                    EX PARTE SKY LANE BLACKWELL

                            Dallas County, Texas
                   Trial Court Cause No. WX21-90224-V

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                   Before Justices Schenck, Reichek, and Carlyle
                            Opinion by Justice Schenck
      Sky Lane Blackwell is charged in trial court cause number F21-40104-V with

the offense of stalking. The trial court set pre-trial bond at $25,000. On January 25,

2021, appellant filed a pre-trial application for writ of habeas corpus seeking a bond

reduction. After a hearing on February 3, 2021, the trial court denied appellant’s

request to lower his bond amount and certified he had the right to appeal. On

February 17, 2021, appellant filed a notice of appeal. The record and briefs have

been filed.

      On July 28 and 29, 2021, supplemental clerk’s records were filed containing

the trial court’s updated docket sheet and a copy of an agreed personal bail bond

showing appellant posted bond and was released. Because appellant has posted bond
and been released on bond, this appeal is now moot. Ex parte Guerrero, 99 S.W.3d

852, 853 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2003, no pet.) (per curiam) (appeal from

denial of pretrial writ of habeas corpus seeking bond reduction rendered moot when

trial court reduced bond and applicant posted reduced bond and was released).

      We dismiss this appeal as moot.
