EX PARTE Damion Nelson
Original Proceeding
MEMORANDUM Opinion
Damion Nelson filed a writ of habeas corpus concerning a pre-adjudication application for relief pursuant to Article 11.08 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.08 (Vernon 1977).
Nelson filed the writ with this Court because he believed we have jurisdiction to issue writs per our opinion in In re Piper, 105 S.W.3d 107, 110 (Tex. App.—Waco 2003, orig. proceeding). However, this Court is not a “district court.” This Court is an intermediate appellate court and has no authority to issue this type of pre-trial writ of habeas corpus. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.05 (Vernon 1977); see also Tex. Const. art. V, § 6.
Accordingly, the writ of habeas corpus is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
