IN RE MATTHEW DILLON WHITMIRE




Original Proceeding


MEMORANDUM OPINION

Matthew Dillon Whitmire filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 52. The relator's petition collaterally attacks his conviction and related post-conviction matters in Cause No. 24638. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure article 11.07 provides the exclusive means to challenge a final felony conviction, and jurisdiction to grant post conviction habeas corpus relief on a final felony conviction rests exclusively with the Court of Criminal Appeals. Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483-84 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07, § 3 (Vernon 2005). The petition is denied.

WRIT DENIED.
