                                                          III.

         Bond has been set in the amount of$          /Dr aJj            . Petitioner has not been
    authorized to be released on personal           bo~d lnd has been unable to post a surety bond in the    ·

(~

                                                   IV.

       More than ninety (90) days have elapsed since the commencement of this criminal
     action against Petitioner and pursuant to Section 17.151 of the Texas Code of Criminal
     Procedure, Petitioner should be released from incarceration. Section 17.151 states in part,
     "A defendant who is detained in jail pending trial of an accusation against him must be
     released either on personal bond or by reducing the amount of bail required, if the state is
     not ready for trial of the criminal action for which he is being detained within:

        (1)     90 days from the commencement of his detention if he is accused of a felony."
              Therefore, no statutory grounds exist to prevent the release of Petitioner because of
              delay of trial.

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendant prays a Writ of Habeas Corpus
     issue and have Petitioner brought before this Court instanter, to the end that he be released
     from confinement upon posting a personal bond, or that the amount of bond heretofore set
     be reduced to $       S
                           60 , which is an amount Petitioner can make.
                                                              Respectfully submitted,
