First District of Texas

NO. 01-03-00208-CR
____________

TESSA ANN JENKINS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 183rd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 932,627

MEMORANDUM  OPINION
               Appellant, Tessa Ann Jenkins, appeals from the denial of a petition for writ
of habeas corpus in trial-court Cause No. 932,627, in which she sought a bail
reduction for the offense of murder in trial-court Cause No. 915656.  As
supplemented, however, the record establishes that appellant has entered a plea of
guilty and been convicted of the lesser-included offense of aggravated kidnapping in
Cause No. 915656.  Because appellant is no longer subject to pretrial confinement in
Cause No. 915656, the pretrial writ in Cause No. 932,627 is moot.  See Martinez v.
State, 826 S.W.2d 620, 620 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992); Hubbard v. State, 841 S.W.2d
33, 33 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1992, no pet.).
               Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot.
