Ex Parte D.J. Laningham ( 2009 )

IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-09-00130-CR
EX PARTE D.J. LANINGHAM
Original Proceeding
MEMORANDUM OPINION
D.J. Laningham has filed an application for writ of habeas corpus with us under
Article 11.07 of the Code of Criminal Procedure with respect to his felony conviction for
failure to verify sex-offender registration within a ninety-day period. We affirmed that
judgment of conviction on July 11, 2007. See Laningham v. State, No. 10-06-00099-CR,
2007 WL 2004955 (Tex. App.—Waco July 11, 2007, pet. ref’d).
An intermediate court of appeals has no jurisdiction over post-conviction writs of
habeas corpus in felony cases. See Ex parte Martinez, 175 S.W.3d 510, 512-13 (Tex.
App.—Texarkana 2005, orig. proceeding) (citing TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art.
11.07(3)(a), (b)); Self v. State, 122 S.W.3d 294, 294-95 (Tex. App.—Eastland 2003, no pet.)
(same).
Because we have no jurisdiction over this post-conviction habeas corpus
proceeding, we dismiss it.
