IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-12-00319-CR
FREDDIE LEE WALLACE,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 272nd District Court
Brazos County, Texas
Trial Court No. 05-03424-CRF-272-E
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Freddie Lee Wallace filed an article 11.07 petition for writ of habeas corpus. TEX.
CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2012). The Court of Criminal Appeals
dismissed it. In this proceeding, he now attempts to appeal the dismissal of his
application for writ of habeas corpus by the Court of Criminal Appeals. By letter dated
September 13, 2012, the Clerk of this Court notified Wallace that his appeal was subject
to dismissal because it appeared this Court had no jurisdiction to review an appeal of
the Court of Criminal Appeal’s dismissal of an application for writ of habeas corpus.
Wallace was further warned that the Court would dismiss this appeal unless, within 21
days of the date of the letter, a response was filed showing grounds for continuing the
appeal. Wallace filed a response but it does not show grounds for continuing the
appeal.
We only have jurisdiction of a criminal proceeding when expressly provided by
law. Abbott v. State, 271 S.W.3d 694, 696-697 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008). Wallace has not
directed our attention to any statue or constitutional provision that gives us jurisdiction
of the proceeding, and we are aware of none.
This appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 44.3.
