Oscar Costilla Martinez v. State
Oscar Costilla Martinez v. State
Opinion
Oscar Costilla Martinez filed motions to reduce his pretrial bail in these prosecutions for manufacture and delivery of controlled substances. Following a hearing, the motions were granted and bail was reduced from $350,000 to $300,000 in each cause. Martinez then filed notices of appeal to this Court.
These are not habeas corpus proceedings. This Court does not have jurisdiction to entertain interlocutory appeals from orders on pretrial bail motions. Vargas v. State, 109 S.W.3d 26, 29 (Tex. App.--Amarillo 2003, no pet.); Benford v. State, 994 S.W.2d 404, 409 (Tex. App.--Waco 1999, no pet.); Ex parte Shumake, 953 S.W.2d 842, 846-47 (Tex. App.--Austin 1997, no pet.).
The appeals are dismissed.
