Opinion

Opinion issued May 25, 2023

In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-23-00112-CR ——————————— LACEDRIC BANKS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 184th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1745911

MEMORANDUM OPINION On February 24, 2023, appellant Lacedric Banks filed a notice of appeal stating his desire to appeal the denial of his pretrial application for a writ of habeas corpus challenging the constitutionality of the statute being used to prosecute appellant. On February 27, 2023, the charges in the underlying case against appellant were dismissed. Appellant subsequently filed a Suggestion of Mootness asserting that the dismissal of the underlying charges renders his habeas claim moot and our Court thus lacks jurisdiction over the appeal. See Ex parte Bailey, No. 14-20-00837- CR, 2021 WL 2546163, at *1 (Tex. App.— Houston [14th Dist.] June 22, 2021, no pet.) (mem. op, not designated for publication). We agree. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Goodman, Landau, and Rivas-Molloy.
