EX PARTE CHARLIE J. GILL, Appellant EX PARTE TOMMY JOHN GILL, Appellant Nos. PD , PD Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas November 20, 2013 “Rowe v. State was the seminal case in which this Court interpreted the meaning of article [13] In Rowe, we held that where it was undisputed that the State was not ready for trial ninety days after an accused's arrest, a judge had only two options under article : either release the accused upon personal bond or reduce the bail amount. [14] "If the court chooses to reduce the amount of bail required, it must reduce bail required to an amount that the record reflects an accused can make in order to effectuate release." [15]” [13][14][15] Rowe v. State, 853 S.W.2d 581 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993).

EX PARTE D’ANATE LEE SHAW NO CR COURT OF APPEALS OF TEXAS, SECOND DISTRICT, FORT WORTH 2012 SHAW WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY ON THREE FELONY COUNTS. HE WAS INDICTED ON ONE COUNT WITHIN 90 DAYS. JANUARY, 2013 HE FILED FOR HABEAS CORPUS RELIEF AFTER HAVING HIS MOTION FOR RELEASE ON THE UNINDICTED CHARGES REFUSED. REFUSAL WAS BASED ON CCP Sec 2 (2): being detained pending trial of another accusation against the defendant as to which the applicable period has not yet elapsed; SECOND DISTRICT OVERTURNED THE TRIAL COURT (ACCUSED’S REQUEST FOR RELIEF WAS NOT IN HIS BEST INTEREST)

CHAPTER 32. DISMISSING PROSECUTIONS Art DEFENDANT IN CUSTODY AND NO INDICTMENT PRESENTED. When a defendant has been detained in custody or held to bail for his appearance to answer any criminal accusation, the prosecution, unless otherwise ordered by the court, for good cause shown, supported by affidavit, shall be dismissed and the bail discharged, if indictment or information be not presented against such defendant on or before the last day of the next term of the court which is held after his commitment or admission to bail or on or before the 180th day after the date of commitment or admission to bail, whichever date is later.
