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.

The appeals are dismissed.
