In The
Court of Appeals For The
First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-23-00112-CR ——————————— LACEDRIC BANKS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 184th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1745911
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On February 24, 2023, appellant Lacedric Banks filed a notice of appeal
stating his desire to appeal the denial of his pretrial application for a writ of habeas
corpus challenging the constitutionality of the statute being used to prosecute
appellant. On February 27, 2023, the charges in the underlying case against appellant were dismissed. Appellant subsequently filed a Suggestion of Mootness asserting
that the dismissal of the underlying charges renders his habeas claim moot and our
Court thus lacks jurisdiction over the appeal. See Ex parte Bailey, No. 14-20-00837-
CR, 2021 WL 2546163, at *1 (Tex. App.— Houston [14th Dist.] June 22, 2021, no
pet.) (mem. op, not designated for publication). We agree. Accordingly, we dismiss
the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Goodman, Landau, and Rivas-Molloy.
Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
