EX PARTE RODNEY GRAY

 

 

 

On Appeal from the 278th District Court

 Grimes County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 29,711

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant is charged with the offense of murder.  The trial court set pre-trial bond at  $200,000.  Appellant filed a pre-trial application for writ of habeas corpus seeking a bond reduction.  This Court has been advised that appellant has been found guilty in a jury trial and has been sentenced to six years= imprisonment.  The judgment of guilt renders the issue of pretrial bond moot.  See Ex parte Morgan, 335 S.W.2d 766, 766 (Tex. Crim. App. 1960); Ex parte Bennet, 818 S.W.2d 199, 200 (Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 1991, no pet.) (stating that Awhere the premise of a habeas corpus application is destroyed by subsequent developments, the legal issues raised thereunder are rendered moot.@). 

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal as moot.
