MEMORANDUM OPINION

In his petition for writ of mandamus, relator is seeking post-conviction relief from his capital murder conviction. The jury found relator guilty and the trial court sentenced the relator to confinement in prison for life. On direct appeal, we affirmed judgment of the trial court. See Williams v. State, No. 05-97-00206-CR (Tex.App.-Dallas, Dec. 31, 1998, pet. ref'd) (not designated for publication). Only the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction in final post-conviction felony proceedings. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (Vernon 2005); In re McFee, 53 S.W.3d 715, 717 (Tex.App.-Houston [1^st Dist.] 2001, no pet.). Accordingly, we DISMISS relator's petition for writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
