IN RE RONNIE ADAM CLOUD
Do Not Publish
Submitted on December 5, 2023.
Original Proceeding Criminal District Court of Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause Nos. 31615, 36545, and 36546.
Before Golemon, C.J., Johnson and Wright, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
In an original proceeding filed in this Court, Ronnie Adam Cloud filed a petition seeking what Cloud calls "a common law writ of error" and "a bill of review." In his filing, he argues that he is a "natural living man," his final felony convictions in Trial Cause Numbers 31615, 36545 and 36546 are void, and he contends he was indicted and prosecuted by individual corporations acting ultra vires and not by natural persons. He also mentions he is seeking a recovery of money on what he calls a "counterclaim."
We address Cloud's identical claims regarding two convictions out of Orange County in a separate proceeding filed in this Court as Number 09-23-00360-CR.
The exclusive State felony post-conviction judicial remedy available in Texas is by application for a writ of habeas corpus under the procedure set out in article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. See Ex parte Adams, 768 S.W.2d 281, 287 (Tex. Crim. App. 1989); see also Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07. This Court does not have jurisdiction over post-conviction habeas corpus proceedings. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.05.
This Court has original jurisdiction to issue only such writs as are necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(a). Cloud has not identified a final judgment or appealable order from which Cloud might perfect a timely appeal at this time. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.220; Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 44.02. Neither our original jurisdiction nor our appellate jurisdiction is implicated in the original petition Cloud filed with this Court. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for lack of jurisdiction.
PETITION DISMISSED.
