IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-20-00131-CR
EX PARTE VASHAUN XAVIER SCOTT
Original Proceeding
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Vashaun Xavier Scott has filed an original “Emergency Petition for Writ of Habeas
Corpus for Bail Pending Appeal” in this Court. “We do not have original habeas corpus
jurisdiction in criminal law matters.” See Ex parte Ustick, 9 S.W.3d 922, 924 (Tex. App.—
Waco 2000, orig. proceeding) (citing Ex parte Hawkins, 885 S.W.2d 586, 588 (Tex. App.—
El Paso 1994, orig. proceeding)); see also Ramirez v. State, 36 S.W.3d 660, (Tex. App.—Waco
2001, pet. ref’d) (“Most notable of the matters over which the courts of appeals do not
have jurisdiction are appeals of death penalty convictions, the authority to set aside a
final felony conviction, and no original jurisdiction of any criminal habeas corpus
proceeding.”). Accordingly, we dismiss Scott’s “Emergency Petition for Writ of Habeas
Corpus for Bail Pending Appeal.”
