Rene Francisco Aguilera v. State

Opinion

NUMBER 13-14-00441-CR

COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

EX PARTE RENE FRANSCISCO AGUILERA

On appeal from the 206th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Perkes Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, Rene Franscisco Aguilera, filed a notice of appeal seeking to challenge an order denying a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. On August 4, 2014, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that it appeared that the order from which the appeal was taken was not an appealable order, and requested correction of this defect within ten days or the appeal would be dismissed. Appellant has failed to respond to the Court’s directive.

Jurisdiction to grant post-conviction habeas corpus relief in felony cases rests exclusively with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07, § 5 (Vernon Supp. 2011); Bd. of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); In re McAfee, 53 S.W .3d 715, 717–18 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding). Therefore, we are without jurisdiction to grant the requested relief.

The appeal is DISMISSED for want of jurisdiction.

Delivered and filed the 18th day of September, 2014.
