MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Fillmore, and Brown
Opinion by Justice Fillmore
Reginald Noble was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child and was sentenced
to life in prison. Appellant’s conviction was affirmed on direct appeal. Noble v. State, No. 08-
01-00035-CR, 2002 WL 221886 (Tex. App.––El Paso Feb. 4, 2002, pet. ref’d) (not designated
for publication). 1 The Court now has before it appellant’s “Motion for Leave to File Notice of
Appeal,” which we will treat as a pro se notice of appeal. In the document, appellant appears to
complain about a post-conviction habeas corpus order of the trial court rendered under article
11.07 of the code of criminal procedure.
On October 21, 2014, the trial court issued an order finding that “there are no
controverted, previously unresolved facts material to the legality of the Applicant’s confinement

under a docket equalization order of the Texas Supreme Court.
which require an evidentiary hearing” and recommending to the court of criminal appeals that
appellant’s tenth application for writ of habeas corpus be dismissed. To the extent that appellant
seeks to appeal the ruling on the post-conviction habeas corpus petition, this Court has no
jurisdiction over such proceedings. See TEX. CODE CRIM. P. ANN. arts. 11.05, 11.07 (West 2005
& Supp. 2014) (identifying courts that may grant post-conviction writs of habeas corpus and
procedure for post-conviction habeas corpus applications). To the extent appellant seeks to
challenge by direct appeal the sentence imposed in 2000, his March 9, 2015 notice of appeal is
untimely. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1) (notice of appeal due within thirty days after sentence
suspended or imposed in open court).
We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
