FROM Criminal District Court No. 3 OF Tarrant COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]

          Appellant Kent Altonio Rogers attempts to appeal from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals’s denial of his application for writ of habeas corpus.  On August 15, 2011, we notified Rogers of our concern that we lack jurisdiction over these appeals because this court has no jurisdiction to review decisions of the court of criminal appeals,[2] and we informed him that these appeals were subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction unless he or any party desiring to continue these appeals filed a response with this court by August 25, 2011, showing grounds for continuing the appeals.  See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3.  Rogers filed a response, but it does not show grounds for continuing the appeals.  Accordingly, we dismiss these appeals for want of jurisdiction.[3]  See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
