                    NOTE TO THE APPENDIX OF THIS BRIEF

      The Court is requested to take judicial notice of the items in the Appendix.

The Appendix to this brief contains certified copies of the charging instruments

in the original trial court cases as well as printed copies of the docket sheets

detailing the settings and activities in each case. These materials were obtained

from the Harris County District Clerk's Office.

      In addition, a copy of the District Courts Bail Schedule for 2014 is included.

(http://www.justex.net/BailBondSchedule.aspx)

      A letter requesting a supplement to the record that contains these items

will be sent to the trial court clerk.

                          STATEMENT OF THE CASE

     This is an appeal from the Trial Court's denial of two Applications for a Writ

of Habeas Corpus Seeking Reduced Bail filed in each of the Defendant's

pending cases in the 337th District Court.

     The relief sought by the Defendant was denied by the Court after a

hearing on July 9th, 2015. (CR 22) Notice of Appeal was filed on July 10, 2015.

(CR 19, 22)

     Because writ applications were filed in each of the Defendant's cases

pending in the 337th District Court, the Court assigned a separate writ number to

each case. Cause No. 1438931 was assigned Writ No. 1473497, and is before

the 14th Court of Appeals as Case No. 14-15-00619-CR. (CR 1) Cause No.

1455876 was assigned Writ No. 1473498, and is before the 14th Court of

Appeals as Case No. 14-15-00620-CR. (CR 1)

                     APPELLANT'S POINTS OF ERROR

     1. Appellant's bail is excessive and is in violation of Articles 1.07, 1.09,

and 17.15 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.

     2. Appellant's bail is excessive and is in violation Article I, Section 11 and

Section 13 of the Texas Constitution.

     3. Appellant's bail is excessive and is in violation of the Eighth and

Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution

                                         7
                              STATEMENT OF FACTS

      On August 23, 2014 Appellant Larry Flores was charged by information

with the offense of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, a third degree felony 1, in

Cause No. 1438931, in the 337th District Court of Harris County Texas. (RR 3;

Appendix: Activities, Cause No. 1438931, pg 1) He appeared in the Trial Court

on August 25, 2014, and was ordered to be held without bond. (Id.)

      On September 24, 2014, the Court set a bond in the amount of

$100,000.00. (Activities 1438931, pg 2) (RR 3) Flores was released on bond on

September 26. (Activities 143831, pg 1). An indictment in this case was

returned on October 13, 2014. (Appendix, Indictment 1438931)

      On January 16, 2015, Flores apparently did not answer the docket call but

is shown as present on the Settings record for this case. (Appendix, Settings

1438931, pg1). The Court revoked his bond that day and then reinstated it on

January 20th. (RR 4)

      On January 27, 2015, Appellant Flores was charged by information with

the offense of Possession of a Controlled Substance (Penalty Group 1; 1 to 4

grams) in Cause No. 1455876, also in the 337 th District Court (Appendix,

Activities, 1455876, pg.1).

      On January 29, 2015, Flores appeared in the 337 th District Court. His

1 Texas Penal Code § 46.04; West 2014.

                                         8
bond was revoked in Cause No. 1438931. The Court entered an order to hold

him without bail. (RR 4-5). Subsequently, an Indictment was returned in Cause

No. 1455876 on March 9, 2015, charging the offense of Possession of a

Controlled Substance in Penalty Group 1 in an amount less than one gram, a

State Jail Felony. (Appendix, Indictment 1455876). There are no enhancement

paragraphs in this indictment, contrary to the Court's assertion during the Writ

Hearing that Appellant Flores had been indicted in 1445876 as an habitual felon.

(RR 4)

     On April 8, 2015 Appellant Flores had been in custody without bond for 72

days. The Court set bonds in each case at that time. The bond in Cause no.

1438931 was doubled and set at $200,000.00. The bond in Cause No. 1455876

was set at $100,000.00, for an aggregate total of $300,000.00.

     On July 9, 2015 a hearing was held in the 337 th District Court on

Appellant's Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Seeking Reduced Bail in

each pending case. (Writ No. 1474397 for Cause No. 1438931, and Writ No.

1474398 for Cause No. 1455876. (RR 3; CR 1, 22)

     At the writ hearing, Appellant's sister Angela Castillo was called as a

witness by the defense. Ms. Castillo stated that Appellant Flores was born in

Houston, Texas; that there were three other brothers and a sister in the family,

and that their parents were deceased. She lives in the Houston area at 2911

                                         9
Cochran (according to the case records this is Appellant's address of record as

well), and that if Appellant were released he would be staying there with her.

