Court of Appeals

For The

First District of Texas

____________


NO. 01-03-00208-CR

____________


TESSA ANN JENKINS, Appellant


V.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee





On Appeal from the 183rd District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 932,627





MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant, Tessa Ann Jenkins, appeals from the denial of a petition for writ of habeas corpus in trial-court Cause No. 932,627, in which she sought a bail reduction for the offense of murder in trial-court Cause No. 915656. As supplemented, however, the record establishes that appellant has entered a plea of guilty and been convicted of the lesser-included offense of aggravated kidnapping in Cause No. 915656. Because appellant is no longer subject to pretrial confinement in Cause No. 915656, the pretrial writ in Cause No. 932,627 is moot. See Martinez v. State, 826 S.W.2d 620, 620 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992); Hubbard v. State, 841 S.W.2d 33, 33 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1992, no pet.).

               Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot.
