TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-06-00309-CR

                                   Ex parte Robert Fischman

       FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 147TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
        NO. D-1-DC-05-700109, HONORABLE WILFORD FLOWERS, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Robert Fischman filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus challenging the

validity of the indictment pending against him in this cause.1 Although the writ did not issue,

Fishman later filed a notice of appeal and the clerk’s record was forwarded to this Court. The Clerk

has now received and filed a supplemental record containing the district court’s order dismissing

cause number D-1-DC-05-700109 as part of a plea bargain in other causes.

               No appeal lies from the refusal to issue a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Gonzales,

12 S.W.3d 913, 914 (Tex. App.—Austin 2000, pet. ref’d). In any event, the dismissal order renders

the habeas corpus petition moot.

   1
       The record contains Fischman’s written waiver of counsel.
              The appeal is dismissed.

                                           __________________________________________
