  •                                    IN THE
    TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
    No. 10-12-00230-CR
    WILLIAM CHARLES WEBB,
    Appellant
    v.
    THE STATE OF TEXAS,
    Appellee
    From the 54th District Court
    McLennan County, Texas
    Trial Court No. 2012-675-C2
    MEMORANDUM OPINION
    Appellant filed what appeared to be a pro se interlocutory notice of appeal of the
    trial court’s ruling on his motion for bond reduction. A week later he filed a similar
    notice of appeal in this case.
    The Clerk of the Court notified Appellant that this case was subject to dismissal
    for want of jurisdiction and that the Court might dismiss his appeal unless he showed
    grounds for continuing it. Appellant did not respond to the Clerk’s letter.1
    This Court lacks jurisdiction over a trial court‘s denial of a motion for bond
    reduction when the appeal is not from the trial court’s denial of a pretrial application
    for writ of habeas corpus in which the appellant sought bond reduction. See Benford v.
    State, 
    994 S.W.2d 404
    , 409 (Tex. App.—Waco 1999, no pet.); see also Sanchez v. State, 
    340 S.W.3d 848
    , 849 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2011, no pet.). Accordingly, this appeal is
    dismissed for want of jurisdiction.2

    [CR25]
    1 Appellant filed an application for writ of habeas corpus in this appeal. We dismiss it for lack of
    jurisdiction because courts of appeals do not have original habeas corpus jurisdiction in criminal law
    matters. See Ex parte Price, 
    228 S.W.3d 885
    , 886 (Tex. App.—Waco 2007, orig. proceeding); Ex parte Hearon,
    
    3 S.W.3d 650
     (Tex. App.—Waco 1999, orig. proceeding).
    2 We dismiss as moot Appellant’s pending motion for speedy trial and motion to withdraw attorney of
    record.
