MEMORANDUM OPINION1 ----------

Appellant Terrance Wayne Davis attempts to appeal from the Texas Court

of Criminal Appeals’s May 11, 2011 denial of his “motion for leave to file the

original application for writ of mandamus.” On December 12, 2011, we notified

Davis of our concern that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal because this court

has no jurisdiction to review decisions of the court of criminal appeals, 2 and we

1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. 2 See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07, § 3(a) (West Supp. 2011) (stating that “[a]fter final conviction in any felony case, the writ must be made returnable to the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas at Austin, Texas”); accord informed him that this appeal was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction

unless he or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response with this

court by December 22, 2011, showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See

Tex. R. App. P. 44.3. No response was received. Accordingly, we dismiss this

appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f); Ex parte Rogers,
