Ex Parte Isaias Cabello ( 2020 )

In The
Court of Appeals
Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
No. 07-20-00208-CR
EX PARTE ISAIAS CABELLO, APPELLANT
On Appeal from the 140th District Court
Lubbock County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2016-409,543, Honorable Jim Bob Darnell, Presiding
November 3, 2020
OPINION ON MOTION TO DISMISS
Before QUINN, C.J., and PIRTLE and PARKER, JJ.
Appellant Isaias Cabello appeals from the trial court’s denial of his “First Amended
Motion for Bond Reduction.” After appellant filed his brief, the State filed a motion to
dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant was given ten days to respond to the
motion and failed to do so. We dismiss the appeal.
According to the State’s motion, the Court of Criminal Appeals in Ragston v. State,
424 S.W.3d 49, 52 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014), determined that courts of appeals lacked
jurisdiction to entertain interlocutory appeals from pretrial motions for bond reduction. In
reaching its decision, the Ragston court found that “[t]here is no constitutional or statutory
authority granting the courts of appeals jurisdiction to hear interlocutory appeals regarding
excessive bail or the denial of bail.” Id. at 52.
Accordingly, we grant the State’s motion and dismiss the appeal.
