In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-16-00279-CR ____________________ JASON DELACERDA, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee ________________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 356th District Court Hardin County, Texas Trial Cause No. 21284 ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Jason Delacerda appealed the denial of his motion to set a pre-trial bond in a capital murder case. Delacerda filed a motion to set bond. The trial court denied the motion after conducting an evidentiary hearing. The clerk’s record does not contain an application for a writ of habeas corpus, and the trial court neither treated Delacerda’s request for bail as a habeas application nor issued a ruling on his right to habeas relief. 1 “There is no constitutional or statutory authority granting the courts of appeals jurisdiction to hear interlocutory appeals regarding excessive bail or the denial of bail.” Ragston v. State, 424 S.W.3d 49, 52 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). We lack jurisdiction to consider Delacerda’s appeal from the trial court’s pretrial bail ruling in this case. See id. The appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. APPEAL DISMISSED. ________________________________ CHARLES KREGER Justice Submitted on November 22, 2016 Opinion Delivered March 15, 2017 Do Not Publish Before Kreger, Horton, and Johnson, JJ. 2
