GARY WAYNE FLIM, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 185th District Court Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1361607

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On May 2, 2013, we dismissed appellant’s attempted appeal in this case for lack of jurisdiction. Flim v. State, 14-13-00220-CR, 2013 WL 1867600 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] May 2, 2013, no pet.) (not designated for publication). Appellant has filed another notice of appeal in this trial court cause number from the trial court’s failure to grant him permission to appeal.

Only the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction over matters related to post-conviction relief from a final felony conviction. See Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. 1991); see also Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07; Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995) (holding that article11.07 provides the exclusive means to challenge a final felony conviction).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
