FROM THE 30TH DISTRICT COURT OF WICHITA COUNTY
----------
MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
Appellant Phillip Jackson attempts to appeal from the Texas Court of
Criminal Appeals’s recent denial of his application for writ of habeas corpus. On
June 14, 2011, we notified Jackson of our concern that we lacked jurisdiction
over this appeal because this court has no jurisdiction to review decisions of the

See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals,2 and we informed him that this appeal was
subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction unless he or any party desiring to
continue this appeal filed a response with this court by June 24, 2011, showing
grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3. On June 27, 2011,
Jackson filed a response, but it does not show grounds for continuing the appeal.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P.
43.2(f).
