in Re Johnathan Johnson
Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-13-00826-CV
In re Johnathan Johnson
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM HAYS COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Johnathan Johnson filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus presenting complaints
of excessive bond and bond increase. Johnson’s petition does not challenge any trial court order.
This Court lacks jurisdiction to conduct an original habeas corpus proceeding to
reduce a bail bond. See Tex. Const. art. V, §§ 5, 6; Ex parte Enriquez, 2.S.W.3d 362, 363 n.1
(Tex. App.—Waco 1999, orig. proceeding).
Accordingly, we dismiss Johnson’s petition for want of jurisdiction.
Jeff Rose, Justice
Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Pemberton and Rose
