IN RE KEENEN JOSEPH, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS 209th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 1672991, 1729933 & 1731742
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On December 13, 2021, relator Keenen Joseph filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to order the Harris County District Attorney to show cause why relator should not be released on reasonable bond.
Original jurisdiction to grant a writ of habeas corpus in a criminal case is vested in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, the district courts, the county courts, or a judge in those courts. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.05; Ex Parte Hawkins, 885 S.W.2d 586, 588 (Tex. App.—El Paso 1994, orig. proceeding). A court of appeals does not have original habeas corpus jurisdiction to consider a challenge to the denial of bail. Ortiz v. State, 299 S.W.3d 930, 932 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2009, orig. proceeding).
Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s petition for writ of habeas corpus for lack of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Bourliot, and Poissant. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
