PER CURIAM
Sitting: Phil Hardberger, Chief Justice
Tom Rickhoff, Justice
Alma L. López, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 14, 1999
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
In each of these appeals, appellant seeks to appeal the denial of an application for writ of habeas corpus filed in the trial court. Appellate courts do not have jurisdiction to review a denial of an application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Hargett, 819 S.W.2d 866, 868 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); Ex parte Jordan, 659 S.W.2d 827 (Tex. Crim. App. 1983) They can only review a ruling on the merits of the claim. Hargett, 819 S.W.2d at 868.
Because the records for these appeals did not contain an order of the trial court or otherwise reflect that the trial court held a hearing on the merits of the application, we ordered appellant to show cause why these appeals should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. In response to our order, appellant filed a pro se motion requesting an extension of time to file his response to enable him to review the appellate records. We have reviewed the records for each of these appeals. No order is contained in the records that will assist appellant in responding to our show cause order. Appellant's motions for extension of time are DENIED. These appeals are dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
