Jimmy Darrell Craig, Jr. v. State

Opinion

IN THE

TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-15-00027-CR

JIMMY DARRELL CRAIG, JR., Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

From the 220th District Court Hamilton County, Texas

Trial Court No. CR07994

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant filed what appeared to be a pro se interlocutory notice of appeal of the trial court’s denial of his motion for bond reduction. The Clerk of the Court notified Appellant that this case was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction and that the Court might dismiss his appeal unless he showed grounds for continuing it. Appellant did not respond to the Clerk’s letter.

This Court lacks jurisdiction over a trial court‘s denial of a motion for bond reduction when the appeal is not from the trial court’s denial of a pretrial application for writ of habeas corpus in which the appellant sought bond reduction. See Benford v. State, 994 S.W.2d 404, 409 (Tex. App.—Waco 1999, no pet.); see also Sanchez v. State, 340 S.W.3d 848, 849 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2011, no pet.). Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
