NO. 14-21-00408-CR
EX PARTE SHERMAINE CHILDRESS
On Appeal from the 184th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1728614
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Shermaine Childress, has signed and filed a written request to
dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. Appellant was appealing the trial
court’s order on his writ of habeas corpus seeking a reduction of bail. In his motion
to dismiss, appellant states that he has made bail and been released from custody
rendering this appeal moot. See Ex parte Guerrero, 99 S.W.3d 852, 82 (Tex.
App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2003, no pet.) (stating, “[t]he longstanding rule in
Texas regarding habeas corpus is that “where the premise of a habeas corpus
application is destroyed by subsequent developments, the legal issues raised
thereunder are moot.”).
Accordingly, we grant appellant’s motion and dismiss the appeal as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Hassan and Poissant.
