MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Appellant, Angela Brown, was charged with the first-degree felony offense of theft of more than $200,000. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 31.03(e)(7) (Vernon Supp. 2008). Bail was set at $900,000. Appellant filed a pretrial motion to reduce bond, which the trial court denied. In this appeal, appellant challenges the trial court’s denial of her motion to reduce bond.

          The State has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal on the basis that appellant has been convicted of the charged offense and sentenced to 13 years in prison. We agree with the State that appellant’s conviction renders her appeal moot. See Henriksen v. State, 500 S.W.2d 491, 494 (Tex. Crim. App. 1973); Smith v. State, 848 S.W.2d 891, 893 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1993, pet. ref’d).

          We grant the State’s motion to dismiss and dismiss the appeal as moot.
