Opinion
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Alma L. López, Chief Justice
Catherine Stone, Justice
Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
Delivered and Filed: March 12, 2008
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On January 22, 2008, David Kendall Williams filed a notice of appeal stating his intent to appeal the trial court's "Order on Defendant's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus Seeking Bail Reduction." A clerk's record containing Williams's application for a writ of habeas corpus has been filed. However, the record does not contain an order on the application and nothing in the record indicates the trial court has issued the writ or denied the requested relief. Williams's court-appointed appellate counsel has filed a letter stating she has reviewed the record and found no appealable order.
Because the trial court has not ruled on the merits of Williams's application for writ of habeas corpus, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. See Ex parte Hargett, 819 S.W.2d 866, 868 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
