On May 19, 2011, we notified Hutchinson's appointed attorney of our concern that we lacked jurisdiction over this appeal because bail has now been set, and we informed him that this appeal was subject to dismissal unless he or any party desiring to continue this appeal filed a response with this court by May 31, 2011, showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex.R.App. P. 44.3. On April 27, 2011, Hutchinson's appointed attorney filed “Appellant's Response Regarding Jurisdiction for Pro Se Appeal,” explaining that Hutchinson's appeal of the no bail bond amount is moot because the trial court has set bail. See Criner v. State, 878 S.W.2d 162, 163–64 (Tex.Crim.App.1994). Hutchinson also filed a pro se response, but it did not show grounds for continuing the appeal.
