EX PARTE CEDRIC DEON CLARK

From the 413th District Court Johnson County, Texas Trial Court No. F48586 Trial Court No. F-201900014

Original Proceedings

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On January 4, 2023, Cedric Deon Clark filed what appears to be original habeas

corpus proceedings seeking to have this Court issue writs of habeas corpus and “release

[him] from unlawful confinement” and “cease and desist” “violations of [his]

Constitutional Amendments.” This Court, however, has no jurisdiction over these

original applications for writ of habeas corpus. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221; TEX.

CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.05; see also Ex parte Gambrell, Nos. 10-22-00004-CR & 10-22- 00005-CR, 2022 Tex. App. LEXIS 372, at *1 (Tex. App.—Waco Jan. 19, 2022, orig.

proceeding) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (dismissing original applications

for writ of habeas corpus for want of jurisdiction).

Accordingly, we dismiss these proceedings for want of jurisdiction.
