                           Before Justices Bridges, Lang, and Schenck
                                   Opinion by Justice Bridges
       In this accelerated appeal, appellant challenges the trial court’s order denying his motion

for a personal recognizance bond or to reduce his appeal bond to $5000. By judgment dated

June 15, 2015, this Court affirmed appellant’s underlying conviction. See Arthur v. State, No.

05-14-00439-CR, (Tex. App.—Dallas June 15, 2015, no pet. h.) (mem. op., not designated for

publication). Therefore, the issues raised in this accelerated appeal are moot. See Freeman v.

State, 828 S.W.2d 179, 181-82 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1992, pet. ref’d) (cause

becomes moot when appellate court’s judgment cannot have any practical legal effect upon

controversy).

       We dismiss this accelerated appeal as moot.
