EX PARTE JAMES CLOUD
On Appeal from the 177th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1066934
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
Appellant was charged with the offense of violation of a protective order. The trial court set pre-trial bond at $5,000. Appellant was subsequently found to have violated the conditions of bond. Bail was revoked and appellant was remanded into custody. Appellant then filed a pre-trial application for writ of habeas corpus seeking either to be discharged from custody or that bond be set at $5,000. After a hearing, the trial court denied the application.
This Court has learned that appellant pled guilty and was sentenced on August 7, 2006, to 100 days in the Harris County Jail. Appellant=s plea 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 appellant=s appeal as moot.
