MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Longoria
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Frank Armenta, filed notices of appeal seeking to challenge orders
denying a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. On August 18, 2014, the Clerk of this
Court notified appellant that it appeared that the orders from which these appeals were
taken were not appealable orders, and requested correction of these defects within ten
days or the appeals 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 appeals are DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
Delivered and filed the
25th day of September, 2014.
