EX PARTE TREVOR MCEUEN
On Appeal from the 422nd Judicial District Court
Kaufman County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 114663-422
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Reichek, and Justice Kennedy
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
Trevor McEuen is charged in the trial court with murder and aggravated
assault. The trial court set appellant’s bond at $2 million for the murder charge and
$1 million for each of the two aggravated assault counts. On August 24, 2023, the
trial court heard appellant’s application for writ of habeas corpus and reduced the
bond to $500,000 for the murder charge and $250,000 for each of the aggravated
assault charges. Appellant filed an application for writ of habeas corpus in the trial
court asserting the bond was excessive. On July 8, 2024, the trial court declined to
reduce appellant’s bond further, and appellant filed this appeal.
On October 15, 2024, appellant’s counsel filed a motion to dismiss the appeals
stating the appeal was moot because appellant had posted bond and had been
released.
Because appellant posted bond and was released on bond, this appeal is moot.