Ms. Castillo stated that Appellant did not have a passport. (RR 6-8)

      With regard to the question of posting a $300,000.00 bond for Appellant,

Ms. Castillo stated that neither Appellant or the family have the financial

resources or collateral to post a bond in that amount. She also stated that

Appellant had previously been employed in the construction industry before he

was taken in custody. (RR 8-9)

      The State did not call any witnesses at the hearing. The facts of the

Appellant's pending cases were not developed. Although during argument the

State alleged that Appellant had a number to prior weapons related offenses, no

evidence or testimony was offered regarding Appellant's criminal history.

      After hearing testimony and argument, the Court entered orders denying

relief on each Writ. (RR 19; CR 18) This appeal followed.

                                        10
                          SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT

        Trial court abused its discretion in refusing lower Appellants bonds and set

reasonable bail in each of his cases. A person accused of a crime has a

constitutional right to reasonable bail. The right to be free from excessive bail is

protected by the United States and Texas Constitutions.

        The bonds set by the court in these cases in the sum of $300,000.00 are

clearly excessive and the result is that Appellant has been effectively denied

bail.

        Bail is excessive if it is incommensurate with the offense(s) charged; not

consistent with precedent, and clearly beyond the financial means of the

defendant.

                                          11
                                    ARGUMENT

      Trial court abused its discretion in refusing lower Appellants bonds and set

reasonable bail in each of his cases. The bonds set by the court in these cases

in the sum of $300,000.00 are clearly excessive and the result is that Appellant

has been effectively denied bail. This does not fall within the zone of reasonable

disagreement. Montalvo v. State 315 S.W.3d 588, 592 (Tex. App. - Houston [1st

Dist] 2010, no pet.)

      A person accused of a crime has a constitutional right to reasonable bail.

The right to be free from excessive bail is protected by the United States and

Texas Constitutions. See U.S. Const. amend. VIII; Tex. Const. art. I, § 11, 13;

Ex parte Melartin, 2015 WL 1544805, (Tex App- Houston [14th Dist.] 2015).

      The standard of review for a claim that a trial court set excessive bail is to

evaluate whether or not the trial court abused its discretion in setting a

defendant's bail. Golden v. State, 288 S.W.3d 516, 519 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st

Dist.] 2009, pet. ref'd) Ex parte Ruiz, 129 S.W.3d 751, 753 (Tex.App.-Houston

[1st Dist.] 2004, no pet.) Ex parte Rubac, 611 S.W.2d 848, 850 (Tex.Crim.App.

1981);

      An abuse-of-discretion review requires more of the appellate court than

simply deciding that the trial court did not rule arbitrarily or capriciously. The

                                          12
appellate court must instead measure the trial court's ruling against the relevant

criteria by which the ruling was made. Montalvo v. State 315 S.W.3d 588, 592-

93 (Tex. App. - Houston [1st Dist] 2010, no pet.);

      When setting bail, a court is governed by the Constitution and by the

following rules:

     1. The bail shall be sufficiently high to give reasonable assurance that the
undertaking will be complied with.

      2. The power to require bail is not to be so used as to make it an
instrument of oppression.

    3. The nature of the offense and the circumstances under which it was
committed are to be considered.

      4. The ability to make bail is to be regarded, and proof may be taken upon
this point.

      5. The future safety of a victim of the alleged offense and the community
shall be considered.

Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Art. 17.15 (West, 2014).

      In addition to these rules, case law provides that courts may consider the

following set of factors: (1) the defendant's work record; (2) the defendant's

family and community ties; (3) the defendant's length of residency; (4) the

defendant's prior criminal record; (5) the defendant's conformity with previous

bond conditions; (6) the existence of other outstanding bonds, if any; (7) the

aggravating circumstances alleged to have been involved in the charged

offense; and (8) whether the defendant is a citizen of the United States. See Ex

                                         13
parte Rodriguez, 595 S.W.2d 549, 550 n.2 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1980);

Ex parte Castellanos, 420 S.W.3d 878, 882 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.]

2014, no pet.); Ex parte Melartin, 2015 WL 1544805, (Tex App- Houston [14th

Dist.] 2015).

      Rather than giving reasonable assurance that the undertaking will be

complied with, the bonds set by the court in this case are sufficiently high as to

provide more than reasonable assurance that the Appellant will be unable to

make bail. The trial court effectively used bail as an instrument of oppression,

irrespective of whatever subjective intentions the court may have had.

