                                   On
Appeal from the 441st District Court

                                                   Trial
Court Cause No. CR36894

Johnene Morris appeals from the denial of a pretrial application for writ of
habeas corpus.  Morris filed an application for writ of habeas corpus seeking
dismissal of the reindictment in this cause charging her with a theft offense. 
The trial court denied Morris’s application, and she timely filed a notice of
appeal.  We dismiss.[1]

Subsequent
to the filing of this appeal, Morris was tried and convicted in this cause. Because
she has already been convicted of the underlying offense and is no longer
subject to pretrial confinement, Morris’s appeal of the denial of her pretrial
application is moot.  Martinez v. State, 826 S.W.2d 620 (Tex. Crim. App.
1992).  Morris’s remedy now lies by way of appeal of her conviction.  
            This
appeal is dismissed as moot.

of habeas corpus stemming from a separate indictment for theft in Trial Court Cause
No. CR37161.
