OPINION

ODOM, Judge.

This is an appeal from a denial of habeas corpus relief by County Criminal Court at Law No. 8 of Harris County.

Petitioner was convicted of 34 Class C misdemeanors before several justice of the peace courts in Harris County. When she was jailed for failure to pay her fines in those cases, she sought habeas corpus relief in the County Criminal Court at Law. Art. 11.09, V.A.C.C.P.; Art. 1970-110c.3(b), (c), V.A.C.S. That court granted relief from the jail confinements, and then entered its own order to secure payment of the justice court fines by installments:
