In The

Court of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-24-00641-CR ——————————— EX PARTE DREYVON ANDERSON-SANDERS, Appellant

On Appeal from the 179th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1878077

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Dreyvon Anderson-Sanders appeals from the denial of his pretrial

application for writ of habeas corpus challenging the trial court’s order to revoke

his bail. See TEX. CONST. art. I, § 11b.

The appellate record reflects that the trial court dismissed Anderson-

Sanders’s underlying indictment for insufficient evidence. Because Anderson- Sanders is no longer confined on a charge that he challenged in his pretrial writ of

habeas corpus, his appeal of the denial of that writ is thus moot. See Bennet v.

State, 818 S.W.2d 199, 200 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1991, no pet.) (“The

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 rendered moot.”) (internal quotations omitted); Ex

parte Cajas, No. 14-23-00613-CR, 2023 WL 8043747, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston

[14th Dist.] Nov. 21, 2023, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication)

(holding habeas appeal moot when underlying charge had been dismissed). On

May 1, 2025, we notified Anderson-Sanders that it appeared that his appeal was

moot and requested a response. No response was received.

We therefore dismiss this appeal as moot. We also dismiss any pending

motions as moot.
