In re Jeremy Vance Wickman

Original Proceeding

CHIEF JUSTICE JOHNSON delivered the opinion of the Court.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Crystal Wickman filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus on

behalf of Jeremy Vance Wickman, who is currently incarcerated in Navarro

County in four cause numbers. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 11.13. The

applications were filed as original proceedings in this Court contending that

Jeremy Vance Wickman is being illegally confined and unlawfully restrained

in Navarro County, Texas.

Original jurisdiction to issue a writ of habeas corpus in a criminal

proceeding is limited to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, the district

courts, and the county courts. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 11.05. In the application, Crystal Wickman does not allege that she or Jeremy Wickman

have filed petitions for a writ of habeas corpus in the trial court from which

they are attempting to appeal. Because she is seeking direct relief from this

Court, we lack jurisdiction in this proceeding. See Ex parte Twyman, 716

S.W.2d 951, 952 (Tex. Crim. App. 1986).

The petitions for writ of habeas corpus filed by Crystal Wickman on

behalf of Jeremy Vance Wickman on August 26, 2025, are dismissed for want

of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
