If you lose your appeal in Texas, you may consider filing a Motion for Rehearing, which allows you to ask the appellate court to reconsider its decision. There are two ways to request a rehearing: by the same three-judge panel or by the entire court, known as a Motion for Rehearing En Banc.
Judge's Discretion: A judge decides the bail amount and whether a defendant qualifies for bail. Even for crimes with set bail amounts, a judge can adjust the bail based on the defendant's circumstances. Criminal History: A history of prior convictions or failure to appear at court dates can lead a judge to deny bail.
An appeal is not a new trial. You cannot present evidence, call witnesses, or conduct discovery in an appeal. The court of appeals decides an appeal strictly on the basis of the trial court record, briefs, and, at the Court's discretion, oral argument by the parties.
