Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion
filed March 8, 2022.
In The
Fourteenth Court of Appeals
NO. 14-22-00131-CR
IN RE DEANDRE DYNELL DEBOEST, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
262nd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1737576
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On February 25, 2022, relator Deandre Dynell Deboest filed a petition for
writ of habeas corpus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also
Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator requests that this Court “issue the writ
of habeas corpus and conduct a hearing thereon and that applicant be ordered
discharged from illegal custody and restrains [sic] or, alternatively, that bail be
reduced to $ 0 personal bond.”
The intermediate courts of appeal have no original habeas-corpus
jurisdiction in criminal matters. In re Ayers, 515 S.W.3d 356, 356 (Tex. App.—
Houston [14th Dist.] 2016, orig. proceeding) (citing Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. §
22.221(d)). Original jurisdiction to grant a writ of habeas corpus in a criminal case
is vested in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, the district courts, the county
courts, or a judge in those courts. Id. (citing Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art
11.05). Therefore, this court is without jurisdiction to consider relator’s petition
requesting habeas corpus relief.
Accordingly, relator’s petition is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Zimmerer and
Wilson.
