MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Lang, and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Bridges
In this accelerated appeal, appellant challenges the trial court’s order denying his motion
for a personal recognizance bond or to reduce his appeal bond to $5000. By judgment dated
June 15, 2015, this Court affirmed appellant’s underlying conviction. See Arthur v. State, No.
05-14-00439-CR, (Tex. App.—Dallas June 15, 2015, no pet. h.) (mem. op., not designated for
publication). Therefore, the issues raised in this accelerated appeal are moot. See Freeman v.
State, 828 S.W.2d 179, 181-82 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1992, pet. ref’d) (cause
becomes moot when appellate court’s judgment cannot have any practical legal effect upon
controversy).
We dismiss this accelerated appeal as moot.
