MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-10-00488-CR
IN RE John Gerald MASS
Original Mandamus Proceeding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 14, 2010
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On June 30, 2010, relator John Gerald Mass filed a petition for writ of mandamus, complaining of the trial court’s failure to rule on his motion for an out-of-time appeal. However, only the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction over matters related to post-conviction relief from an otherwise final felony conviction. See Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. 1991) (out-of-time appeal from final felony conviction may be sought by filing a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure).
Accordingly, relator’s petition is DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION.
