EX PARTE DEVIN PAUL COLE


Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

On Appeal from the 184th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1693755

Panel consists of Justices Goodman, Landau, and Countiss.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Devin Paul Cole, appeals an order denying his pretrial application for a writ of habeas corpus seeking release on personal bond. The underlying case was subsequently resolved by plea bargain agreement and appellant was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for the offense of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Issues concerning pretrial release are moot after a defendant is convicted. See Martinez v. State, 826 S.W.2d 620, 620 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992) (holding that appeal challenging denial of pretrial application for writ of habeas corpus becomes moot when appellant is convicted of underlying offense and no longer subject to pretrial confinement); see also Henriksen v. State, 500 S.W.2d 491, 494 (Tex. Crim.App.1973); Myres v. State, 866 S.W.2d 673 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1993, pet. ref'd). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot.
