Opinion

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-22-00004-CR No. 10-22-00005-CR

EX PARTE JAMES GAMBRELL, JR.

Original Proceeding From the 12th District Court Walker County, Texas Trial Court No. 30096 Trial Court No. 30238

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On January 12, 2022, James Gambrell, Jr. filed what appears to be original habeas

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

“order the sheriff of Walker County Texas to show cause why he should not be released

from his illegal incarceration on a bond that he can afford.” This Court, however, has no

jurisdiction over these original applications for writ of habeas corpus. See TEX. GOV'T

CODE ANN. § 22.221 (West Supp. 2019); TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. 11.05. Accordingly, we dismiss these proceedings for want of jurisdiction.
