Description
Angel Avila, Appellant, was arrested and jailed on September 27, 2005 for allegedly shooting three men. The next day, a magistrate set bail on each shooting at $300,000. On January 5, 2006--more than 90 days after his arrest--Avila, who remained in jail, was indicted on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Several months later, Avila filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus and requested release under a personal recognizance bond or, alternatively, a bail reduction to $10,000. At the hearing on Avilas application, Avilas attorney, citing article 17.151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, argued for only a personal recognizance bond because his indigence prevented him from posting a bond in any amount. The trial court reduced bail to $10,000 on each count.
