of Hidalgo County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Vela
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Jose Olivo, filed a notice of appeal seeking to challenge an order
denying a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. On May 17, 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.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.

Delivered and filed the
12th day of July, 2012.
