PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On April 26, 2010, relator Arturo Neri Prado filed a petition for writ of mandamus, seeking
relief from his final felony conviction. However, this court does not have jurisdiction to grant the
requested relief. Only the Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction relating to final post-
conviction felony proceedings. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. ANN . art. 11.07 (Vernon Supp. 2009);
Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481,
483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995) (holding that “Article 11.07 provides the exclusive means to challenge

lack of jurisdiction.
