RICHARD GOOSBY, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 230th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1315052

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On August 14, 2012, we dismissed appellant’s attempted appeal in this case for lack of jurisdiction. Goosby v. State, 14-12-00570-CR, 2012 WL 3308742 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Aug. 14, 2012, 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.
