Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-24-00470-CR

Ex parte Omega Pearl Grainger

FROM THE 421ST DISTRICT COURT OF CALDWELL COUNTY NO. DCCV-24-136, THE HONORABLE CHRIS SCHNEIDER, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Omega Pearl Grainger has filed a notice of appeal from the district court’s ruling on her pretrial application for writ of habeas corpus, seeking a reduction in the amount of bond. The State has filed an agreed motion to dismiss the appeal, representing that the parties have agreed to Grainger’s release on a personal bond with conditions of pretrial release and that Grainger has been released in accordance with that agreement, rendering this appeal moot. See Ex parte Guerrero, 99 S.W.3d 852, 853 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.]

2003, no pet.). The State further represents that it has contacted Grainger’s attorney, who has no objection to the motion.

We have no jurisdiction over an appeal that is moot. See Ex parte Huerta, 582 S.W.3d 407, 411 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2018, pet. ref’d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction and dismiss the State’s motion as moot. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
