TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
NO. 12,797-B, HONORABLE CURT F. STEIB, JUDGE PRESIDING
James Logan Diez, an inmate in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Institutional Division, filed a motion in the district court seeking an order directing the department to credit his sentence for additional time served and to correct his release date. On February 23, 2001, the court signed an order denying Diez's request. The order states that the documents attached to appellant's motion reflect that he has received all the credits to which he is entitled. Diez filed a written notice of appeal from the district court's order on March 7.
The district court's order is not an appealable one. The proper procedure for asserting a denial of time credit is a post-conviction habeas corpus application. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2001); see also Ex parte Whiteside, 12 S.W.3d 819 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000); Ex parte Evans, 964 S.W.2d 643 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998).
The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
