2019See Paxton, 493 S.W.3d at 303 (declining to hold that pre-trial habeas relief was available under Perry because the defendant’s charges did “not arise out of his duties as an elected official but rather from his conduct as a private citizen”); Walsh, 530 S.W.3d at 781 (declining to extend the holding in Perry to appellant’s as-applied challenge because, inter alia, appellant was not a government official).

2019The court of criminal appeals disagreed, holding that “pre-trial habeas is an available vehicle for a government official to advance an as-applied separation of powers claim that alleges the infringement of his own power as a government official.” Id. at 898 ; see Ex parte Walsh, 530 S.W.3d 774, 781 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2017, no pet.) (emphasis added). 5 We find the facts here to be inapposite to the holding in Perry.
