MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Vela
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Dimas Rios de Leon, filed a notice of appeal seeking to challenge an
order denying a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. On May 16, 2012, the Clerk of
this Court notified appellant that it appeared that the order from which the appeal was
taken was not an appealable order, and requested correction of this defect within ten
days or the appeal would be dismissed. Appellant has failed to respond to the Court=s
directive.
Jurisdiction to grant post-conviction habeas corpus relief in felony cases rests
exclusively with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN.
art. 11.07, § 5 (Vernon Supp. 2011); Bd. of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of
Appeals for the Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); In re McAfee,
53 S.W .3d 715, 717–18 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig.
proceeding). Therefore, we are without jurisdiction to grant the requested relief.
The appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
