EX PARTE FRANK ARMENTA
On Appeal from the 347th District Court of Nueces County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Longoria
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Frank Armenta, filed notices of appeal seeking to challenge orders denying a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. On August 18, 2014, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that it appeared that the orders from which these appeals were taken were not appealable orders, and requested correction of these defects within ten days or the appeals would be dismissed. Appellant has failed to respond to the Court's directive.
Jurisdiction to grant post-conviction habeas corpus relief in felony cases rests exclusively with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07, § 5 (Vernon Supp. 2011); Bd. of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); In re McAfee, 53 S.W .3d 715, 717-18 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist] 2001, orig. proceeding). Therefore, we are without jurisdiction to grant the requested relief.
The appeals are DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
PER CURIAM Do not publish.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
Delivered and filed the 25th day of September, 2014.
