Carrie Kathleen Burleson v. State ( 2020 )

In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana No. 06-19-00258-CR CARRIE KATHLEEN BURLESON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 188th District Court Gregg County, Texas Trial Court No. 47800-A Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ. ORDER Carrie Kathleen Burleson was convicted in Gregg County of possession of a controlled substance in an amount less than one gram and was sentenced to two years’ confinement. In an opinion issued April 17, 2020, we reversed the judgment of conviction and remanded the case to the trial court for further proceedings. On April 17, 2020, Burleson filed a motion pursuant to Article 44.04(h) of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure asking this Court to set bail pending final determination of her appeal. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 44.04(h). Because Burleson’s motion was filed prior to the filing of a petition for discretionary review, this Court has jurisdiction to set the amount of bail. It appears to this Court that the motion should be granted. Considering the nature of the crime, the sentence imposed, the parties’ agreement to a $10,000.00 bond, and other relevant factors, we set bail at $10,000.00. As required by Article 44.04(h), if a surety bond is posted, the sureties on the bond must be approved by the trial court. IT IS SO ORDERED. BY THE COURT Date: April 27, 2020 2
