First District of Texas

EX PARTE TERRAN DORAL GREEN, Appellant

On Appeal from the 180th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 1914201

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Terran Doral Green is attempting to appeal from the trial court’s

February 24, 2026 denial of his pro se application for writ of habeas corpus

challenging his pretrial confinement for the offense of aggravated assault of a public

servant. We dismiss the appeal as moot.

Although represented by counsel in the trial court, appellant filed a pro se

application for writ of habeas corpus on September 24, 2025, alleging a limitations
issue. The trial court did not hold a hearing but denied it by a handwritten ruling on

the last page of the application and dated February 24, 2026. On February 24, 2026,

appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal from the trial court’s denial of his

application.

The denial of an application for writ of habeas corpus is appealable. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 31. But because appellant has been convicted of the underlying offense1

and is no longer subject to pretrial confinement, his appeal is moot. See Martinez v.

State, 826 S.W.2d 620, 620 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992); Ex parte Graves, No. 14-19-

00517-CR, 2019 WL 3822177, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Aug. 15,

2019, no pet.) (mem. op.).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot. Any pending motions are

dismissed as moot.
