EX PARTE QUINCEY PRESTON
On Appeal from the 262nd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 928,965
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
Appellant was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and simple possession. The trial court set pre-trial bond in the amount of $30,000.00 on each charge, which appellant posted. On October 21, 2002, appellant was late for his court appearance and the trial court revoked both $30,000.00 bonds and reset bond at $60,000.00 each. Appellant then filed a pre-trial application for writ of habeas corpus in the trial court challenging the trial court=s decision to forfeit appellant=s bonds and reset bond at twice the original amount. This Court has been advised that appellant has pleaded guilty to both charges. The trial court sentenced appellant to seven years= confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice--Institutional Division for possession with intent to deliver, and one year confinement in a state jail facility for simple possession. Appellant=s guilty pleas render the issue of pre-trial bond moot. See Ex parte Morgan, 335 S.W.2d 766 (Tex. Crim. App. 1960). Accordingly, we dismiss appellant=s appeal.
