Ex Parte Daniel Lee Ainsworth, 07-15-00107-CR

Applicant Daniel Lee Ainsworth filed writs challenging illegal detention under Tex. Gov't Code §§508.282, 508.2811 and related due process grounds.
Three trial causes (141,066-1; 141,094-1; 141,118-1) were tried together; writ hearing occurred Feb. 3, 2015; relief denied at that time.
Felony case underlying 141,066-1 was dismissed; blue warrant detention continued beyond dismissal, allegedly denying bail and due process.
Arraignments occurred on each case with bonds set; writs allege improper arraignment and non-prosecution affidavit issues in 141-066.
Unified bench trial February–April 2015 convicted on all three counts; sentences included one year and $4,000 fines per case.
Trial court held no explicit jurisdictional error ruling on release, stating it did not “practice law,” while petition asserted illegal detention and improper release.