      Bail is excessive if it is incommensurate with the offense(s) charged; not

consistent with precedent, and clearly beyond the financial means of the

defendant. Bail is excessive if it effectively results in the denial of bail by the trial

court. Therefore excessive bail that effectively results in a denial of bail equates

to bail being set in an oppressive amount. The conclusion to be drawn given the

foregoing, is that if bail is excessive, then it has been used as an instrument of

oppression by the trial court. Ex parte Charlesworth, 600 S.W.2d 316, 317

(Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1980); Ex parte Mathews, 151 Tex. Crim. 60, 204
S.W.2d 992 (1947)

      The bonds set by the Court are incommensurate with the offenses

charged and inconsistent with the bond schedule of the District Courts.

                                           14
(http://www.justex.net/BailBondSchedule.aspx ) Although there are

enhancements that may be proven at trial of the offense, Appellant's firearm

charge remains a third degree felony. The controlled substance charge is a

state jail felony. Each arise from separate transactions. There are no

aggravating factors in either case Furthermore, Appellant is nonetheless

presumed to be innocent of the charges. An indictment is neither proof or

evidence. Ex parte Newman, 38 Tex. Crim. 164, 41 S.W. 628 (1897).

     Very few defendants in criminal cases have the the financial resources and

collateral to post a $300,000.00 bond. The majority of cases reviewed by

appellate courts where bonds were set in amounts of six figures or even higher

are typically murder cases, charges involving large quantities of controlled

substances, or theft of an exceptionally high pecuniary value. The charges

against Appellant are scarcely so egregious. The following cases are cited as

examples:

       Ex Parte Brown, 959 S.W.2d 369 (Tex. App.-Fort Worth 1998, no pet.)
(Bail in capital murder case set at $500,000.00. Order denying relief affirmed.)

      Ex parte McDonald, 852 S.W.2d 730 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 1993. no pet.)
(Bail of $1,000,000 imposed on defendant charged with capital murder was
excessive to extent it exceeded $75,000.)

      Ludwig v. State . 812 S.W.2d 323 (Tex.Crim.App.1991).
(Defendant brought habeas corpus action to reduce $2,000,000 bail set in
capital murder prosecution. Bail reduced to $50,000.00.)

     Golden v. State, 288 S.W.3d 516 (Tex.App-Houston [1st Dist.] 2009, pet

                                        15
ref'd) (Trial court reversed after setting bail at $200,000.00 in each of
defendant's two controlled substance cases.)

      Ex parte Ruiz, 129 S.W.3d 751 (Tex. App. [Houston-1st Dist.] 2004, no
pet.) (Bail set at 1,600,000.00 for possession of a controlled substance (400
grams) reduced to $600,000.00. )

      Maldonado v. State , 999 S.W.2d 9, (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.], 1999)
(Bail of $2,500,000 in case involving large quantity of cocaine was not
excessive. )

      Ex parte Rubac, 611 S.W.2d 848 (Tex. Crim. App.1981)
(Bond of $100,000.00 reduced to $25,000.00 where the defendant was accused
of possession and intent to deliver controlled substances.)

      Ex parte Bogia, 56 S.W.3d 835 (Tex. App.-Houston 1st Dist] 2001, no pet.)
(Bail of $360,000 for second degree felony theft was excessive. )

      The record of the Writ hearing reflects that the Appellant and his family

lack the resources to make bail in the amount set by the Court. Appellant is a

citizen, and a resident of Houston and Harris County, Texas. He was previously

employed in the construction industry,, has sufficient ties to the community, does

not posses a passport and is not a flight risk. (RR 7-9)

      The State's argument consisted largely of hyperbole and speculation

unsupported by any admitted evidence. The State did not discuss any of the

facts or evidence regarding the Appellant's alleged offenses. No compelling

evidence was offered by the State that Appellant is a flight risk or that there

would be any effect on the safety of the community in the event the Appellant

was released on lower bail. (RR 17-18)

                                         16
      The traditional right to freedom before conviction permits the unhampered

preparation of a defense, and serves to prevent the infliction of punishment prior

to conviction. Unless this right to bail before trial is preserved, the presumption

of innocence, secured only after centuries of struggle, would lose its meaning.

Stack v. Boyle 342 U.S. 1, 4 (1951)

                          CONCLUSION AND PRAYER

      Appellant prays that this Honorable Court will find that Appellant's bonds

are excessive and issue an order to the trial court to reduce his bail to

$10,000.00 in Writ No. 1473497 (Cause No. 1438931 and $5000.00 in Writ No.
