Opinion of the Court
OPINION
This is an appeal from a habeas corpus hearing denying appellants’ motion to be discharged from custody.
Appellants
At the conclusion of the hearing the court denied appellants’ motion for discharge, but reduced the bail of the named appellants from $1,000 and $5,000, respectively, to $500 and $1,000, respectively.
Without passing on the question of whether the court may entertain this type of class action, we observe there is no showing that appellants attempted to make bond on the reduced bail.
In Roberts v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 467 S.W.2d 475, we said:
“It is settled law in this State that the appellants must show that they have made*670 an effort to furnish bail in the reduced amount before they can successfully complain about that reduced amount on appeal.”
See also Ex parte Morgan, Tex.Cr.App., 461 S.W.2d 406, and the cases cited therein.
Finding no abuse of the trial court’s discretion, the judgment is affirmed.
. Appellant May’s name also appears in the record as Lay.
