Opinion
Court of Appeals Tenth Appellate District of Texas

Ex parte Thomas Moore
Original Proceeding
JUSTICE HARRIS delivered the opinion of the Court.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Thomas Moore’s “Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus” was filed on
March 23, 2026. There are procedural problems with Moore's petition, such as
no service on the trial court or the State, see TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5; but we use
Rule 2 to look beyond those problems and dismiss the petition. 1 TEX. R. APP.
P. 2.
Moore’s petition is an original petition for a writ of habeas corpus. We
have no original jurisdiction of any criminal habeas corpus proceeding. See
TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 11.05; Ramirez v. State, 36 S.W.3d 660, 664 (Tex.
App.—Waco 2001, pet. ref'd).
1 Moore also presented a “Notice” with his petition. It was also not properly served, and we do not address it. Accordingly, this proceeding is dismissed.
LEE HARRIS Justice
