea. The Bexas County DA filed a motion to dismiss Flores' charges, which was granted on October 21, 2015."
