On Appeal from the 228th District Court, Harris County, Texas, Trial Court Cause Nos. 1174254 1174255.

Panel consists of Chief Justice HEDGES and Justices ANDERSON and SEYMORE.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


These are appeals from the denial of appellant's pre-trial applications for writ of habeas corpus seeking bond reduction. This Court has been advised that appellant has pleaded guilty in each case and has been sentenced to confinement in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for forty years, with the sentences to be served concurrently. Appellant's pleas render the issue of pretrial bond moot. See Ex parte Morgan, 335 S.W.2d 766, 766 (Tex.Crim.App. 1960); Ex parte Bennet, 818 S.W.2d 199, 200 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1991, no pet.) (stating that "where the premise of a habeas corpus application is destroyed by subsequent developments, the legal issues raised thereunder are rendered moot."). Accordingly, we dismiss these appeals as moot.
