EX PARTE GENTRY S. LEONARD
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 2 Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. M18-62976-I
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Myers, and Justice Pedersen, III
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
Gentry S. Leonard filed an original application for writ of habeas corpus in this Court complaining that he was being "unlawfully and illegally confined" by the trial court. We do not have jurisdiction to consider an original application for writ of habeas corpus filed in a criminal proceeding. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.05; TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.221(d); In re Ayers, 515 S.W.3d 356, 356-57 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2016, orig. proceeding) (per curiam).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
