                           SAMUEL C. GENTRY, Appellant

                                             v.

                                THE STATE OF TEXAS

           ON APPELLANT'S MOTION FOR BAIL PENDING APPEAL
                       UNDER ARTICLE 44.04(h), V.A.C.C.P.
                    FROM THE TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS
                                      SMITH COUNTY

                                        ORDER

       Appellant was convicted of felony driving while intoxicated after pleading guilty. He

was sentenced by a jury to life imprisonment. The Court of Appeals reversed the conviction

and remanded the case to the trial court. Gentry v. State, No. 12-13-00168-CR (Tex.

App.-Tyler August 27, 2014)(not designated for publication). The State filed a petition for

discretionary review in this Court.

       Appellant has applied to this Court under Article 44.04(h) of the Code of Criminal

Procedure, to set a reasonable bail pending final determination of the appeal. However,
                                                                       GENTRY - 2

before this Court can set bail we must have adequate information upon which to determine

a reasonable amount. Appellant fails to provide adequate information. See Montalvo v. State,

786 S.W.2d 710 (Tex. Crim. App. 1989).

       Therefore, appellant must redraft his request for bail under Article 44.04(h) in order

for this Court to set a reasonable bail.

       IT IS SO ORDERED this the 19th day of June, 201 5.

                                           PER CURIAM
