On Appeal from the 177th District Court, Harris County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. 1066934.

Panel consists of Justices YATES, ANDERSON, and HUDSON.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant was charged with the offense of violation of a protective order. The trial court set pre-trial bond at $5,000. Appellant was subsequently found to have violated the conditions of bond. Bail was revoked and appellant was remanded into custody. Appellant then filed a pre-trial application for writ of habeas corpus seeking either to be discharged from custody or that bond be set at $5,000. After a hearing, the trial court denied the application. This Court has learned that appellant pled guilty and was sentenced on August 7, 2006, to 100 days in the Harris County Jail. Appellant's plea renders 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 appellant`s appeal as moot.
