The State of TexasAppellee/s Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas August 4, 2014 No. 04-14-00158-CR Alejandro RODRIGUEZ, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2013CR5834 Honorable Melisa Skinner, Judge Presiding ORDER On July 31, 2014, Appellant has filed a pro se correspondence with this court requesting assistance with an appeal. Appellant states he was sentenced on January 16, 2014. We therefore consider Appellant’s correspondence as a motion is seeking assistance in filing a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. This court has “no jurisdiction over post-conviction writs of habeas corpus in felony cases.” In re Coronado, 980 S.W.2d 691, 692 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1998, orig. proceeding); accord TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2010). Post- conviction writs of habeas corpus are to be filed in the trial court in which the conviction was obtained and made returnable to the Court of Criminal Appeals. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07(b) (West Supp. 2010). Appellant’s motion is DENIED without prejudice to seeking relief in the proper court. It is so ORDERED on the 4th day of August, 2014.
