STEVEN RUBY WILLIAMSON,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 54th District Court
McLennan County, Texas
Trial Court Nos. 2006-1728-C2, 2006-1729-C2,
2006-1730-C2 and 2006-1733-C2
MEMORANDUM OPINION
In 2007, Appellant was convicted in these four cases. He is now seeking to obtain
court records from the district clerk in these cases. Upon his request to the district court
to instruct the district clerk to provide him with the records, the district court entered an
order denying the request for court records in each case. Appellant filed a notice of
appeal of the order.
This court has jurisdiction over criminal appeals only when
expressly granted by law. Everett v. State, 91 S.W.3d 386, 386 (Tex. App.—
Waco 2002, no pet.). No statute vests this court with jurisdiction over an
appeal from an order denying a request for a free copy of the trial record
when such a request is not presented in conjunction with a timely filed
direct appeal. Id.; see Self v. State, 122 S.W.3d 294, 294-95 (Tex. App.—
Eastland 2003, no pet.). Furthermore, an intermediate court of appeals has
no jurisdiction over post-conviction writs of habeas corpus in felony cases.
Self, 122 S.W.3d at 295 (citing TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07).
Clegg v. State, 214 S.W.3d 671 (Tex. App.—Waco 2007, no pet.).
We notified Appellant that unless he showed grounds for continuing his appeals,
we might dismiss them for want of jurisdiction. Appellant has not filed a response.
Accordingly, we dismiss these appeals for want of jurisdiction.
