Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. PD-0039-12 MICHAEL RAY BONDS, Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS

ON APPELLANT'S MOTION FOR BAIL PENDING APPEAL

UNDER Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Art 44.04(h)

MONTAGUE COUNTY

Per curiam.

O R D E R

Appellant was convicted of possession of a controlled substance in Cause No. 2009-0000103M-CR in the 97th District Court of Montague County. Punishment was assessed at confinement for 25 years. The Court of Appeals reversed the conviction. Bonds v. State, 355 S.W.3d 902; No. 02-11-00086-CR (Tex. App. - Ft. Worth, November 23, 2011). The State has filed a petition for discretionary review.

Appellant has applied to this Court under Article 44.04(h) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, to set a reasonable bail pending final determination of the appeal. However, before this Court can set a reasonable bail we must have adequate information upon which to determine a reasonable amount. Appellant fails to provide adequate information. See Montalvo v. State, 786 S.W.2d 710 (Tex. Crim. App. 1989).

Therefore, Appellant must redraft his request for bail under Art. 44.04(h) in order for this Court to set a reasonable bail.
