IN RE ROBERT ANTHONY BROWN, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
On November 12, 2004, relator filed an original petition for writ of habeas corpus in this Court. See Tex. Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. Relator requests that we order a reasonable pretrial bond set, or alternatively, order him released from custody in cause number 954657, 954724, 990261, and 990,262 pending in the 228th District Court of Harris County.
The courts of appeals have no original habeas corpus jurisdiction in criminal matters. Tex. Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221(d) (Vernon 2004); Dodson v. State, 988 S.W.2d 833, 835 (Tex. App.CSan Antonio 1999, no pet.); Ex parte Denby, 627 S.W.2d 435, 435 (Tex. App.CHouston [1st Dist.] 1981, orig. proceeding). Therefore, we are without jurisdiction to grant habeas corpus relief.
Accordingly, we dismiss relator=s petition for writ of habeas corpus.
PER CURIAM
Petition Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed November 24, 2004.
