MEMORANDUM OPINION
Joe N. Matthews files an original petition for a writ of habeas corpus complaining of his pre-trial confinement in a criminal cause. This court does not have original habeas corpus jurisdiction in criminal law matters. Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (d) (Vernon 2004); Dodson v. State, 988 S.W.2d 833, 835 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 1999, no pet.). Accordingly, Matthews' petition for a writ of habeas corpus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
