IN RE KEEPER RAY HUDSON, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 338th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 906051

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On September 16, 2011, relator filed a “Petition for Leave to Set Aside Void Conviction” in this court. See Tex. R. App. P. 52. Relator complains his conviction is void because the Honorable Ogden Bass was not qualified to be appointed to, and there is no order appointing him to, the 174th District Court of Harris County, Texas.

Texas Code of Criminal Procedure article 11.07 governs the procedure for obtaining post-conviction relief from a final felony conviction. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2010). Article 11.07 provides no role for the courts of appeals in this process. See id. Accordingly, we are without jurisdiction to set aside relator’s conviction. Relator's petition is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Brown, Boyce, and McCally. Do Not Publish — TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
