IN RE: BRANDON BRADLEY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Brandon Bradley filed an amended application for writ of habeas corpus, in which he alleges that his confinement is illegal because the Sheriff of Jefferson County, Texas (“the Sheriff”) has not permitted him to receive the time and work credit to which he is entitled. Bradley also asserts that the trial court's order is void. On January 12, 2017, we ordered the trial court to hold a hearing to determine the true facts regarding Bradley's allegations.
After conducting the hearing, the trial court signed an order of release, in which it found that Bradley “has completed all time served” and ordered Bradley immediately discharged from the Jefferson County jail. We notified the parties that the appeal appeared to be moot, and that we would dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction unless our jurisdiction was established. We received no response. We conclude that Bradley's petition is moot. See generally Ex parte McKenzie, 909 S.W.2d 502, 503 (Tex. 1995). Accordingly, we dismiss Bradley's petition for writ of habeas corpus as moot.
PETITION DISMISSED AS MOOT.
