Court of Appeals Tenth Appellate District of Texas 10-26-00364-CR Ex parte Viki Steve Parker On appeal from the 19th District Court of McLennan County, Texas Judge Thomas C. West, presiding Trial Court Cause No. 2024-1406-C1 CHIEF JUSTICE JOHNSON delivered the opinion of the Court. MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant, Viki Steve Parker, filed a pro se appeal from the denial of a writ of habeas corpus related to the amount of pre-trial bail. Since the appeal was filed, Appellant pled guilty to a lesser-included offense and waived his right to appeal. We dismiss this appeal because it has now become moot. A case that is moot is normally not justiciable. See Pharris v. State, 165 S.W.3d 681, 687-88 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); see also Ex parte Mozon, No. 10- 21-00315-CR, 2022 WL 118317, 2022 Tex. App. LEXIS 212 (Tex. App.—Waco Jan. 12, 2022, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication). “The longstanding rule in Texas regarding habeas corpus is that where the premise of a habeas corpus application is destroyed by subsequent developments, the legal issues raised thereunder are moot.” See Mozon, 2022 Westlaw 118317 (citing Ex parte Guerrero, 99 S.W.3d 852, 853 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2003, no pet.) (per curiam). Accordingly, because Parker is no longer subject to pre-trial bail because he pled guilty and has been sentenced accordingly, we dismiss this appeal.
