*1 DISMISSED and Opinion Filed October 25, 2021
In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-21-00780-CV No. 05-21-00781-CV No. 05-21-00782-CV No. 05-21-00783-CV IN RE DRALON PATTERSON, Relator
Original Proceedings from the Criminal District Court No. 5 Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F19-25779-QL, F19-75183-PL, F19-75218-PL & F19-40572-PL MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Schenck, Nowell, and Garcia Opinion by Justice Nowell
Dralon Patterson has filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that the trial court be compelled to either grant him a personal recognizance bond or else reduce the total amount of bail in his pending cases to $10,000. As grounds for relief, relator contends his bail is excessive and the trial court has erred in twice denying his requests to reduce the amount of bail.
Although relator has filed these cases as mandamus proceedings, he actually seeks interlocutory appeal of the trial court’s bond determinations. The Court does *2 not have jurisdiction to review interlocutory appeals regarding excessive bail or the denial of bail. Ragston v. State , 424 S.W.3d 49, 52 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014).
Accordingly, we dismiss these proceedings for want of jurisdiction. /Erin A. Nowell// 210780f.p05 ERIN A. NOWELL 210781f.p05 JUSTICE
