Opinion by
Justice Rodriguez
A grand jury indicted appellee Matthew Akin for injury to a disabled individual, a third-degree felony. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.04 (West,~Westlaw through 2015 *261R.S.). In response, Akin filed a combined application for writ of habeas corpus and motion to dismiss the indictment. Akin noted that a prior administrative hearing on the same conduct found he committed no wrongdoing, and argued that this hearing triggered double jeopardy and collateral estoppel so as to bar the subsequent felony prosecution. The trial court agreed and dismissed the indictment.
