IN RE ANGEL SOLIZ, SR., Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM  OPINION (1)

	Relator, Angel Soliz, Sr., has filed a petition for writ of mandamus,
complaining that the trial court denied his third pre-trial motion to reduce bond in
trial court cause number 1148672.  Relator requests that this Court order the trial
court judge (2)
 to conduct a hearing on his third motion for pretrial bond, grant a bond
in an amount that relator can make or in the alternative grant relator a personal
recognizance bond.
	After the petition was filed relator entered a guilty plea and was convicted in
cause number 1148672.  Because relator has been convicted of the underlying
offense, he is no longer subject to pre-trial confinement. (3)
   The pretrial writ is
therefore 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.).
	The petition for writ of mandamus is denied as moot.  See In re Markowitz,
998 S.W.2d 417 (Tex. App.--Waco 1999, orig. proceeding).
