M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Oscar Costilla Martinez filed motions to reduce his pretrial bail in these prosecutions
for manufacture and delivery of controlled substances.  Following a hearing, the motions were
granted and bail was reduced from $350,000 to $300,000 in each cause.  Martinez then filed notices
of appeal to this Court.
These are not habeas corpus proceedings.  This Court does not have jurisdiction to
entertain interlocutory appeals from orders on pretrial bail motions.  Vargas v. State, 109 S.W.3d 26,
29 (Tex. App.--Amarillo 2003, no pet.); Benford v. State, 994 S.W.2d 404, 409 (Tex. App.--Waco
1999, no pet.); Ex parte Shumake, 953 S.W.2d 842, 846-47 (Tex. App.--Austin 1997, no pet.).

The appeals are dismissed.
