EX PARTE TERRENCE LYNN JAMES

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Terrence Lynn James filed an original petition for writ of habeas corpus in this Court. James requests that we issue an order releasing him from custody in cause nos. 48,610, 48,611, 48,612, 48,613, 48,615, and 48,616, pending in the 23rd District Court of Brazoria County, Texas.

Courts of appeals have no original habeas corpus jurisdiction in criminal matters. Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(d) (Vernon 2004); Ex Parte Denby, 627 S.W.2d 435, 435 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1981, orig. proceeding). Therefore, we are without jurisdiction to grant habeas corpus relief.

Accordingly, we dismiss James’s original petition for writ of habeas corpus.

Terry Jennings

Justice

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Jennings and Hanks.
