CRAIG FRANCIS, JR., Appellant


V.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee





On Appeal from the 232nd District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 990518





MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Craig Francis, Jr. appeals from the denial of his pretrial application for habeas corpus relief, seeking reinstatement of bail. Appellant was charged with theft from $1,500 to $20,000, and alleged in his writ application that holding him without bond violated his federal and state constitutional rights to have a reasonable bail set.

               Appellant’s brief is past due. The underlying offense was dismissed on August 6, 2004, and the pretrial writ 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.).

               The appeal is dismissed as moot.
