NO. PD-0147-26
EX PARTE COREY WILBERT, Appellee
ON APPELLEE’S PETITION
FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
FROM THE SIXTH COURT OF APPEALS
HARRISON COUNTY
Per curiam.
OPINION
Appellee was arrested for murder and the trial court set bond at $250,000.
Appellee filed an application for writ of habeas corpus seeking a bond reduction.
The trial court reduced the bond to $70,000. The State appealed the trial court's
order. See Code Crim. Proc. Article 44.01(a)(7)(A)(i). The court of appeals
vacated the trial court's order and ordered the bond reinstated at $250,000. Ex
parte Wilbert, No. 06-25-00194-CR (Tex. App. - Texarkana, delivered January 6,
2026).
We granted Appellee's petition for discretionary review to address the court
of appeals' decision. Appellee has now been convicted of the underlying offense
and is no longer subject to the pre-trial bond. Accordingly, the petition for
discretionary review is dismissed as moot.
